20 y/o adult, developing serious problem

StephenInsane

I am a 20 year old adult, i am intelligent with a stable homelife, i have a broad array of hobbies, and friends who love me.

But recently i have been developing a severe problem. I am developing a taste for...DANCE MUSIC!

The problem developed from bebo, a lot of people have dance music as thier "flash boxes". At first it was just a bit of fun, i'd nod my head slightly when "Dj SKanGer" or whoever came on. But the problem has gotton out of hand, I find that i'm going onto peoples pages just to listen to thier dance music and downloading dance music. Today I realised that i had a real problem when purchased my first CD.

Should I could get professional help, or should i just resign myself to being a dance music skanger, buy a baseball cap, a civic, and say "yeah man" after everything i say?

Sorry if this should be personal issues.

you are fcuked man!Might as well start popping those yolks, the more you take , the quicker the alzheimers will come and make you forget about dance music!

Haha, im in the same boat, just go with the flow and be thankful you've got a new genre of music thats easy on your ears.

If you actually dance to it, its a great workout.

Having the same problem myself recently. When I was a young teeny bopper I was into dance music, prodigy experience was what done it for me. Still love the prodigy but thought I had successfully grown out of rave and dance **** years ago after my conversion to brit pop by oasis and then onto better stuff like pearl jam, radiohead, Johnny cash and metallica. Imagine my horror lately as I have begun listen to my younger brothers dance downloads as it brings back a sense of nostalgia because most of it is the same stuff I listened to as a kid remixed and re-released for a new generation of teeny boppers.

At least in my defence I'm going to claim nostalgic reasons for listening to it, remembering a time when I could do the prodigy step without slipping a disk in my back. If you're just getting into it and it’s not a relapse of previous bad taste then your well and truly fuc.ked. Ring the men in white coats and check yourself in now.

scooter ahh the memories, actually still have a 2 unlimited cassete tape lying around somewhere. might knock johnny cash off and give get ready for this a bit of air time. :eek: I'm actually serious. Thanks alot OP, thought I had some kind of control over my recent retro dance revival. aparently not.

I listen to dance but refrained from the baseball cap at 45 degrees and honda civic peeping over the steering wheel

You need 50cc's of Ramones, or at least some Beethoven/Classical if you don't like lyrics!

I remember reading somewhere that dance appeals to our most primitive brain functions (amygdala?) due to the repetitive beats being equated to the heartbeat of our mothers while we were in the womb.. blah blah.. etc. Just don't get a burberry cap - and don't go blasting your dance music in the car, people laugh at that ****!

What strikes me odd about your post op is when you claim to be an adult and yet isnt it sorta, part of being an adult that you don't feel obliged to adhere to a preset social code of dress and way of life ruled by what type of music you prefer. Besides whatever is good to listen to is all that matters and therefore you can have a varied taste in music.

Well there's the source of the problem right there, you use bebo. Install Peerguardian and add www.bebo.com to the block list and bingo, problem solved.

Classic - a post about developing a likeing for dance music, saying that's a bad thing - and where does the knob of a mod move the thread to? Yep, you guessed it...

StephenInsane

I was going to say the same thing. Absolute piss-take that this was moved to the dance music forum

don't fight it, feel it!

Im not really feelin the whole "dance music=skanger" thing.

It really pisses me off the way dance music has a nacker reputation. I'd be the first to say that yes, a lot of scumbags listen to dance music, but generally its what I like to call 'nacker trance'. You rarely finid a nacker that is in to quality house music. Its usually more about the super high bpm's and copious drugs that they are into.

I also resent the honda civic comment, as I have now had 4 honda civic's - everyone knows they are fantastic cars. Would you consider this a nacker car?

first of all that crap on bebo isnt dance music, and if your listenin to it on your friends dance pages then i take it your friends are knackers yea?

if you listened to the proper dance music and went to dance nights, Ascii Disco, Electric City, Pogo etc. to name a few, you'd see the crowd, and you'll be hard pushed to find a scanger. you'd prob find more scaldy knackers listening to r&b at other clubs tbh.

and a good lot of people who admitadly listen to sh1te dance in their early years, change dance genres to the less commercial stuff, minimal techno, house or electro. and i'd be surprised if anyone here who calls dance music "knacker music" has actually listened to anything other than the horrible commercial productions

your right there mate,more scumbags are listening to r n b,and i curse r n b for takin the life out of dance music,the majority of people who like dance music nowadays are the real heads who are more interested in the music side of it than goin out to pose and just hang around clubs where the most people seem to be goin a lot of clubs that played good dance music for so long are now playin r n b and it disgusts me to see it

lol @ the new location of this thread.
OP prepare to get owned by the dance lovers.
You'll be a teckno junkie in no time.

Get out fool.

Real dance music as Vinny L says is to be found in some of the smaller underground clubs,cheesy euro trance and hard house do not fall into that category either,funky house/techno,breakbeat and drum n bass would not to mention of course proper old skool music,Bebo is for kids anyway no self respecting person into the dance scene would go on that kiddies website,myspace.com is a lot better.

Rollo Tamasi

class thread, especially since it was moved in here. Where are all the "dance music is for knackers" folk now eh?

OP you don't like dance music, you're becoming a knacker, big difference. How do i know this...because you referred to baseball caps and civics and DJ Skanger who in turn is the greatest knacker dj ever.

Exon

That monrose/dj rankin stuff isn't music at all!

I'm a huge fan of decent 'rave', I wouldn't be caught dead listening to any of tha t **** or hard house euphoria etc. Anyone like the asylum type stuff? I just got a few new records the other day.

Tar.Aldarion

I am liking some dance songs also OP, I fear for my 'taste'. It may only be one out of every hundred songs by the artist but..what if that grows???
Now where are my popping pills.
