Perhaps that was a bit of a generalization. There's good electronic music as there is bad rock music. Maybe it's cause that song was just such dribble.

But having the experience of both creating both electronic beats/tracks and recording instruments/a live band in studio in production school, the two are vastly different. Looping beats on a computer honestly requires minimal creativity or talent. It's a matter of clicking a beat on here, a cymbal there, and probably why so many people do it. An easy form of expression, but a lot of it is the work of the computer and the software. Some electronic artists are/could be incredibly talented, but it's not the best medium to display it.

I don't claim to know the solo to this or that song. Not really like that at all. But I write my own music. With real instruments, and real vocals.

And (personally) I find a lot of this music, *these days* , of which very little is "real", often is represented by people with more or less hobbies trying to make names for themselves, and less of an ability to actually demonstrate musical, god-given talent. It's a form of expression and art, absolutely, and so I respect it an extent. But the electronic world really seems to be trending this way. And as a musician, I think it's sad.

Take that how you wish. That's my stance.
