my friend was one day hearing hardstyle all the time and the day after he was hearing all what remains and it have never changed.

Used to listen to Happy Hardcore, then got stuck on Trance. Been loving trance since High School. Last massive I went to was Nocturnal Wonderland and Paul Van Dyk was the headliner. Just awesome!!

Been getting into Drum and Bass as well as Chill Out. Hardstyle sounds great too, was thinking of learning the Melbourne Shuffle just so I have an alternative to running for cardio. When it's rainy and no treadmill, dance!!

A cool metal/alt/techno mix is Enter Shikari. Saw those guys live as well, some British Firecrackers! Definitely get you moving and moshing while twirling glow sticks.

Never heard of "chill out" before and I've seen quite a lot of different genres. Care to explain or link I would love to discover another form of awesome.

Hardstyle for the win!

Zalorticus · February 19, 2010, 04:32:32 AM

So many types...: hardstyle, hardcore, house, dance, j-core, dubstep (kinda counts I suppose), speedcore, chillout, whatever Aphex Twin is, and some others I'm sure that are missing.

IlccEyren · February 19, 2010, 11:51:49 AM

anybody listen to industrial? i dabble in it. in some aspects its better then techno because it doesnt repeat a thousand times but alot of the bands tend to go screamo so thats where i find it less apealing

Ezy Ryder · February 19, 2010, 12:01:02 PM

I don't understand why do You call it music. Music is the effect of using instruments, not signal generators and other stuff connected to a speaker, which stop playing when the battery is too low or when they're plugged off. Generators are good but not in music... in electronics...

IlccEyren · February 19, 2010, 12:07:25 PM

well if you think about it in that way you can break it down even further. sound is an oscillating pressure wave created by vibrating a solid object. the more pressure waves a second the higher the pitch becomes. this is sound. music is technically only sound matched up to a beat or time signature. this now is music. music is only sound that its set to a rythym and so for instance the creation of the blueman group. incredible music all from sound that arent matched up to true instruments. most of the music you can listen to is played through speakers which changes it from instrumental to electronic if your picky. plus most instruments have gone electronic so music played is transferred to an amplifier before becoming a pressure wave. this is music so it counts

Music is organized sound that someone enjoys. So yes it's music.

Ezy Ryder · February 20, 2010, 04:31:00 AM

Not always organized. Look at Jimi Hendrix's playing style... The feedback is not always fully controllable. People can enjoy more thinks, which still aren't music...

So your saying that someone that's played by accident is good? Kinda sounds like he doesn't know how to play. Now don't get me wrong Jimi is one if not the greatest player alive but your comment says otherwise.

Ezy Ryder · February 21, 2010, 08:13:41 AM

Firstly Jimi is dead so he was the greatest, but nobody will be better.
Secondly feedback of Jimi Hendrix wasn't unwanted, it wasn't a mistake. It's not fully controllable but also not uncontrollable.
For example listen to the intro of Foxy Lady, it's not fully controlled but sounding as much as he wanted as needed.
1970 Jimi Hendrix - Foxy Lady

Damn I had like ten typos on the other post...

EDIT: What the poster under me says.

IlccEyren · February 21, 2010, 10:30:54 PM

My apologies Ezy Ryder but declaring something, which the world denotes is music, is not music is similar to saying that your right and everyone else on the planet is wrong. Im sorry but that is terribly small minded and pitiful. To declare billions upon billions of people are wrong and your the only one with an answer doesnt give you a good rap. I know its been done before by many genii, Columbus and Galileo for example, but we arent discussing something that can be scientifically proven wrong because its not something that is fact based its a preference differing between every human being that lives. Music cannot be told its not music because it is and even if you dont like it someone does and because of that it is music.

Ezy Ryder · February 22, 2010, 04:35:37 AM

And someone likes racism. I didn't said that I'm right, just that I can't understand why do You call it music. By the way, You really think that as many people like techno? I can say that almost nobody listens to Rock or Blues today (I'm not saying that I'm proud 'bout it) but it's nothing bad 'bout it (almost).
