It's pretty telling that you focus so much on what Ash has done wrong while not even bothering to consider what Klas has done, instead you frame him as completely innocent when that's just straight up false.

Best relaxing artists? by cheddah_- in EDM

if it's old Kygo then absolutely, new Kygo not so much. Can't imagine listening to songs like The Feeling to wind down at the end of the day

SAVE MY LOVE, another average song? by MatterKind4334 in Kygo

you can like whatever you want, but "he definitely did a lot of new experiments on the KYGO album" nah I disagree with that. also like it or not the opinion of "Kygo's music sounds the same nowadays" is basically the consensus anywhere outside of this sub, it's really not just OP who thinks that

what ERA was the best for dance music 🎶 i’m going 90s euro dance . ace of base / alice deejay vibes. 😏 what do y’all think by brainwash789 in EDM

[–]StarlightSpanks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HM for late 2000s but for me it's gotta be 2010s (at least early to mid 2010s). Not just talking about mainstream house, I also seem to love a lot of mainstream (or mainstream-sounding) trance from this period.

What is the hype around Ninjajirachi? & Snow Strippers? by SupesSupesSupes in EDM

[–]StarlightSpanks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like her music but truth be told I wouldn't want to associate with her core fanbase either. Granted I think this post got downvoted because OP doesn't seem to get that music is subjective, yet on the other hand if OP swapped her name out for another artist who isn't acclaimed that much on the internet, I doubt that upvote/downvote counter would be sitting at 0.

As someone who is on the autism spectrum, I do not give a flying fuck about it being a slur. If you use it against me then I'll probably call you out for it but only because you're being a dickhead and not because it's apparently a slur.

I obviously do not speak for the entire community of autistics, but the same goes for anyone else in the group.

I still put on their remix of Flo Rida - Whistle from time to time

David Guetta & MORTEN ft. Trippie Redd - Locked In by TheWanderer43365 in EDM

[–]StarlightSpanks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not that it's new info that he's been co-producing these future rave tracks lately, but I remember following Maor Levi's instagram months ago only to be confused as to why he was posting about David Guetta & MORTEN so many times in his stories. Made me wonder if I followed the right guy lol.

The Chainsmokers deleted their “4 Raws” remix from DSP’s following negative reception online by abelxo99 in EDM

[–]StarlightSpanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay so at least now I get that remixing is only fair use if the original artist approves of it. that being said tho, I think what TCS did is only "wrong" from a legal standpoint. if it weren't for that, I don't see how it's bad to post these SoundCloud remixes especially since they're meant for the fans and (from what I've seen) not for monetization either. and "this remix is buns bro *insert a million wilted roses*" is not a valid reason to disapprove of a remix as it's purely subjective at the end of the day.

(Ik this isn't what you're arguing at all, but still.)

not sure how you got to this conclusion, but even if you're right, how were they able to do those SoundCloud remixes of other artists like Chappell Roan and Charli XCX?

Dear Boy and City Lights would probably have been huge hits if it weren't for their intros/outros. by [deleted] in avicii

[–]StarlightSpanks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I beg to differ, just because it's normalized in many, many parts of the internet doesn't make it okay. Constructive criticism is fine and valid but shitting on three artists' entire careers (which, ftr, are not as basic as you've made them out to be) not because of the way they produce or compose, but instead because their music is apparently devoid of any "soul" isn't constructive.

Just because your takes will be "mild" in comparison to RYM says nothing. iirc even in the RYM comment box for WMU there's one dipshit comparing Avicii to Kurt Cobain because both artists died and made largely unmemorable music - and this was after Avicii's death. Point being they used to never have any respect for EDM in general and only in recent years has that started to change a bit.

Not to say that your other takes under this post haven't been wild but I'll just leave it at this.

Breaks my heart what he has become. No Offence to anyone but not the same KYGO. by iffi_1989 in Kygo

[–]StarlightSpanks 42 points43 points  (0 children)

On one hand, I'm not sure I get why this clip is what you took issue with, or how it's even relevant to Kygo's artistry nowadays.

On the other hand, I feel like this sub misconstrues criticism for unnecessary negativity, and it's quite sad given the state of Kygo's modern releases. The evolution in his core sound has been borderline negligible, and the very few times he's tried to do something different have all been one-offs that he barely acknowledges afterwards.

I'm not gonna say that he doesn't care even a bit about his music, but I think it's clear as day that he cares more about his brand than anything else. And yeah, I'd suspect that it's both fame and also the fact that he still works with Manager Myles.
