This NRG fad - when oh when will it die

After going to System shit (6) on the weekend and spending a majority of my time in the DnB room, I have to agree with you all: NRG must die!!
------------------
You startin' shit??
 
*bump* This thread should be preserved forever. ;)
But I notice that nobody has provided a conclusive bracket to cover exactly what is meant by the blanket term "NRG". Ministry of Sound (who else) have confused the issue no end with naming their Hard Trance compilations "Hard NRG". But what else would you expect from the corporation that has raped dance music like no other? ;)
To me, NRG is a very specific style of music, as played by DJ Mook and DJ Morgan. Their stuff can be found at www.hardnrg.com , along with UK Hard House (They are similar but not the same) NRG is usually more bassy, and has a more bouncey sound. UK Hard is characterised by quite silly high end samples, a classic UK Hard track would be Lisa Lashes - Unbelievable. I can't think of any classic NRG tracks offhand. It's usual for most NRG DJ's to also play UK Hard in their sets, as is the reverse.
Now, what a lot of people are refering to here under the blanket term "NRG" is actually Hard Trance. Now Hard Trance is actually quite a nice genre, but has a 'sameishness' to it. Although I'll be the first to admit that many of the anthems get me moving no matter what. And a word of advice. If it's a DJ Scot Project remix (or sounds similar), then it's Hard Trance! not NRG! Classic tracks include Beam vs Cyrus - Thunder In Paradise, Cosmic Gate - Exploration of space, and anything Scot Project has remixed.
Now, go forth and decide exactly what the fuck you hate, and hate it. Also, shut the fuck up, becuase I want to listen to my NRG and Hard Trance. ;)
-plaz out-
 
i know what i hate and its NRG... when i say NRG is say hi-NRG , Oxford st. DCM style NRG.. also the tin rib style hoover and horns shit... but now this is mixed up with power trance etc so it falls into the same bracket.. i hear NRG at sublime, all that cheesy hard music, that makes gurners go mental
 
meh. I like all forms of electronica, but I love NRG. I like my pizza's cheesey, and my music even cheesier. More happy hardcore I say.
How can you go wrong with music that makes you bounce like an idiot, with a huge grin on your face.
Sorry if you're too l337 to have a good time :)
 
Hmmm not everyoe likes the same things. Thats why the world is so diverse. If we all listend to the same thing then it would get boring.
Personally i dont mind nrg, i use to live @ one world sport and Rogues basically. But im over it now..
Dj aligator project makes some mad tracks.
 
stylin: hi-nrg and nu-nrg are not the same thing and sound completly diffrent. Hi-nrg sounds similiar to italian house and was big in the early 90's it sounds nothing like the stuff tinrib and karim play today.
 
as an ex old sublimer (pitt street that is), turned oxford streeter (only cos i hated home) turned back to subbies (wot can i say). basically i got sick of the competition that goes with anywhere playing hi nrg to make me go to the home club all last year. at least there i can dance how i like in comfortable clothes and shoes (God bless the person who invented cargo pants and trainers and yes im female) without people staring at me like wot the fuck do u think your doing?? ive got a nice figure, which i no doubt show off at those places, but thats all i can be bothered with. dancing in heels and a dress is a pain.
going to places like nv and dcms are like going to a competition: best looking, best dancer, who has got the latest dance moves down pat, best dresser, best body etc etc
friday nite at dcms sucks, sky entertainment: wot more do u want me to say. saturday nites there are better dcms are open til lunch time on sunday, but thats if you can stand the coke users who go there.
 
ahhh but it came from there
from the italian nrg... to the tony vit style hi nrg to your DCM's volume 3 style stuff
songs like miss pepperment welcome to tommorrow, sq-1 can you feel the bass, 666 - Paradox, 7th sun, CM - dream universe (Dream universe is an example of hard trance going into NRG sets)
and not on that album songs like lock n load - blow ya mind
all that stuff is 97-98 and that paved the way for nu nrg... eg. nu nrg ministry of sound cd
lol i know what im talking about.. im not jsut spouting off "I hate all nrg shit bla bla"
nowadays that all falls under the same tag of the same sort of sets comprising of nrg, power trance.. and it doesnt matter that they are different genres as it all falls under the "nu nrg" tag nowadays
so I HATE NU NRG!!! DIE NRG DIE!!
I also hate all that super wog central station crap like alex k etc. much much more.. to me that is quite possibly the WORST form of music on the plannet that hi nrg shit that jimmy Z plays is the worst excuse for dance music that exists..
Ya Dig! :)
 
Yeah, preserve this thread and make it last longer than the crap, no-crowd-pleasin, mixed-for-30sec-by-any-monkey NRG. Get UK Hard up on the decks, can you say EUPHORIA??. DnB, breaks, garage, all that funky shit. If it makes you get creative on the dancefloor its the stuff to play. What does this bleep-bleep shit do? Makes morons into robotic morons. Dance for a minute then stop and look around for someone else to impress, fuck off you wannabes, wheres your creation, huh? You all just want to suck some DJ c*$k.
 
whats wrong with getting on copious ammounts of speed or (gas) as us newi bogans call it,taking your shirt off,and dancing,(hands in air )-clapping,to hi-energy,sorry "N-R-G" remixes of craig david(KIDDING)Please dont think i possibly.....? And MOOCHO: ,maybe thats why dj f*#l doesnt use vinyl,if the merc provided him with v-drink,and fone holders,he wouldnt have to play cd's!! hehehe.The fact that he can "tune da ladies" down-stars at the bar while in the middle of a set makes him a horrible dj/cds are the least of his probs :) in a nutshell nrg is repetativ n' boring

Fucking hypocrites...
This argument is strangely familiar to the Electronic/Dance music vs Rock/Alternative debate... And I know everyone here would be defending the honour of dance music...
You know why?!? 'Cos it all comes down to personal fucking taste!!!

hmmm not really peter... you make take offence to this but id compare hi nrg to the cheapest of punk thrash rock.. with no real musical creativity behind it.. just designed to make people jump around like loons who are really tanked... you dont need musical appreciaton to do this
much like NRG... the "cheap ass punk rock" of the dance music world ;)
 
the only thing that gives me the shits about NRG is that it gets played too much in the clubs, and keeps other styles from being played.
and here in Newcastle, with the aforementioned Mercury Hotel, too many people think NRG is "like, hardcore techno, bro!"
tictictictictictictictic
ticaticaticaticaticaticaticatica
tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
(dramatic pause)
DOOF!DOOF!DOOF!DOOF!...
 
I dont take offence to that at all Stylin, as I don't like NRG/Hard House much at all. However I do take offence to the fact that you seem to think you can dictate the rules to what is or isn't music...
Similarly, Andy Warhol didn't create art in the traditional sense but would you claim his work had no artistic merit?!?
People need to stop worrying so much about what everyone else is doing or listening to, and get on with life...
