32.Another Year, Another Party
®️
The year 2024 is just a few weeks away. And in what kind of fuck are we going to, this time?
One thing is for sure - electronic music events, all kinds of genres and subgenres.
This year was the first whole year of partying and socializing without any restrictions. By the first half of 2022, the clubs and bigger events and gatherings have had their green light for reopening and since then, the music industry is trying to get back in full force. Clubs and businesses that survived all the pandemic lockdowns are adapting to the changing market conditions but also to other major changes on the scene and in its community.
In previous posts we discussed some of those changes. To recollect your memory or take a second read - some of them 👇👇👇
11.BPM – Game Gone Wrong
17.BANGER DJ
21.HARD
22.BREAK
26.Back to Rave
I noticed more and more articles mentioning and discussing things that have changed. It is also something that's been talked about at house parties, on afters... I mean, it's nothing new that older generations sometimes can't fully understand the new ones, especially when there's a shifting of trends going on. But the time of lockdown and post-lockdown changed the scene so drastically like never before. Then overnight clubs were open again, but the scenery, atmosphere, sound were nothing like when we "closed" those clubs only a few years prior. To be honest I think these topics are gonna stay around longer.
-We're just trying to cope with crazy mainstreamization.-
This just reminded me of this one comment I saw; comparing this new era of Techno to the EDM (EDM= embarrassing dance music now rebranded to ETM =embarrassing Techno music), when it boomed commercially.
