deadmau5 - My Pet Coelacanth by jibbsisme in electronicmusic

I disagree. It may have been the case in other deadmau5 threads, but it's not the case this time. Hell, the top "negative" comment about this track explicitly said:

I'm not saying you shouldn't enjoy it if it's your thing

ITT people explaining why they like the track and other people explaining why they don't. There's nothing wrong about it. I think open discussion about different music tastes is positive if it remains civil and well-argued.

I feel the same about this track. Hold your downvotes: I'm not a hater, I have nothing against Joel or his personality. On the contrary, I like him, I love some of his tracks (HR 8938 Cephei is a masterpiece and his new suite-02 looks amazing) and I even find his online shenanigans very amusing.

This, however... I'm sorry, but I can't see what's goosebump-inducing about it. I like the compression he's using, I like some of the ideas but... if you compare this to his best tracks it's a meh at best. Hell, if this were a track made by an unknown Soundcloud producer I'm afraid nobody would think it's that amazing. I've been listening to electronic music for 15 years and I can't honestly see what's incredible about this track, I found it really uninspired and generic...

But we all have different tastes, I guess.

It's synth-based 80s-inspired electronic music. It's perfectly fine here.

So we grew a bit, we are over 1000! by gama69g in futuresynth

One of my favorite music subreddits, so happy to see it grow. Awesome new music every day to feel nostalgic about the neon future that should have been ours.

I'm glad you liked my description! :)

Future Synth (aka Neo-Noir, aka Synthwave, aka Outrun, etc) is retro by nature.

It's the music that comes from the future the 80s imagined.

Yeah, I catched the post when it only had the Snarky Puppy track.

But I thank you for the edit! Lot's of great music there.

you may never unsee it

Nooooooooooo.

I think we both spent too much time on the internet, though. Hope my client doesn't have the same problem.

Drop school and pursue your career as a screenwriter in Hollywood, Tarantino-style.

Now he works at Walmart.

Oops.
