DJs aren't. Producers who DJ (99% of EDM artists) are.
>>66334394
>DJs aren't.
m8, don't be a lad - turntables are by definition a 'musical instrument', since they are an instrument used toproduce music
on top of that, they take no small meaure of skill to operate and produce something the audience appreciates
so some DJs are musicians
... some
>>66334394
>Producers
Over-entitled trustfund-having millennial detected. Why dont you write me a "EDM hip hop banger" kiddo
>>66335305
you're stupid too
>>66335392
If somebody creates any form of music it must follow that they are a musician. If it applies to older pop music like the Beatles, why shouldn't it apply to producers/DJs? The term is frankly not illustrious
>>66335392
Hi grandpa
>>66335488
I don't care. Any loser can be good at production (your laptop) and create a electronic dance song (club dance garbage)
Comeback to me when you're playing guitar with your best buds trying to make it on the road as a real musician
>>66335527
dumby
>>66335527
Fuck off. Musicians play musical instruments. DJs compile music and fuck with it. They don't create anything.
>>66335598
Exactly.

What is this fucking nonsense. This idiot is just destroying someone else's intellectual property . Is this what you support? Is this what you want happen? Is this what you call "music". Quit being a dumby.
>>66335736
the most pretentious jibber jabber ive ever read
>>66335769
You sound like my gran talking about when that new fangled rock n' roll came along.
Music died with big band music.
>>66335736
Yeah sure. Being a DJ is an art and is difficult to master. But it doesn't make one a musician. It requires no musical theory and just a technical skill.
>>66335803
Same with rock and all popular music.
>"I'm a musician"
>>66335803
Making music in general requires no music theory. I could literally bang my head on a piano and create music. I wouldn't find it enjoyable, and I don't think many people would, but it would be music
>>66334322
>>66335305
>Hitting play button = musician
Whew
>>66334322
They arent musicians but they do make money
>>66335799
Lel music died with the end of the 70s. (Aka when analog studio equipment was replaced with digital equipment and computers)
Plenty of music that was created in the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s would qualify as actual music that took skill and ability to create.

Dont you kids have some pretentious lecture at your hipster art school to attend to
>>66335884
yeah fuck technology!
quick, throw your computer and phone out the window
>>66335860
>still only playing keyboard
>>66335884
And electronic music requires no skill? Please, then, post a clyp of your best efforts
>>66335814
Classic rock music found its foundation in blues music. Both of which require great knowledge of musical theory, scales, ect. Don't talk shit about something you have zero knowledge of.
>know an old fuck who is a piano sales man
>every time I see him he bitches at me that he can't sell is over priced $10k literal table that only plays one type of sound
>mfw he actually says, "The sound is better because it's real!"
>>66335938
lol no they fucking don't
99% of rock is made by people with no clue about theory lmao
>>66335925
Electronic music itself isn't bad and unskilled. It just has the most untalented unskilled hacks making it.
>>66335925
I didn't say it doesn't take skill. It doesn't take musical talent and thus doesn't make a DJ a musician.
>>66335916
>doesn't know how to make guitar riffs with his midi
Let's be real here for a sec. The true musicians went on to digital because it's literally no boundaries and limitless. The only people butt mad about it are guitar shops and retards who can only handle plucking a few strings at a time
>>66335598
Those times are dead, people today want to go to clubs & festivals, kids wanna be DJs and make music like Skrillex, Avicii etc.
This EDM shit is never going away, its too poppy, has alot of pop-appeal, most if it already is electro-pop.
>ITT: butthurt faggots who play "real instruments"
I guess elseq 1-5 must have hit you guys hard with how obsolete it makes you guys look. Us programmers are the future of music. Maybe you guys should find a different hobby if you can't keep up with your shitty "technical musical skills".
>>66335971
>implying
>>66335938
A good bunch of the garage rock musicians that made rock music what it is now didn't know about the existence of blues music.
>>66335938
so you think guys like Muddy Waters or John Lee Hooker knew musical theory?
>>66335956
Notice I said classic rock. Rock after the 70s also went to shit. And yes I will agree that 99% of young rock artists today aren't real musicians either. Power chords ftw.
This entire thread is a cesspit of trolls feeding trolls
>>66335971
Does it take talent to make thing?
Does thing produce some sort of sound?
Ergo it's musical talent.
>>66336022
>Rock after the 70s also went to shit.
lol are you serious
>>66336022
>Power chords ftw
>he was just talking about how much music theory knowledge was needed to wrote rock music
>>66335970
Duuuuuude? Aphex twin, Autechre, Venetian Snares, Amon Tobin, Shpongle, Ott, Biosphere, Squarepusher, BOC, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Hux Flux, and I could go on forever. Electronica, if you look deep into it, is literally the most musically and technically superior genre of this era and the genre of future. You need to get out of that mindset. You have no idea how electronic music is made.

I graduated a few months ago. i now play dota all day while listening to rinse fm mixes.
>>66335983
But that's boring. I'd rather play my instruments, though I have nothing against synthesized instruments, but I play acoustic instruments and a synthesizer
Besides, the means of the instrumentals isn't what matters, it's the composition/arrangement/songwriting that does
Besides, it doesn't matter w
>>66336607
>Besides, it doesn't matter w
that's weird. I don't remember typing that
>>66335305
Being a DJ doesn't make you a turntableist though. I can appreciate both in the right setting as long as they are good at what they do.
>>66335864
And Beethoven wasn't a musician because he was just waving his arms.
(Yes, I get Beethoven could play actual instruments as well)
>>66334394
DJ Shadow exists.
>>66337618
Beethoven was a composer. He wrote music that was predominantly played by others.
