Went out with a few friends tonight after vball... Sushi first, then to a couple of clubs. I am a curmudgeon, or something, I think. The clubs this particular group goes to play contemporary "dance" (aka "grinding") music, so I spend a lot of time leaning against things, maybe tapping my finger or foot to the beat, waiting for something from the 80

that's too bad that the music you can't quite dance to. The odd time that I do manage to get out, I can manage to rock out a bit on the dance floor.

For awhile I figured you meant that you'd rather see live music, ie a half-decent singer-songwriter or original band. But then you mentioned dancing again.

I don't want to dwell in the 80s & early 90s, I want to rock out to Amerie or whatever is new, as well.

Yeah, it's not really about dwelling in the 80's or 90's though, although I do like dancing to that music... I just want a good song that has some emotion to it. Modern club dance music is just cold and robotic to me; it doesn't inspire me to move around at all =) I'm sure there are great contemporary songs that are dance-able, but I don't often hear them when I'm out clubbing with my friends. This is probably because we tend to go where the younger people are, for some reason :-/

yeah but yeah but... young people need to dance too! Surely there is cool music to dance to that doesn't have "keep on a rockin me bay beh" in its lyrics.

Yes, one would think so. Maybe I'll find it someday =)
