Everybody Was Euro-Dancing

[polar_action]

This did make me smile...

"Everybody knew Eurodance was a plague. And everybody danced along anyway.

Listen to a mix of some of the most abominable, yet perversely seducing, electronic gems from the early to mid-90s:"

Fuck me, what an awful mix. Or rather, im sure the mixing from track to track is impeccable. But i'd rather drink paint than listen to this. I lived through this once and the scars are only just healing. This has no ironic / kitsch value for me. Just pain. If this is a cry for help you just have to say, and we'll send you some decent music.

Call me a music snob if you like but you have to draw the line somewhere.

Although I find the music awful, I grew up with it so this mix is pure nostalgia. But I can't listen to it more than once, and I skip regularly :P

Nooooooeeeeesssssss! You, you, you... hater! The "SS" on his jacket even stood for .

Sorry, nothing to do with Hitler. Nothing to do with nostalgia. This brainless drivel was awful then and it still is. Age doesnt always improve things, and this is a fine example of that.

You can't polish a turd.

I praise your nerves and ears for having the strength to listen to this rubbish in order that other masochistic fools can also indulge in self hurt.

I do see merit in the videos for these songs because they are so bad, but only when you play other music instead of the original tracks over the top. Then you can indulge in nostalgia for bad music without having yours ears bleed.

age certainly hasn't improved you, you miserable old twat

Haha, he said turd.

But isn't nostalgia always afflicted with self-hurt? *interrogative philosopher's stare*

I feel I must emphasise that I really do like some of the tunes. But then, they fell into my period of the awakening of a musical interest, and I did like them back in the day. So, for me, it is nostalgia with positive connotations.

I guess I'm a backward-looking turd polisher now.

btw what did you use to make this mix and where did you get the tracks?
a technical thing: the sound is quite glitchy in places (probably a timestretching artifact) which makes it kind of annoying to listen to to be quite honest.
