Ok I feel entitled to comment on Violeta's video, since I also appear there a couple of times
On the high average age at Dutch trance parties: of course it's my fault! My presence is enough to raise it by a couple of years!
On the acceptance of the various music styles: of course people should not say they dislike what they do not know (please everybody use the term "dislike" and not "hate"). However:
So the situation is really much more complex... Maybe the old Latins were right in saying "de gustibus non est disputandum" (tastes must not be discussed)!
- for sure people often associate their life experience with music: if everybody hugs me at Trance parties and I get no attention while listening to Techno, I wll like Trance more than Techno
- it is my personal opinion that there is a physical component as well, something like "the higher your metabolism, the higher the BPMs"
- The same person in different situations may like different music, tastes are not carved in stone even for the die-hards.
- One thing is tastes, the other is expectations. If I expect an uplifting set but I get something else, I will be disappointed, no matter the quality of this "something else". Then I will mentally associate the new sounds with my feeling of disappointment, and then I will not like that kind of music. Had I first listened to the same tracks in a different context, I might have become a fan of the new style.
Just found & read your post. You put several interesting things here raff !
