Why don't Americans like dance music?

we prefer black music

and black cocks

Americans as a rule don't really like music. They like the idea of being into music, and the aesthetics, but they're less interested into the actual experience. You have to market music to them as being "cool", not as being enjoyable. Dancing is already pretty embarrassing to most males, and there's not that much "coolness" to most dance acts. Which is why they have a reputation as music for gays ans women in the states.

They can understand English

To me it's just foreign howls

Dance music in america died when disco died. Well disco didnt really die, it went underground and became electronic. This is how we get house and techno and shit like that. So like post 70's in america electronic music is more of an underground thing. It was highly associated with gay people too.
So it was a pretty niche thing in america besides minor one hit wonders every now and then and having a cult following of faggots and ravers. Then around 2010 it went the most mainstream it ever has went in america when it was rebranded as EDM, watered down into generic oblivion, and marketed to dude bros who would have been listening to korn 10 years earlier.

I dont hate electronic music, but i prefer electronic music to how it was prior to 2010.

More frankie knuckles and aphex twin, less skrillex and marshmellow.

To me electronic music seems to have lost anything intresting about it and been warped into very boring corporate shlock

Like, i want to listen to the future sound of london and the ORB.

Not generic dude wearing a marshmellow head

The crowd was kinda small when I saw him in miami

Aphex twin the list goes on?

they can't make good dance music like the rest of the world so they prefer to hate it.

lol cope

It did become more niche. There was some early "modern dance music" crossover in the very early hip-hop/post-disco days (ie. Planet Rock), but for the most part the homegrown scenes that were derived from it were largely ignored.

Even on the Billboard Dance/Club Play chart, which got reports from clubs primarily in NYC, but around the nation, house music didn't really start to make a major impact until the very end of the 80s. Most of that stuff on that chart was just generic dance-pop or freestyle or hip-hop and a lot of the house that did chart was stuff coming over from Europe. Techno fared even worse as it had a much less overtly melodic sound.

Meanwhile, records that barely sold a hundred copies outside of Detroit, Chicago, and certain parts of NYC were going #1 in the UK and across Europe.

It's kind of odd actually, once the UK embraced house and techno and began fusing it with indie music, other European electronic styles, reggae/dub from Jamaican immigrants in London, British indie music, etc. and ended up with the rave scene around 1988 through 1992/3, those records were way more successful in American clubs, MTV, the radio, than any act from Detroit or Chicago was. And then there were the random corporate groomed Eurodance people, that watered down house music into really bland pop songs featuring random Scandanavian rappers that were #1 on Top 40 airplay for like months.

However, in major cities, particularly East Coast, there was definitely a flourishing club scene (and later UK-styled rave scene) throughout the post-disco era that grew exponentially throughout the 90s. Clubbing was a very hip thing to do by the end of the decade and even the whole "UK electronica/big beat" thing was making big waves in America (though uk garage was totally ignored save for a couple crossover hits). Many venues were shuttered, so clubbing was out, but within the music fan/snob/journo world, the underground remained. When EDM hit, everything changed.

Americans were angry (gangsta rap, nu metal, grunge) whereas UK and Europe embraced ecstasy and chin-up attitudes of looking for a happy escape (in music culture obviously).

electronic isn't music

Wokest opinion and saved in the notepad++

too fat to dance

>living in the past
Well done, a few black guys did something in the 80s, what about the last 35 years?

Chicago House and Detroit techno are still the bedrock of modern dance music. Guys like Theo Parrish are still releasing music today. Moodymann. The whole L.A. beat scene.. guys like the gaslamp killer and Flylo give away amazing dj sets that make the crowd go wild. I mean, in some ways the U.S. doesn't pick it up as much as other areas. not sure why. Different culture. Ofc. recently EDM has been coined (lol) and mainstream Americans are discovering dance music and parties.

good assessment rlly
