Re: Electronic vs Rock music (live)
I have problems at rock shows. I often don't know what to do with myself. There's a lot of standing around and staring at the band. People tend to stay where they are, there's no kinetic motion.

Whereas at a club / rave, part of the experience is the music and part of it is the crowd, mixing and intermingling.

I feel what you're saying about the "Liveness" of a rock band though and I'm waiting for that to start happening with electronic music. Mostly because I still love electronic sounds over acoustic. I love hearing sounds that make me go "what in the HELL was that" and then bouncing around the room and going out of my mind. I think very soon there will be people making electronic sounds and it being just as live as a rock show.
