How much truth lies in this EDM music parody?

Hey guys,

I just found this video, gave it to Phil Morse @ digitaldjtips and he put it on the FB page. Now that I’ve seen some reactions over there, I was wondering, what the DJTT-community has to say about it.

And before anyone asks: I’m not paid for posting this vid, I’m really curious, because I somehow feel the same like the way it’s being parodied. I can’t really differ anymore whose track’s just being played, since a lot of them use the same techniques.

So what do you have to say about this parody? How much truth lies behind this parody?

It’s pretty true for a lot of the cheese house and top 40 edm, but there’s always more than what’s on the surface for any genre of music. As for these guys, they’re just not funny. Their other videos aren’t funny either.

thier 4 chord song was the only video i liked.

It spot on.

5

Was this a parody, I thought it was real.

100% accurate and I blame the death of Raves for making this video the ubiquitous truth of all clubs and club music.

Thus must have been filmed in Dubai, lol. Just needs more popped collar douche baggery, ferarri caps and aviators. Funny.

Absolutely hilarious at 1:06 & 2:29!!!

But the video is ABSOLUTELY true. Anyone starting out would do well to write out the lyrics, and learn them as a lesson in how to make the kind of CRAP that is passing as dance music these days.

If you wanna make dance music that sounds like pop, DON’T listen to acts like Masters at Work/Orbital/Underworld/Leftfield (LEFTFIELD!!! Go and buy Rhythm & Stealth NOW!!!)/Hybrid/BT (DEFINITELY buy Movement in Still Life!).

But I’d suggest that you DO listen to these acts.

If you feel there is any truth to that vid then you need to listen to some different music and go to a different club.

This hit way too close to home.

11

like 95% of clubs in my local area i’m sad to say, sad fact of the popularity of cheesy pop dance crap

12

lol

13

To the mainstream of edm its definitely true.. But noone here i hope is into that.

It’s pretty easy to make fun of any genre of music. Behind every genre parody is a spiteful person that didn’t make it.

I think it parodies a club situation more than anything. As Fellow DJ’s we get drawn to the musical aspect of the video, but the bit about Q’ing at the bar and shouting in some lasses ear rings all too true in whatever nightclub your at, and whatever music they’re spinning!

It wouldn’t be so funny if it wasn’t so true!

Love this parody, sums of most places where I live and the people who frequent them.
