[QUOTE="blue jammer, post: 356574, member: 1606"] Electro isn't coming back as electro though, it's electro-clash, coupling the electro sound with a punk element. Of course there's electronica, but I doubt many people on here will have listened to that (sorry those that have - fair play) The genre naming thing can be a nightmare, as there's so many fragmented styles now, it's hard to tell what is what when listening to them side by side. Sadly that's the way a lot of people prefer it, so they know what to ask for in a record shop. You don't [I]need[/I] to do re-hashes of old skool classics for the kids of today, it's just you are lazy and can't come up with new material, fullstop. The UK bastardised two sounds from America, and since we've tried to feed back to them what we've done, and I often put my head in my hands with a lot of the stuff the Brits have done, as it does lack soul and emotion, and that alone is where I can see the arguement against dance music as not being "musical". Repetitive stabs are awful, they always were, and those types of styles dated the most. As for old skool being too slow, I think that the biggest problem people in clubs face thesedays is the DJ who is afraid to play different tempo records. The whole ethos that a club night has to be one style only is bullshit, back in 1990 a lot of nights I'd gone to played many styles in the one night, it was all about taking risks, not about sticking to a strict set and being too afraid to drop something slow like 97 bpm killer dub track, that you know the crowd would appreciate whilst they were getting ready for the next part of the night. This will always be a horses for courses thing though, so I'll leave it there. This is Victor Meldrew signing off. I Don't Believe It. Goodnight. [/QUOTE]
