How the heck can we get some good press for the electronic dance music scene?
What with the negative publicity given to raves, most people automatically assume that if we like electronic music, we must be junkies or freaks or something, and dismiss us out of hand.
I'd like to know who/how to contact to drum up some good press- print, tv, web, whatever.
You don't necessarily have to respond in the forum. You could PM me or send an email. Whatever you feel is appropriate.
It just really disappoints me that all the media hands out about the edm scene is negative. I've been into the 'scene' for 7-8 years now, and true, I've met some bad people, but I've also met some of the kindest, most charitable, decent people in my life. |
First off press for the EDM scene is hard to come by. It is not mainstream and the majority of people are to put it mildly aren't inerested. This is why MTV plays 50 cent and The Killers. It is the music that the masses requests. In terms of negative exposure, considering we already discussed that it's not something "the masses" so much are interested in learning about its the stories of dismay that sell ad space. And the media is a business. If Mayor Campbell made improvements on the schools and was able to build a new playground with funds that didn't cost the tax payers a dime or had a high percentage of college graduates from Cleveland public schools it would not make headline news because the masses want to know about The Superintendent that embezzled city funds. Or about the girl that was raped at Spy nightclub.
