Now that looks like a fun wedding I would like to have been at.

noun: philistine; plural noun: philistines

a person who is hostile or indifferent to culture and the arts.

I am a person you have never met, who creates an obviously deliberately flippant post about a wedding and EDM music,and from this little bit of information you have formed the opinion that I am a person who is hostile or indifferent to culture and the arts.

Perhaps you should audition for the vacant post of "Sherlock" now that Benedict Cumberbatch has left.

If you play EDM at your wedding, do you refer to your wife as your ball-n-sidechain?

Repetitive beat as dance music... so easy a caveman can do it.

Sigh, I remember my step-son djaying his sister's wedding. He was off his head and played his own obscure Beatport downloads all night. The end result was a wedding where nobody was dancing all night. As the old bloke who used to do weddings I tried to explain to him the importance of ABBA, ,village People , Michael Jackson etc. at weddings. He didn't listen

These kinds of threads are weird.
Where someone just proclaims loud obnoxious ignorance and demands you play along.

Golly gosh, dad, sounds like youre just old!
Happens to the best of em, fella.

Sounds like someone should have explained to his sister the importance of not letting an amateur DJ her wedding.

This was the first time that I had experienced an evening of EDM.

And based on what I heard,and after I gave up trying to dance to it....

EDM= "The Emperors New Clothes"

"keep on twiddling"

"its Muzak Jim,but not as we know it"

Ok.

I have very little knowledge of "EDM" and its myriad of confusing terms, nor "House Music" which has evolved into something else from its beginnings in the 80s.

But.

I do have synths with patches on (eg:Hybrid) which have Bontempi style press a key to play EDM chord type thingies.

These arpeggio type chords appear to my ears to flow from consonance to dissonace and back etc. As these often form the very backbones of EDM/House music,I stand by my stance that dissonance plays a big part in EDM/House/dance music.

Unlike in Jazz which uses dissonance briefly for effect,this dissonance is milliseconds in duration,but the overall effect is dissonance and not consonance.

So I guess the modern generation of today has developed an ear for dissonance,which is not unlike the sound of eastern music,such as sometimes played in China.

House music....aka....modern disco....
If we take house music as mid 80s,you would have been mid teens,so you are roughly 45 years old.

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 have seen this 'rule' stated many times, and in many different forms. Insofar as it is true it makes me sad.

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.

Agreed. In my case, I've continued to change with some of my favorite artists as they change. Sometimes they go where I don't want to follow, but it hasn't been too bad. My taste has widened a lot since teenage years.

Its not so much could I dance to it,or would I want to.

I like to enjoy the music I dance to,but this type of music is not to my personal taste.

Much too fast and repetitive,which imposes a certain type of dance upon you.

More of a lower body shuffle,than a whole body experience as in 4/4 120 bpm music.

Its robotic computer music,and not talented musicians playing real instruments together which introduces the human element into music.
