Just looking at a link found on another website, there are a couple of people who seem to love dance music with the same passion as some like to hate it. Check out the amount of electronic material here.. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gamehunters/post/2009/10/track-list-for-dj-hero-unveiled/1 What makes certain people love our kind of music? I can't imagine some people loving.. say, country and opera with such a passion...

Why Do People Love Dance Music?
- Thread starter Wildstyle K
- Start date
I'm actually planning on going somewhere with this topic, but not now since it's already after 3:31 am and I may not finish anytime soon if I dare start now.
Has anyone ever noticed that people actually really like dance music? They may hate the stereotyped sound or some of the stereotypes that go along with the music, but for the most part, uptempo music is truly loved more than people really believe, regardless of what people say about it verbally.
Understanding what people REALLY think and feel about dance music on a deeper level and why, is..... well, somewhat similar to understanding the thought process of women and how a woman's mind is programmed to work when it comes to the laws of attraction. In other words, It's very difficult. I'll explain all of this, in addition to how understanding something like this can GREATLY help the entire dance music community.
Yes, we have many artists out there flirting with or using the sound, but that's because they are simply just following trends or trying something new off of ideas they heard from someone else. Out of all people using the sound today, I bet only 15-20% of them actually know or think about what elements actually draw people to or propel them away from a certain style of dance, and later if I have time or feel like it, I'll explain all of this in depth. Anyone can just play dance music, but there are certain things that "work or don't work" with people who claim to "hate techno", or say they dislike dance music.
To Be Continued.....

Why do some people love a juicy steak while others won't touch meat?
Why do some love NASCAR and others love hockey?
Thousands of why's? Human nature.

As a dance music fan for over 30 years, it has been the same reasons for me.
1. The music is positive.
2. The music makes you feel good.
3. You can really move to the sounds....not that you can't with other genres, but the intensity and energy level of dance music really draws you out to want to pulsate around.
4. It brings people together, regardless of race, religion, creed, sex, sexual preference, etc.
I have more reasons...but these cover it for me on a general level.

It looks as if I might not getting deep into this any time soon because I don't really want to spend the amount of time I will spend on it, so just wanted to let that be known now just in case someone was really curious in regards to what I was going to say.
As far as the 4 reasons, I agree with those, but you must also remember while those are your 4 main reasons off the top of your head, these same reasons wont be what attracts other people, or may not even be enough to convince someone to hear or get into the sound.
It's kind of like when many men/women say they like certain things about the opposite sex, most of it being generally the same things, yet there are thousands of woman out there that possess those qualities and still we manage to hear "I just can't find the right one". Why? Because there is a much deeper level that exists that most people don't acknowledge.
Have you ever noticed how many times you try to enforce a dance music set (or song) on a large crowd only to get a bad reaction or a few complaints about techno, but when you're one on one with a person saying "check this out", it's almost always "that's cool" 100% of the time? That's because there is a deeper, psychological level that's having an effect here. The trick is to discover what is causing this to happen and why, magnify it, then redirect it outwardly, towards a large group of people or whoever you're trying to introduce the sound to, in such a way that you get that same result from a majority of the crowd that you get one on one, regardless of what tool(s) you are using to deliver the sound to them. The way to do this does exist, but figuring out how to do it is where it gets difficult.
Yes, most people will have different reasons for liking / disliking a variety of things, but as humans, we are really more alike on a deeper level than we are different, and this could work when it comes to psychologically finding out how dance music works with people. Trends and phases are good, but that only works temporarily, on a superficial level (similar to only liking someone based on physical appearance or trying to be someone you're not to attract somebody). The goal here is to make sure this dance phase does not end up being just a temporary fluke that just happened to happen and quickly comes to an end, leaving us to get nothing out of it....
