- a4isms 4y agoWhen I was first going to nightclubs, Disco and Funk were counter-cultures. Disco was hated by the establishment because it was associated with homosexuality at a time when the Toronto police were conducting bath house raids and arresting bookstores for carrying queer literature. Funk was, as one documentary put it, "An unapologetic celebration of blackness." Today I can listen to Disco and Funk any time I want, all I have to do is push a shopping cart around the supermarket. And yes, I turned 60 this year.

- astrange 4y agoMost music is extremely repetitive; it's not like they usually play prog rock for grocery store BGM. (Well, recently I was in a Whole Foods and they played Once in a Lifetime, which is at least a little different…)
- oblio 4y agoRepetitive and awfully loud, at least in clubs. Few people mind repetitive low volume music.
- Loocid 4y agoEDM is an extremely diverse genre.
- oblio 4y agoDo you have some links? The stuff I've heard is the stuff they blast in night clubs and all I remember was boom - boom - boom - boom for minutes on end.
