you are right OP.

but no hipster will accept it, they don't like to use logic or reason.

>implying hipsters care what deadmau5 says

Just a pity I wouldn't class what Deadmau5 and his ilk produce as 'music', then, really.

>>11103764
what's the point of being heard if you have nothing new to say?

>Joel Zimmerman
>artist

>Lady Gaga
>responsible for bringing dance music to the commercial market

Like anyone cares what Deadmau5 says. He makes awful dance music.

Just because a lot of people have awful taste in music doesn't make Deadmo5 any more bearable.

And it doesn't validate anything that fucking moron says just because you like him, either.

Seriously, you came to 4chan to quote Deadmo5? Really bro?

>TAKE THAT YOU FUCKING HIPSTERS FROM THE MOUTH OF DEADMO5

deadmau5, original or not, hipster or not, good or not, i love him.

brb some chords

>>11103764
I don't have a problem with what he's saying... but I still don't like deadmau5. He uses a "shotgun approach" to composition - puts out so many tracks that there's inevitably a good one here and there, even though most suck. And he personally is an absolute cunt. Probably the biggest asshole in electronic music aside from Basshunter.

(Basshunter is hard to top... he's been know to throw crying, screaming tantrums like a little girl when venues fail to provide him with free booze.)

>>11103823
Exactly. This shit isn't music or true compostion, it's the work of much better, more talented individuals, electronically cut and pasted by some faggot in a mouse head mask or some trap with a telephone stuck in her hair to a repetitive beat. Why they don't get their asses sued for plagiarism, I don't know.

I've never heard deadmouse (I refuse to use that faggy spelling)
I recently read the name in a /mu/ thread
how bad of music are we talking about here

>>11103925
We're talking a lot of dance music fans hate him as well. It's not just not liking the genre, he actually makes shit music.

Deadmau5 sucks hard

inb4 thread derailing due to electronic music bashing... oh wait.

God, you're all faggots.

>>11103893
Most electronic music is *not* built on entire sampled rhythms but on individual sampled instruments arranged note by note into loops by the composer. Programmable pattern synthesizers like the TB-303 feature heavily - you've just never seen it actually done live. Even today that means racks and racks of keyboards and pads. Plus I'd like to see you sit down at a tracker and TRY to produce a song, pic realted

err, as I was saying, pic related.

>>11103925
Deadmo5 is the Papa Roach of Dance music.

Which means stupid people really like it.

>and I mean really fucking like it

Post an award from a source anyone gives a fuck about.

I'll be waiting, but I don't have all day.

I listen to music that would be considered "hipster" by a lot of people and I get excited if bands I like get good press or radio play or whatever.

OP is just insecure about liking something popular and is trying to talk himself out of feeling bad about it.

Deadmau5 hasn't got the right to comment about shit. He's a below-average DJ with a gigantic ego.

So what. Why would we care for anything more than if we like the music or not?

>>11103925
I have basically decided not to listen to anything past Daft Punk and Justice in the genre of House because of how shit it was.

>>11104036
Go back to /b/ Joel, no one gives a shit about you here.

>>11104097
Give Boys Noize a listen. &Down, Lava, Shine Shine, Kontact Me and Oh!

You'll probably dig it.

>>11104036
The same DJ Mag Poll fucking Tiesto always comes top 3 in? Wow.
Seriously, he makes shit music, he's retarded enough to insult DJs and no-one will remember him fondly in years to come.

I play music, and this is not music.

>sage for beta tier music

Most rap is omega tier. Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy etc.

>>11104036
>MY FAV ARTIST HAS SO MNY AWRDS OMG HE SO GUD

Oh the stupid shit stupid people will resort to saying instead of arguing for themselves.

>I bet he listens to Disturbed too

>deadmau5
>not shit
hahaha, oh wow.

Wow that shit is shit.

I'm amazed, people actually listen to this.

>>11104006
>>11104019
Sure, looks complicated. Now have some Sibelius; I just happened to have it on hand.

ITT: people hating something popular

>>11104019
>>11104006
That looks pretty fucking straightfoward, to be brutally honest. In the meantime, I'll be over here perfecting that John Petrucci guitar solo, which actually is difficult
>>11104122
I like Boyz Noize. He took the last 30 seconds of a below-average Late of the Pier song and turned it into something awesome. Technically, he's electro, not house. I think. Fucking labels...

club music has been mainstream in europe for along time

now it is getting mainstream in the us

i hate deadmaus but i agree with the statement

>and i'm a huge hipster

>>11104284
Uh, I don't know if you're trying to defend that music by showing it's complexity with sheet music.


But if you know about sheets and stuff, that's nothing.

Do people hate Deadmouse because he wears that mask or is it really because of his music?

why the fuck do you all hate deadmau5 so much?

>>11103764
I don't know too many hipsters, including myself (after much thought, I have concluded that I am indeed a hipster), who listen to deadmaus. About 90% of dance music sucks balls anyway, so no one is really listening to this guy except high school kids who want to seem different.

Real talent at work. I imagine if the guitarist and keyboard player ever turned their hand to it, they could take over the dance music scene in a matter of weeks...

Like it or not, he's making an influence. People are taking notice of him. What have you faggots done lately?

>>11104342
>In the meantime, I'll be over here perfecting that John Petrucci guitar solo, which actually is difficult

So let me get this straight: you're going to put more work in to get far less done. Because, apparently, it's easy as shit to produce dance music, but ever so hard to pull off that Petrucci solo. With less effort, he'll get the attention and adoration of millions, while you spend exorbitant amounts of time on what amounts to nothing more than doing the same shit other people have already done. Nice work.

>>11104440
>>11104442
Because his music is lazily written, as a matter of fact, it isn't written, it's just produced in the same way that shitty clothes are produced en masse by fucking machines and poor asians.

>>11104467
You just mad because it turned out I know how to use music editing software. I had to help my university's beat society put together a System 7 speaker setup, then wince as I was manning the bar while they used the best speakers available to play fucking Dubstep.

>>11104496
Then why do people adore him and his music? Why has he gone from a nobody to the headliner of any show?

>>11104523
Same reason sheeple put more Gaga records straight to number 1 than Beatles records.

>>11104505
>HERP DERP I CAN SET UP SPEAKERS AND USE PRO TOOLS

>>11104569
Can't you? :3

Ugh, Dream Theater.

I'd consider real talent as

Even this guy who has only a few thousand views on each of his youtube videos has more talent than the shit in this thread.

thanks for killing little girls at EDC

To the sagers if you followed deadmau5 on twitter you'd know he's at a show right now about to perform

god who doesn't follow deadmau5 on twitter. I bet you faggots don't even have twitter accounts. People like you are a bane to the internet. I know you think you're part of the "real internet" despite never having contributed anything to it

>>11104578
Anyone could. Hell of a lot easier to work with audio now than it used to be. The question is how you use it.

>>11104523
Simple people like simple things. Most people think of music as just simple entertainment, something that can be played in the background while you do other shit. When you're listening to some music while doing something, you don't want to have to sit down and actually listen to make sense of it, you want something repetitive and simple.

Also, music is so pervasive today within advertising that people's opinion of it has less to do with how good it actually is than it does with how can you get someone's attention for 5-20 seconds. The easiest way to do this is by keeping it simple, and very non-adventurous.

>>11103764
It's funny because Deadmau five is the biggest commercial whore ever.

>>11104628
>I suck twitter cock
Cool story bro.

>>11104599
Dream Theater - potentially awesome band ruined by a shit vocalist.

Try their side project, Liquid Tension Experiment:

Also, I liked the Rachmaninoff link. Classy.

>>11104599
>my opinion is better than yours

I'm watching a documentary about the meaning of music (the subjects being interviewed are culled almost entirely from within the pop music realm), and some fucking idiot named mickey avalon (I think) just said that everyone starts to learn music/play an instrument because they want to have sex not because they feel any sort of need for self-expression. FUCK THAT FUCKING STUPID MOTHERFUCKER, HE IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH A LOT OF MUSIC TODAY.

>>11104740
Oh, he's totally correct. When I started playing piano at seven, all I could think was, "yeahhhhh this is gonna get me SO much tail."

>>11104772
Seriously, when I started to write music it had nothing to do with other people, it was all about me just expressing myself. Even today I don't really like letting other people hear what I write because it is so personal.
