guys, i am an electronic dance music kind of guy, listening to anything produced electronically for the sole purpose of dancing between 120bpm and 180bpm ....
and i have noticed a trend, some genres of music seem to proliferate in the physical location where i live, on the internet it seems that a completely different set of genres dominate the scene... i would explain this in terms of the quality of the sound equipment used in the local clubs (generally quite bad), vs desktop audio solutions of music lovers online (generally quite good) ... on my physical location, the music tends to be simple, dirty and electro with an in-your-face feel, whereas online the music is deeper, more melodic, complicated and progressive
which brings me to the point im trying to make, what in your experience has been the genre or subgenre of music most tolerant of the quality of your sound equipment, and conversely which has been the least... did you also find that the music has evolved to be this way out of necessity? for example, on my yet-to-be-burnt-in pair of ultrasone 750's, most of the music on my computer sound horrible yet there are some tracks , the ones which get played at my physical location, which actually sound better somehow in the current state of my setup, it makes me think that they have been produced to bypass certain limitations which are fundemental to all sound equipment, its just that good sound equipment would have higher limits than their inferior counterparts
