And there's the key to those who want to move forward in performing. This is what, not only kids, but adults want to hear even. The more complex something is to listen to, the more it draws your mind from your everyday problems. A rather unorthodox form of music therapy.
I was watching a 2 hour show today consisting of dancers from different schools. The one thing I noticed......the dancing was aggressive and the music was more so. And the audience loved it.
I was DJ-ing one day and the kid came up to me and asked to hear this really awful contemporary song. I politely told him I would play it IF he really liked this song. He replied "No." I said "then why do you want to hear it?" He said (maturely)"this kind of music confuses us and gets our minds off our problems. Wow, was that a powerhouse answer coming from a 12 year old!
Look at this fellow SKRILLEX. He made a fortune playing this kind of stuff. For years he was a huge box office draw playing sold-out concerts around the world.
SKRILLEX The only requirement you need to play a machine like this is good rhythm because it's not about notes anymore.....it's about rhythm!
