I actually mentioned this in my latest review! I didn't go into TOO much detail but in essence, electronic music was the first music I personally enjoyed and listened to on my own. I liked Dave Matthews, Counting Crows, David Gray and other stuff that my brother played but when I heard Hardcore for the first time I was sold and was the first genre I really wanted to discover and learn more about. I still love the first track I heard too

And yes. People really are ignorant when it comes to electronic music. They think it's all for clubs and when I say I listen to it all the time, almost exclusively, they look at me like I said I was a fan of Toby Keith. I don't try and really introduce people to it unless they seem interested because the stuff I like tends to warrant opinions like "eh it's kinda boring" and "does anything happen or is it like this the whole time" etc.
