I would never say I hate a particular genre (appart from what is laughably known as R&B these days), check out UNKLE if you want to hear electronica at its best, not strictly dance music I know.

You know it, boom boom boom zzzz boom boom boom electronic crap without any musical value. Don't tell me it's because I'm old because it's been around for 20 odd years since before I got old and I bloody hated it back then.

How are you on DubStep?

I like some dance records that are basically singles and last 3-4min... the stuff they play in clubs IS just unending dross.

What's not to love?

Agreed. But what an arse and I haven't even watched the vid yet

Time to switch off my own music and wander over to youtube then

Most of this stuff can only be appreciated on a certain level if you have taken E in a dance music setting. This is because IMHO a lot of the music is designed to build up and enhance an ecstasy high. If you have never taken E then you wouldn't having a feeling for why the track is building and repeating, and you wouldn't hear old tracks with hairs standing up on your neck - of course you can intellectually understand what's happening but you don't feel the record. Having said that, I agree with you, a lot of it is just trype.

Yep. I suffered this tripe last year when a new bar opened down my street and were playing it way too loud. It was basically the same simple tune with a load of background discordant boom, but there were quiet bits building up to another crescendo. I think they had a repertoire of about 3 tunes, each lasting a couple of hours.

Never taken E, but apparently DJs discovered in the late 80s / early 90s that this kind of music got an audience of E takers going, and the rest of us got stuck with the racket.

It's bloody brain dead crap for someone who appreciates proper music.
