i'm in for the night, and may have grounded myself for the rest of the month. well, i had fun while finances allowed for it. may is only two weeks away.

that's not yet confirmed. i could work something out, still. i'm crafty.

last night was fun in principle, but i have to state something that has been said repeatedly: trap is fucking terrible. and, i'm going to actually explain why, which is what most people don't do. they just say trap is terrible and expect you to get to not doing it anymore. snappy.

the reason that trap is terrible is that you cannot dance to trap. the reason you cannot dance to trap is that it is very, very slow. you'd have to be on k or something.

i repeat: you cannot dance to trap. so, why are djs spinning this in dance clubs?

the reason is that it appeals to pothead dudes, the type that don't like to dance anyways. djs are pretty much all pothead dudes, so you get this echo chamber. and, if you look at the floor after a few minutes, you will confirm the obvious: the women disappear.

so, if you're running a club, this is the option in front of you: you play trap, and you get a sausage party. and then your club dies.

i didn't check the afterhours dj before i went out last night. i just assumed it would be techno. i mean, i don't have a lot of options in front of me, in terms of after hours parties in detroit (believe it or not). but, i actually should have gone to the other club on this night.

in the future, i'll have to check to ensure that trap djs aren't spinning before i go somewhere. but, i can't imagine this shit has much gas left in it's tank, either. it will no doubt go away soon...
