I don't think it's appropriate to make a joke out of this rather serious issue.

could have been a bit more open minded about the whole thing tbh, poor pauly never had a chance

funny nonetheless

It is a gig for 16 year olds... not music aficionados..

Reasonably amusing, but certainly smacks of shooting fish in a barrel

I thought this was funny, I don't get the chance to bash on EDM, because I actually have friends who enjoy this kind of shity music, so it's nice to vent my frustration here.

I think Pauly D is quite funny. Which is more than can be said for this article.

"EDM" has become such a joke that it is no longer fun to hate on it anymore... I am not sure if I feel sad for it or if is some sort of sick joke that the masses are all in on

As the author of this particular review, I feel I should probably comment here. This article definitely was 'shooting fish in a barrel', there is no denying that. But it was too good an opportunity to do something very far beyond my usual writing style to pass up. If anyone has ever read my other articles, you'd know what I typically cover and how I typically like to express myself.

Myself and my editors knew that it was going to be full of commercial music, poor mixing and a terrible crowd - we've seen enough footage from his shows to know what to expect. This is exactly why I was sent along - I was a fish out of water. It was NEVER intended to be a case of 'Andrew, go check out Pauly D and let us know what you think', it was always a case of 'oh dear, this should be a trainwreck, you have to go, Andrew'.

I would like to point out also that I DID do a fair bit of research on him before going to the event - watched/read interviews, watched as much footage of his sets as I could etc. I didn't go in totally blind and that may well have coloured my expectations, but to be honest, even if I had gone with absolutely no idea who he was, I imagine I'd still have felt exactly the same way by the end of it (the only part that probably would have been different was the opening).

Pauly D needs to do an RA podcast asap if not sooner

The article could have been better written. My 2c.

That certainly was a well written comment. My two cents.

You see how that added nothing
