Sorry but this topic blows. I find it ignorant to narrow down the whole forum's taste in music to the level of bands/rappers. That would assume that people have only 2 choices: whether you listen to rap or a music made by bands which in fact leaves out electronic music made by solo producers. A bit offtopic, but it's also fair to say that the quality levels/standards in the overall music industry have never ever been so low as they are right now and that pretty much applies to every genre out there, especially ideawise...I find it amazing how dull some of the tracks sound these days, makes me wanna puke that every kid who has a PC and Fruity Loops at home or who has been shot at least 2 times is qualified enough to be a "musician". I have been in the industry for over 7 years so trust me I know what I'm talking about.

Once again InVion jumps in to share his foolishness, we have really understood already that you aren't the brightest pencil in the crate. If you had any counter arguments for my statement you would have written them here, but obviously you don't know much about the topic so better don't even try. Oh and by the way last time I checked the point of the discussion board was to discuss (means that people exchange different opinions). And I really don't recall you sharing any wisdom anywhere so far so it's fair to assume that you are a demagogue.

most of my bands started back in late 80's early 90's and so on.. i agree new music sucks. i dont see how electronic music is skilled. all it takes is time.. while playing an instrument in a band takes time AND skill. maybe you'll view that as ignorant but bands are way more skilled than electronic music.

Oh man I do find it a bit ignorant. First of all since we are living in an extremely digital musical era, the instrumental side basically survives thanks to the electronic support. Secondly I can't even comment how wrong it is to think that producing electronic music doesn't require any skill, there are still tons of producers out there whose sound engineering skills are out of this world and those are the people pushing the boundaries of the musical spectrum by creating fusions of various genres at the same time discovering and improving new soundscapes...it's fair to call some of them scientists of sound really. And I am not talking about the crap you can hear on MTV and such. By the way don't take it as I am a truehead electronic music listener, I'm not, I am opened to all the genres because I know there is quality in each of them, you just have to find it.

Good discussion tho.
