I mean, full points for realising it's them
I took psychic damage reading some of those replies (that's 3 of them)
hopefully the OP there can find more places to find experience and feedback from than r/ssc, though
What's wrong with the weed advice? Seems reasonable enough to me.
The 2 page treatise on inequality which is primarily impotent faffing about from "first principles" definitely hurt me though
the psychoactive effects are quite subjective (and no one-size fits all), so I find the stated-as-fact/certainty of tone there a bit of a waste
(it is also a very common enough thing in many communities of people that partake in psychoactives, but, yeah)
(my emphasis)
that's your problem right there bud
As somebody who amateur DJ'ed (badly, very badly I must add, I'm not suddenly cool, more the reverse):
This is such a revealing thing. And the theorizing after it on why bars do this is even more revealing (he could have just asked). But yeah people don't go to bars for interesting new music, they come for the socializing, which is a lot easier if everybody can dance along with the music, or just nod along with it if it is more a socializing place. Sometimes there also isn't a plan but just 'we should get a DJ'.
The whole list is a collection of 'I have no empathy and I also never thought about asking people about these things' btw. I really hope this is a teenager.
I'd love to know what he thinks they should play.
music that is interesting, obvies! like, y'know, maybe algoraves, or maybe things that use classical elements. unfortunately the idle masses would never go for such things, the goddamn proles!
</character>lmao i knew it was going to be a samuel barber remix before clicking that link, well done
I kept with the "this has definitely seen mass consciousness" options to really hammer down the point ;D
I guess he doesn't realize that everyone has a different idea of what music is interesting, and the big nightclubs have to go for the lowest common denominator in order to keep up sales.
@Soyweiser @gerikson Plus the sets of "people who can DJ competently" and "people who are convinced that they should be allowed to DJ in public" do not, unfortunately, overlap completely.
Hey that one other metalhead at the bar really liked my dj style. Don't be a hater ;).
@gerikson @dgerard Drugs. It's drugs.
