I realize you have a point involving talent with instruments, but you cannot say that DJ's do not have talent. I dare you to grab even one turntable and try mixing in a numerous amount of beats into making something sound great, it is talent whether you like it or not. And not just dubstep. Drum and bass, glitch, techno, electronica, synthetic and trance. All of it is talent. But zewks, I don't have access to a pc, but watch Bassnectar-Timestretch (west coast remix)
I will retract my comment and say that yes, DJ's definitely possess talent. But to me they aren't 'musicians'. Or they are a completely different variety. They are musicians like someone that creates a collage from a hundred paintings is an artist. No, I couldn't jump on a turntable and make it sound great, because I don't think electronic music sounds great, for one, and also - I'm not a DJ. I don't have talent inserting tampons either, but I've never tried. I also can't jump in a rally car and win a rally, because I've never trained to. If I spend 30 hours in front of some turntables with some records, and a friend showing mw what to do, I'm fully confident that I could produce something the would sound great to at least a handful of people, but I have no desire to. I like music live, and I like to see musicians performing it, not electronics, that's just my opinion.
People like it, it sells, so they do it - and good for them. I know well enough that if I don't like something I can say my bit and then ignore it. It's my choice to get offended or to hate it or to have whatever reaction I want to it .... I shouldn't expect it to go away because I don't like it.
That said, some of those DJs have more talent, more musical knowledge, and more enthusiasm and love for music than many, if not the vast majority, of the top 40 ullbayitshay that fills our major airwaves.
