House is prolly a close 2nd to bein universal, although personally i havent seen a whole lot of house djs that just like blow my mind for a looong time  .
Thats just me ranting tho, im sure people will disagree, but i think im pretty close.
/also why the fuck does no one play/schedule acid house anymore? like ever... |
I disagree. I think House is the most universally accpeted form of electronic music. Drum & Bass is probably the most accepted "underground" form of all the non-mainstream styles, imo. I used to be more appreciative of Drum & Bass and enjoyed it very much, especially the older stuff. I guess part of the reason why I don't care for it anymore is because of the people I associate it with. I've met many many negative and stuck up people who had this Drum & Bass or die mentality (minus a select and special few who are opposite of that). But that's just my personal view of the sound. I appreciate and respect the fact that it's widely accepted and enjoyed by many many people, it's just not my thing. And no I'm not using my view to state that promoters book a lot of it, it's based on my observation of lineups and flyers.
