And that's why I appreciate ya'll, that's why I've stuck around since the minors, But still DGAF about corp. or country :) @DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid tweeted on Aug 19, 2014 22:31

@smitchthekid we respect that, and thank you for sticking around. doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 22:33

Point is that your content is your gospel, and if you wanna spend timecomparing EDM to country you have missed every point.@DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid tweeted on Aug 19, 2014 22:06

@smitchthekid that's a point we disagree on. Avoiding things like what happens after an artist pops is not how we've done it. doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 22:07

@smitchthekid and if there is a way we can look at the EDM scene in a different lens, we will do so. like we always have,. doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 22:08

Country isn't a bubble, that's the difference. @DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid tweeted on Aug 19, 2014 22:03

@smitchthekid ...which is part of our point, no? doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 22:03

Electronic music is about pushing beyond constraints, boundaries and dogma. They are learning from us.Not the other wayrnd @DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid tweeted on Aug 19, 2014 21:55

@smitchthekid and they take what they learn and start monetizing. that's what the entire EDM craze has been about. doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:56

Because its not a competition, unless your competing for cash.its about doing what you love, not a dick swinging contest. @DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid tweeted on Aug 19, 2014 21:26

@smitchthekid you think the corporations buying into EDM aren't looking to compete, both with EDM and other genres? doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:29

Since were on questions we both knwtheanswerto. Should we just stop being innovative, and start sucking corp. dick? @DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:34

Corporate follows the creators, not the other way around. While they out managing the ideas, we'll be creating them. @DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:36

@smitchthekid in some cases, that's true. in others, things hit at the right time for that side of the market. Avicii's 2013, for example. doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:37

@smitchthekid Avicii got a LOT of flack for his Ultra performance, then ended up having a good year wiht the same material. doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:37

Remember when country wasn't cool/popular? No.Because it was never about being cool, or popular, or corporate. @DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:46

Country music is about a lifestyle.Its about a way of living. That is what makes it great. it represents the people,truely.@DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:47

@smitchthekid and some would argue that edm is becoming the same thing. doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:49

@smitchthekid not at all. but does that mean we should stop examining one side of the scene? doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:36

did we give a shit about country when we started these circles in 200 cap venues that created the mainstream? @DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid tweeted on Aug 19, 2014 21:22

@smitchthekid to be honest, 200-cap venues aren't what we're talking about in this article. hence the emphasis on "American mainstream." doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:24

@smitchthekid why avoid a bigger discussion b/c "it's not underground?" or vice versa? doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:25

Without significant changes, country music will continue to murder EDM in the American mainstream. t.co/m1CHBgA6cE doandroidsdance tweeted on Aug 19, 2014 20:51

Have y'all lost your fucking mind? Is it really all about the money, stats, and glory? @DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:00

You think we are creating music, so you guys can say its not as big as country, and that something needs to change? @DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:01

@smitchthekid "all about?" Not at all. We've never ignored how the mainstream has reacted (and invested in) EDM, though. doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:02

I just can't even believe you just took it to the level of 'we should be more like country, because country is better." @DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:03

I don't know what you kids from jersey know about country, but my entire family is from farm country. @DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:05

People listen to country, because its the only damn thing you get on the radio. @DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:05

We create and listen to "edm, if you must" because we chose to. @DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:06

@smitchthekid country's gotten much bigger than "the places where its the only thing on the radio," though. especially int he last year. doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:07

@smitchthekid we're comparing the current rise of country to the recent rise of EDM, and how one is beating the other in the mainstream. doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:08

@smitchthekid to say that means we ONLY look at stats and figures doesn't even hold up based on how the site operates. doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:08

But ultimatley that is what this is about, and that is what your stake is in. That's how you operate. Nothing againtstit.@DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:10

But if you think people who the love the music on either side really give a shit, I think that's whre u lost it. @DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:11

@smitchthekid and yet whenever we examine how SFX operates or the impending SoundCloud takeover, people respond. doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:14

We hve personal ties to SFX and Soundcloud. How many of the people that read your site are ctchin the next Kenny Ches. Set?@DoAndroidsDance smitchthekid replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:19

@smitchthekid Avicii spent most of last year working country into his music, and gained success off of it. doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:23

@smitchthekid there's also been a lot of talk about Keith Urban concerts mirroring the ODs and debauchery many say are only at EDM shows doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:23

@smitchthekid it's much more relative than you might think. and to walk around with blinders on seems crazy. doandroidsdance replied on Aug 19, 2014 21:23
