Being sober, snapping out of your trend trance and realizing how shitty IDM actually is

You know what, I've had a change of heart and I fully support CDubs views. Let's burn this fucker to the ground. It's all rubbish.

idm is shit, i've been working for more than a year now to open up peoples minds im glad there are more mature and rational people in here like me and you watkins.

I think the Watkins track is lovely.

It is! Just a little bit of mastering here and there, and indeed some cowbells.

idm is basically the definition of shit

this is not realising how shit any music is. it's realising that smoking weed alters your perception.

and not realising that you don't have consume drugs just cos you listen to a particular kind of music.

or listen to a particular kind of music because you consume drugs.

Waow dud I totally agree before I liked dim, then I stopped getting stoned, now I'm rich

I listen to music sober most of the time, and because of that I've had very visceral and intense reactions while high or drunk (for me drunk = nostalgia/emotional connection, high = sound and aesthetics are enhanced). I feel bad for people who put priority on the mind-altering first, and the experience and context second. Music should be appealing to you sober, if it's not don't even both listening to it on drugs.

(Also, is that why mediocre jam bands and club music exist, because the core audience is perpetually high?)

I don't understand the 'IDM' hate on this board... As far as compositional potential goes there really are no limits which is why it's trite to even refer to it as a genre. Sure, maybe it's not 'relevant' now but I am struggling to understand why so many people on an electronic music board are citing 'cultural relevance' as a hallmark of artistic validity. I'll admit that around 2000 there was an awful lot of reverbed white-key melodies with syncopated clicks going around, but any genre has its share of detritus which serves to buoy the best producers in the scene above the trash.

Good point.

I always see/hear this kind of music as cokecore, don't actually know the real name of the genre.

He's been around 4 a while, just one guy not a band, he's actually very good most of the time

Believe it or not, I visit this forum to find out about and chat about new and old music that I enjoy. Sometimes I visit threads on other topics. I generally ignore threads like this, but there seems to be a trend going on here lately. I don't care whether CharlieWatkins is joking or not. Either way, this thread is quite negative. How about considering starting a constructive thread, the next time you're in the mood for starting a discussion of a new topic? The world is fucking depressing enough as it is; we don't need this shit.

^ I actually like that track, it was played with other bass heavy and good (imo) garage and dubstep, even though that vocal sample phrasing is a bit too off, reminds me of these dark tunes:

http://youtu.be/4n1W9Ort3Os

I don't think any of these tracks endorse coke, if anything it's the opposite. I think Sicko Cell is a homage to those more than anything. It was a notorious white label 12" btw - people didn't know it was Joy Orbison officially for over a year.

This thread was fucking boring

This is the shit I was talking about and I think you described aptly

^I just put "EDM molly" in youtube search - never heard it before today

http://youtu.be/L2zPjPVselI

jam band stuff - just not my taste but it's ok, but seriously, major pothead following and it's hardly that amazing - just blues and rock improv

http://youtu.be/fe6anqOEpb8

I mean, fuck, some of the most out there music has been made by teetotalers, Frank Zappa being a great example. Likewise the absolutely most dull trap and mainstream hip-hop is produced by dudes who smoke weed 24/7
