Maar weet iemand waarom Phrantic zo aan het janken is op alles de laatste tijd?
https://www.facebook.com/PhranticdjDie post over raw stages ook, hij heeft een punt, maar wat schiet je er als artiest mee op om je publiek af te gaan zeiken? Wie zegt dat die anabolenbilly's niet ook een phrantic plaat op z'n tijd kunnen waarderen
(zullen er toch vast wel een paar tussen zitten?)
As I stated already, this is satirical post, made on an objection which is pretty much real.
I didn't attach any negative or positive meaning to anything of it - in the end it's just something people get offended in their heads about. It is true that I'm not very active in the raw scene anymore, but that doesn't mean I can't make a funny objection about it. You see these kind of posts everywhere around the EDM scene, also very much liked ESPECIALLY by EDM listeners and there's not really negative feedback incoming. (Which by the way also was the case with the post I made. Out of a total of over 100 comments, there were 2-3 negative ones and I made the mistake to comment on them, so they are the top comments now.
) Basically stereotypes ARE funny. That's also the reason why jokes about blonde women are funny, jokes about men, jokes about nerds, jokes about dj's. It's a unserious joke, with a hint of reality in it - that's what makes it funny, and that's how memes work. There's nothing wrong with that. So why does this very little percentage of people have such a hard time having a little laugh on their own costs? Maybe because they define their self-esteem way too much about their music-listening behaviours? I don't know.

What damage I ask you? Actually I shouldn'tve posted anything. Those reactions just would've drowned in the big mass of positive reactions, now they stick out. I, having quite some insight about who shares this, can say that tons of raw listeners (the ones with actual humor), reposted the picture, shared it, liked it or commented something funny about it. Because most people either know people who apply to the stereotype or find some of their own behaviour in it. It even was reposted by someone in a raw hardstyle group where it gained almost 300 likes, a lot of fans replying things like "busted!" or "damn they got me" - all in a positive sense.
Altogether I think we shouldn't take hardstyle, or what anyone posts about it so seriously... It's just a music genre.
Besides that it's just some random picture I made when I was bored the other day, so is that even worth discussing?
About the other question I read, if I'm still on Theracords: Limitless, the "mother organisation" of Theracords handles my bookings, but me and the managment agreed that I won't be releasing on the label anymore, as it's focussing on the rawer kind of hardstyle at the moment.
Don't take life too serious people!
