Deadmau5 Going Disney??

Deadmau5 to sell out to disney?

        So today I came across this post stating that electronic musician Deadmau5 was rumored to be selling his image and name to Disney. Now personally I find this to be rather amusing. And personally I hope that this never happens for the sake of all electronic music. Now here below is a image still I took after I noticed in the feed is a comment from what would seem to be Deadmau5 himself. And I'm going to assume that it is (despite the loads and loads of fake accounts and information sources on the internet these days).
    
     As far as the entire "rave culture" being the new sound of music, because all of business corporeal america feels the need to jump the band wagon of whats good and popular and milk it till its dry and dead, this annoys me. This is do for my enjoyment of the genre. And I appreciate musicians such as Deadmau5 and Shrillex for making the genre more spread out I can't help but hate the fact that society has twisted what the scene behind the music is. And as tolerant as I am of music genres and respect musicians choices, because of course without one genre you can't have another, I am beginning to hate the fact that this culture that use to be "underground" is starting to show up in "mainstream" music such as, for example, Britney Spears incorporating Dubstep into her sound.
    Don't get me wrong a few of these songs of hers such as "End of the world" are actually pretty good and I enjoy listening to. Where as other songs of hers such as "Hold it against me" bother the living hell out of me. And the idea of Deadmau5 selling his image to Disney, being true or not, bothers me. The last thing I want is to start seeing the "rave scene" become even younger then it already is. Seeing 15-17 year olds run around half naked acting like moronic sluts because something thats popular is playing bothers me enough already.
    And being a aunt and god mother of kids in the age group of 1-12 makes this idea even harder to swallow. So heres to the hope of this all just being a complete load of crap because I for one think disney should stick to its preset age demographic and princess movies. 


please note I in no way shape or form state that I personally find this to be a true. I don't agree that this is to happen. This is simply my idea on the fact and what I feel would come if it were to actually happen. Thank you!


Now I wanna hear all of your ideas about the subject and things that you may of hear on the subject!

Hello and welcome/First new topic


Hello and welcome!
To start off and get us better acquainted my name is Stitches. I have decided to redo my entire blog and use it to share Ideas, Links, Events and other information I feel is worth sharing with you. I also have a youtube page for sharing information, random ideas, and music of local artists and DJ's I feel worthy of subscribers :)

With that being said I do hope that everyone who comes across this blog and future posts to come will follow and comment. As I don't encourage to censer ones opinions  I DO ask that you keep negativity to yourself. By negativity I mean any form of racism or discrimination that is deemed unnecessary in any situation.

For our first official topic post....
So a friend of mine showed me this complete abomination of a artical written about what a raver and raves are in which you can read here.

 I personally have never laughed so hard at these descriptions of  musicians and the sub-catigories for the individuals to attend these electronic music events. And yes I to attend these events myself. That being said is one of the reasons this false advertisement of the raver life made me laugh so hard.

Now you cant be to surprised, I mean what else are we to expect from a christian background site that has writers who have never experienced the things in which they falsely fill parents heads about? Granted yes there will be those groups of individuals who mess it up for the rest with drugs and lude behavior. HOWEVER this is not every raver you meet. And every rave I have ever attended in my neck of the woods has had on call officers at the event from door open-close.
And I have never been at a event that had a on call ambulance EVER which makes me laugh. Every event is located in a legit and legal venue. Though occasionally in some areas that may not be the case every time. Which is why if there isn't a flier with a venue in which is legally obtained you wont find me there.

These are the things that make me simply have to say to you all, if you want to inform someone about something know what your talking about. If you don't go and experience something how can you take it upon yourself to inform others when you yourself are in the dark? These parties have come a long way since they started off. And alot of people, like myself, struggle to help change others opinions of what they think of when they hear the word Rave so please don't feed into the rubbish and stereotypical idea that is often the first thing that comes to your average individuals mind. Thank you!

Now I'm curious as to all of you'r views and opinions on this artical and how people view this subject all together.
