I don't like modern dance music, either, but not only because of the aggressive sound as such, but also because I don't associate any feelings with it, it is not "from my time", no memories are being triggered, etc.

I'm not against 4-to-the-floor music at all. What I HATE are these overloud knocking plastic kicks, that's what I complained. I don't have a problem with 90ies house music where the kick isn't that extreme. But nowadays everyone tries to make the kicks as loud as possible. Recently I listened to a Shaun Baker tune and it felt like someone wildly knocking at my door for 4 minutes, I even felt slightly dizzy... 
I'm a big fan of deep house with deep (low) kicks and of tribal house with other percussion elements...

I like the music I am stuck with. Why should I force myself to like something modern? I may like a modern track in terms of sound, analytically, intellectually, but it will never touch me the way music from my young years does.ghettosynth wrote:Don't get me wrong, I don't like much of anything from the past 15 years of dutch trance, electro, xstep, or the new progressive house, but, this isn't everything EDM.

I actively try to avoid getting caught up in this. I force myself to listen to new music and think about it in its context and its relation to past contexts. I try to identify and pinpoint why I don't like it and challenge myself to validate my objections externally.but also because I don't associate any feelings with it, it is not "from my time", no memories are being triggered, etc.
I don't mind getting older, but I do mind getting older and getting stuck, either in the past, or in trying to be cool.

Maybe it is a replacement for real rhythm. I mean, with excessive bass drums, you can't really play rhythms like with an acoustic bass drum.Tricky-Loops wrote:I'm not against 4-to-the-floor music at all.
