BF2S Forums What are your top 5 most listened to songs?

my point exactly.

scotland is a furtive teenager's cum-sock scaled up to the national scale.

lol i know, i used to go to berlin every year. my ex-gf lived there. i've been to berghain 4 times but didn't queue.

nasty reputation? hardly. it's very inclusive. was sven nasty to you?

and yeah, sure, we don't have to do this, baby. i guess 'living in a country' doesn't make you an expert on a scene you don't know anything about. odd that!

lol what a prude.

no wonder they don’t let you in. homophobe. well that and your trash taste. do they confuse you for the italian tourists? no, no, honestly, i’m german, i was born here! look at my passport sven!

btw only suckers queue!!!

it looks horrendous. that sort of thing has never appealed.

there are lots of good clubs in new york now, lots that aren't 'getting dressed up to go drinking' meat markets, anyway.

any club is better than a giant festival. dance music was made for clubs, not rockstar-style festivals full of lights and giant stages. it just doesn't work. you need the energy and the focus of a dance floor. even on the level of acoustics, it just works way, way better.

berghain isn't all dark rooms and shit parties, either. p-bar closing is one of the most uplifting experiences you'll ever have in your life.

there are darker and weirder venues in berlin, /about blank for one.

That's true for a lot of live music, but electronica, especially techno, EDM, and house, were designed to be listened to in large rooms with very heavy bass. Extremely hard to replicate in a home setting. The balance in early albums (like even as late as the late 90s) is completely skewed to sounding best at high volume with tonnes of bass.

edit - Also, this is making me really miss my club days. Now I'm old, decrepit, and cranky after midnight.

Since when is seeing any musician live about the music? If you want sound quality lock yourself in a soundproof room with your expensive headphones. Live music is for the experience, and festivals are fucking awesome.

you've never been to a club with a proper sound-system. you cannot replicate it at home. not for under $100,000, anyway.

dance music is a physical/tactile thing as much as an auditory one. you feel half the audio spectrum.

some of the best-tuned clubs in the world even have dance floors with bass transducers inside them. fabric room 1, for one.

it's honestly not comparable. and standing near the PA array at a festival is not the same thing. that's a great way to get tinnitus.

also don't talk about 'the experience' lol. spending 12 hours inside a perfect club cocoon on MDMA >>> drinking overpriced beer from a plastic cup and peering over the heads of 6,000 people, listening out for the echo of the band to backsplash from the hill behind you.

this was a very good night.

Jay's idea of concert fun is pushing into and rubbing up against men in a giant mosh pit

FWIW, I like Slayer. I would never go to one of those concerts though.

There is something about hard style dancing the amuses me. Watching really high girls dance like this at a rave was funny.

This video was from 11 years ago. All of these people are now in their 30's.

that's more like the music i associate with the low countries. speed heads and truck drivers and people in tracksuits. it's why i laughed when larssen made out he had some sort of high-pedigree taste because he's 'spent time in the netherlands and belgium'. the most popular forms of electronic music there are like gabber techno and hardcore, full of skinheads slowly chewing off their own faces.

It's funny that that sort of music I guess has a Nazi element to it in Europe? American Nazis are deep into metal and punk. The music I linked is 100% associated with millennial and Gen Z urban culture.
