I have seen this 'rule' stated many times, and in many different forms. Insofar as it is true it makes me sad.dellboy wrote:If we take house music as mid 80s,you would have been mid teens,so you are roughly 45 years old.ghettosynth wrote:Depends on what you mean by EDM.

House music....aka....modern disco....
This is based on my rule that the music of our teenage years stays with us for life as the best music ever made.
To my ears,it is just a repetive beat with samples thrown in. Not what I would like to listen or dance to.
I know that some people are like this, or the oldies stations wouldnt update their playlists every 10 years. But the idea that most are like this is very depressing.
As for myself, most of the music I admire most was made by people who died long before I was born. What that means I dont know.

But still the same it often holds true.
I find it depressing though when some people get totally stuck in the music of their youth. Perhaps it was one particular heavy metal band,and only that one band, for the rest of their life.

Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.

And I suppose my point is that EDM has never gelled with me.
But neither did Stravinsky "The rite of spring"
Guess I am not a fan of dissonance.
I like music to have structure and melody.

LOL! Mid 80s, you don't say? House music didn't become interesting to me until the mid to late 90s. There was nothing that sounded like that in the mid 80s. To the extent that early electronica was available then, I had no access to it, and, I wasn't a teenager in the mid 80s, so, nope, you're wrong on all fronts.dellboy wrote:If we take house music as mid 80s,you would have been mid teens,so you are roughly 45 years old.ghettosynth wrote:Depends on what you mean by EDM.

You're feeding your own biases here. Some of us actually keep listening to new music. I still listen to new styles, Sometimes I'm into what's on the cutting edge, sometimes I'm not.This is based on my rule that the music of our teenage years stays with us for life as the best music ever made.
That's because you're actually that guy that you're projecting. If you can't dance to house music, it has been said, that you can't dance.To my ears,it is just a repetive beat with samples thrown in. Not what I would like to listen or dance to.

Ok, now you're just expressing ignorance man, seriously.dellboy wrote:That is not remotely connected to disco.ghettosynth wrote: House music....aka....modern disco....
He aint no Giorgio Moroder.
Disco was repetive synth music put to good use.
That is repetive dissonance.
This new track by Jamiroquai has that original disco vibe and shows synths put to good use .......

I do not know much 5th century BC Greek music Heroditus.herodotus wrote: As for myself, most of the music I admire most was made by people who died long before I was born. What that means I dont know.
Bet its pretty sad if Socrates is anything to go by. Not exactly the life and soul of the party was he ?

Oh poppycock, he's projecting. It's quite common here. Yes, there's some science behind the idea, but a lot of it comes from the nature of your social lives in and beyond your teenage years.herodotus wrote:I have seen this 'rule' stated many times, and in many different forms.

When we look back on our pasts, the memories that dominate this narrative have two things in common: They’re happy, and they cluster around our teens and early 20s.

Ghettosynth has just made dance into his own image.ghettosynth wrote:

No one else in all history had ever danced until House Music was invented.
