Why old school DJs are complainging and you should too

[JasonBay]

So now there are different levels of old school? Are we just going to back to when you started? How about people who were doing it long before you and think you're not a real DJ until you can work that reel to reel and get it in time with a record?

In their eyes your not a 'real' DJ yet either, are you going to learn how to do that?

If i have to go back to Djing with 2 Rocks and a Stick to be considered "real" by the old timers, then yes...

Im just frustrated at how people are taking advantage of technology now a days, and ruining a hobby that once was legendary...

Its like building a KitCar. Back in the day people would spends days and days building, welding, crafting...and they still do this... But what happens if in the future you can just buy a kit cars just came already assembled...Are you going to say that you put the time and effort into making the Kit Car that you bought preassembled?

Is it considered insulting an obvious troll (or some other forum violation) to post a link for how to block the user in the thread?

I kinda liked that song…well the 2.3 seconds of it that anyone remembers…for pop.

Also, that album was recorded at the same studio as "Thriller".

Oldschool djs can complain, cause they can. They been there, done that, and put a whole lot of time into their vinyl or cd collection that took years to put together, now anyone with a computer and internet connection could get music and software for free and label themselves a "DJ".

On the flip side, alot of Oldschool djs a very closed minded about new technology. They forget that djs back then that scratched or beatmatched they were the hipsters.

It has nothing to do with technology. It's a matter of entitlement and understanding. Too much of one and not enough of the other.

This pretty much sums it up well. Kids think just because they have the tools they should be DJing everywhere and anywhere, but don't have the experience to actually be able to pull it off. Sure, they might not be train wrecking, but there's a lot more that they can do to make a bad mix than that.
