hi all
as a girl who is (admittedly) completely obsessed with electronic music,
i must agree with nate here. more girls need to get into this
stuff...open their minds to it more...or come out of the closet about
it.
unfortunately, it seems that a lot of the girls i know only like house
music becuase it's what they mostly hear/dance to at the parties.
likewise, many girls seem to only like the music because they think the
dj's a hotty...which is completely and totally pathetic and they're
totally missing the point. i'm not saying this is the case for all
women, 'cause i know there are more like me out there...it just seems
like it's a lot easier to get a guy to listen to a little Ae or BoC than
my girl friends.
it seems to me that a lot of this industry has a strong male
presence/visibility, whereas i just don't hear a lot about women
producers, DJs, etc. maybe that's part of it? I also know that i had a
really difficult time "breaking in" to this scene, though i don't think
that's necessarily a "woman thing"...guess i'm just kind of thinking
aloud here.
dunno...any other thoughts?
