Title: Hardstyle
Post by: strongbad on January 11, 2011, 07:27:55 PM
Anybody else into hardstyle? That's all I've been listening to for the last couple weeks.
Showtek is fairly entry level I suppose, but I fucking love it:

I'd love to exchange tracks if anybody else is into this stuff  hocuspocus;

Having never had much of an interest in it before, I always thought hardstyle would be a lot harsher.

Not this harsh, though.[/spoiler]

You see, I used to think the same thing, but I realized that this music is for raving and not listening to and being pretentious about. Also, like I said, Showtek is entry level hardstyle. It gets better, but I'm assuming that a lot of you guys aren't into hardstyle, which is why I posted Showtek.

It probably would be somewhat danceable/listenable if it didn't have some retarded DJ talking over it. psyduck;

I dont like popping balloons, but there really isn't any redeeming qualities to that stuff.
I'm not sure how one would dance to that either, especially me. How the shit would I incorporate the "sprinkler" or "starting the lawnmower"?

Sorry.

But then again, Boyah likes to disregard unpopular opinions so it probably doesn't matter that I said that giggle;

I'm not trying to insult your tastes i just seriously don't see what you find appealing about it
it might be fine at a dance party or something, but in that case i don't see why you'd listen to it outside those events

I just enjoy it, I know lots of people around my university who do as well, and I was wondering if anybody on Boyah did as well. But it's okay! I love listening to a bunch of assholes who don't understand what the word opinion means too!

Yeah, mell-o.

It's not a personal affront or anything and has nothing to do with you as an individual.
Maybe it's just a regional thing.
Around here we have some really bad local folk groups that are actually really good, but I wouldn't expect other people would like them.

I'm all for sharing opinions, and I'm not directing this at you specifically, but it seems whenever somebody posts something slightly unpopular, people are mean about it.

Like shit, I don't care if you come in here and say you don't like it, but most of the posts are just people saying how HORRIBLE it is and how awful it sounds. I just see no need to be an asshole about it. Besides, I didn't start the topic saying "LOOK AT THIS AWESOME NEW GENRE I DISCOVERED SHARE YOUR OPINIONS." I asked if anybody else was into it, and was looking for somebody to share tracks with. I didn't create this thread with the intention of people saying how horrible my taste in music is. Even though it shouldn't, stuff like that gets to me. It gets to most people. I'd be pretty surprised if somebody said that they were really into a song while driving, and every passenger went on to say how HORRIBLE it was, that the driver wouldn't take it somewhat personally.

But then again this is just how I see things, maybe I need to stop taking things so fucking seriously. Or go talk to somebody and get a lot of drugs to make me feel better. I feel like this all the time now

I understand that a few of us were coming off as dicks, but there was no ill will, mostly on my part.

But this might have some serious merit to it. A lot of your posts directly and completely revolve around taking them/experiences, which is all good and well, to an extent. It's exciting to share new experiences.

But, you come off as a little strung out. Maybe tone it down a bit. Obviously I cant speak for any experiences you're having, but I've gone through the same thing, on some level or another.

The moment you start using to make you feel better, it's time to take a quick look at how much/how often you use, and for what purpose. It should be a recreational thing, not a crutch.

usually it is an "esteemed Critic" that comes up with the genre name/scene stereotypes and people start using it so much that it becomes impossible not to use it even if you hate the term

Lol that has nothing to do with anything. I'm really not a druggie, I'm just interested in them. Don't worry, I'm not doing anything past Cannabis or Shrooms.

And I hate how techno is what is played at parties. And the argument used is, "well you can dance to it". Yea, if you wanna dance like a mindless droning robot.

There is SUCH better music to dance to, that actually has soul to it also.

The term itself is kind of silly; it was made up by reviewers to describe the experimental electronic music of Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Autechre, Squarepusher, and many others. The artists in question often reject the term. baddood;
