There is an argument that if young people’s music is annoying old people, then it’s doing something right.

That’s definitely true. But this isn’t music!

Oh, you read my mind.

Loads of people know, you’re not special. Reminds me of that dreadful mid nineties dressy period, vip area bollocks, too much coke and dull Strictly 12s.

They said that about punk.

I know, I know.

Tbh with the sounds of hardcore, bass, jungle etc booming from my son’s bedroom constantly i did find myself thinking ‘this is just noise, play something better’. At that point i think i may actually have officially become old.

If he was playing EDM I would probably throw him out!!

Classic ‘British’ complaint from my neighbour:

Started chatting to me outside our houses, usual inane stuff. Then says oh, by the way, have you got a 3D printer?

To which I say no, then thinking he wants to use a 3D printer start suggesting someone who has one etc.

He says no, he didn’t want to use one, it’s just that when he sits in the part of their house which is joined to ours, he says he swears he can hear me using a 3D printer.

Translation from ‘British’ = tell your son to turn his fucking music down.

It does sound like a 3D printer to be fair!!

People who say “Hi” on Teams and leave it there…

“I see you wish to play the waiting game?” 🙄

Me too. Anyone says “Hi” I leave it until they follow up or I’ll wait until just before I’m done for the day and reply “Hi”

I looked into this a bit while i was between meetings, and i checked out a podcast with someone who was talking about some of this lot and there seems to be a bit of an issue in general with the big rooms in commercial clubs and at these “Ultra” type festivals where all the djs are expected to play the same 50 well known songs, so they all make slight edits, or use the rmx1000 to add things on the go.

But at the same time, these festivals are where you need to be able to film the content for your next smash hit. Which means that you have to break from the expectation of the crowd and play something they _don’t_ know, which means they will all stop dancing while you film a huge stationary crowd so you can add…

…to promote it on your social media account to get engagement of people saying stuff like…

If i was a teenager right now i wouldn’t really be concerning myself with this, i’d be ignoring it the same way i ignored Gatecrasher, and whatever the hell “Hardbag” was.

I’ll film some footage at the festival i am playing in a couple of weeks and see how it measures up to this.

My gf’s cousin’s son is into the tech/drop/edm stuff and is really enthusiastic about it all and is really ambitious and it’s not for me to piss on the parade because a. It’s not my place and b. He wouldn’t listen. They have to find their own way. Not for us to sneer. I’m way past all that now. You reach a point where you instinctively know where to find the good stuff and anything else ceases to matter.

Totally this. Who are we to negate young people’s experiences? After all, although we knew about the 60’s, we didn’t let it affect how we felt about our partying
