  • This is a reddit repost from an account with no other activity, so anyone replying to ‘OP’ here is talking to a machine.

    To the point of the post, trance, edm, dubstep, and whatever the hell else you want to call it was always generated music. To make a song, you sample someone else’s music, cut it up, and put it over one of the stock backgrounds your keyboard gives you. Sure, there’s people doing more than that and actually making music, but you cannot deny that the process is as I describe.

    Ever been to an EDM show? Ya. One guy stands up there and ‘spins’ … meaning he plays pre-recorded music and acts like he’s performing. Kareoke is a more creative act than live EDM.

    For those of us who listen to music by humans, this whole complaint is amusing.
    I saw Elder and Blackwater Holy Light play last night. I’m about to go see Sleep and Pink Mountaintops play tonight. That’s music. Real people with real instruments doing real stuff on a real stage.















  • Wow. I really hate reposts and cross-posts, and I block the accounts that make them.
    I sort of thought I was alone in that, figured other people must enjoy that crap.
    I am amazed to see my exact viewpoint expressed here a couple hundred times over.

    As to the point the post makes, I’m new to moderation, and I read the post because that seemed like a subject I should review.
    The post looks like useless hand wringing to me.

    I don’t see anything worth concern with lemmy moderation.
    I’ve pissed off a couple mods in my time on lemmy and gotten banned. Every one of them was a community I have disagreements with, and its fine that we don’t talk.
    I don’t feel I have ever been treated unfairly. In fact, the only mod action I ever disagreed with on lemmy was reversed after I discussed it with him on YPTB.
