Why do people listen to this crap? DANCE MUSIC/DUBSTEP
Picture the seen, its a Saturday night your getting ready for a big night out with the guy/girls you wanna get really hyped up for whats to come. So you drink a few drinks, you choose your outfit, brush up on you chat up lines, practice them in the mirror with your most seductive expression (“Are you from Tennessee? because you’re the only ten I see.”) Pulling gear? check! inappropriate cringey lines at ready? check!
So with all that out of the way you think to yourself ‘Hmmm I wanna really get in the mood for tonight.’ So you put on some dance music e.g Avici or Disclosure ect. Now whats wrong with that? Nothing.
Now picture this scene, you’re on your way to work and you’re about to put the radio on to try to block out the mundane sounds of the angry commuters, you want to hear some music to put you at ease, or something to wake you up. Take your pic.
You flick on your default radio station in hope they’ll be playing what you want perhaps some catchy pop music or maybe you’re one of the few people in the modern world that wants to listen to people with actual talent. (Not that the radio usually lets you do that.) I think R.E.M sums it up well {http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpJOR9ew9f4}
So you press the ‘radio on’ button and you get one of these brain numbing ‘songs’ (I use that term loosely)

‘NOOOOOOO!’ You scream in agony and ponder once again ‘Why do people want to listen to this stuff at random points throughout the day? surely this music is supposed to be played in clubs or before going out? I wish I understood why people want to listen to this stuff while sat in the car or walking home from work, it makes no sense!!!!’
Or perhaps you’re one of the people that likes to listen to this music right through your day. If so I can not understand why. I mean I totally get it if you’re in a club or something but otherwise my mind is completely boggled.
I’m not he biggest fan of pop music but occasionally I do hear a pop song I like, and I can see why people want to listen to pop music throughout there day. However with dance music, no idea. It makes me adopt this expression.
followed by this thought process.
Ending with this dialogue
Maybe its some strange government conspiracy making us listen to this stuff. Or maybe I’m missing the point. All I know is I hate the stuff!
