I'm curious what old songs you might be thinking of? I was a wannabe raver in middle school and an actual one at the end of highschool lol. I may know what's up
Darude - Sandstorm
Pshhhh get me some molly and that song will still go so hard lol
It's hard to remember song names, because most EDM tracks are non-lyrical.
For example in dubstep, most trends age poorly.
Skrillex- inspired stuff or "Zomboy - Terror Squad" copycats sound really oversaturated nowadays. Even "hip and cool" commercials made some bootleg versions of "Ruffneck Bass" and "Equinox" from Skrillex.
Also samples and sound design from many EDM tracks 10+ years ago feel really unoriginal from a modern listener's perspective.
There are obviously also a lot of exeptions. Old stuff from "Tha Trickaz", "Savant", "Xilent" etc etc all still hold up imo.
Outside of modern EDM subgenres I think most Eurobeat, old Disco, Techno and House stuff don't sound as exciting and crazy as they did back then.
Lol aw man I'm definitely getting old; I remember when Skrillex came out and kinda ruined the genre tbh, it was so totally different when it first emerged, it actually sounded like dub. So I'm not familiar with any of those guys, they were after my time.
I think it probably depends on the listener but yeah, if I try to listen to most mid 80s hip hop, it's so rudimentary that it's really hard for me to a tuslly get into. Like Run DMC, or NWA. I can get into NWA but the novelty runs out quickly so I can only listen to them very rarely. But there are a lot of newer bands that I hear and say "I've already heard x y and z do this better" so it's hard to get excited about new stuff too. If you are a really avid music listener I think it has to take something exceptional coming out to really get impressed by
