Lady GaGa. Kylie Minogue. Jamiroquai. Cascada. Tiesto. ABBA. I really like all these groups and artists because I really like dance music. I like the beat, the electronic production and the general upbeat attitude. However, as much as I like dance music, I really can’t stand the club scene, like at all.
I just got back from Las Vegas, which has shed the family friendly persona it created in the 90s and embraced its hedonistic, sex-driven persona. This current persona has been partially built on the burgeoning club scene. Clubs like Pure, LAX, Tryst and Jet have become the places to be in Vegas. And while I love Vegas as much as anyone I know, I can’t understand the fascination with the club scene and culture; it has never appealed to me.
In spite of this complete lack of a desire to go to a club, I have a strong desire to listen to music played inside of clubs. There’s nothing better than cruising around town on a summer day, windows down, loudly playing something with a good beat. Dance music is intended to be played in a club, while people dance or wait to enter the club. Like an animal that thrives outside of its natural environment, though, dance music has found a home on my iPod and in my truck. I can’t explain it. I just know that Lady GaGa while I’m driving makes me happy. The thought of Lady GaGa in a club makes me sick to my stomach.
How do you feel about dance music outside of a club?

I love listening to dance music outside of a club. So much that I throw my hands up in the sky sometimes, sayin AY-OH, gotta lettt go.
ReplyDeleteOn a more serious note, I listen to it in my car all the time too Scott, and I'm not big on the club scene either, although with a group of friends, it can be major feel-good moment just singing, dancing and being silly to song's like taio kruz's dynamite.
