I've never really filled out the section that asks me to describe myself, but I'm making an exception here because Destructoid is so awesome, and the column on the right looks so damn empty without something here. I'm just another guy on the internet who plays lots of games while trying to make something of myself.
I've always been into uplifting/epic/anthem trance but I have a soft spot for the pop stuff as well... I remember listening to the Vengaboys a ton back in the day while I was still in school with my friends...good times. I just now went to YouTube and watched one of their music video and damn was it horrible. Not only is the video just plain bad but the lip-syncing makes me cringe. Take a look for yourself:
This is probably one of the least embarrassing songs that I've listened to, yes I'm THAT bad. At least I'm man enough to fess up to it. I've walked in on my friends listening to some pretty lame shit and then I get to hear all the excuses. LOL Though I do like some real shit as well like Brian Transeau, Brainbug, Armin van Buuren, DJ Tiësto, etc.
The music scene is so crazy though that no matter what you like someone else will call you out on it and say that you're lame because people have such different tastes. By the way, if you're like me and you're too lazy to research music but you want to find new songs you like, try Pandora Radio. Basically you enter the name of a song or artist you like and it will suggest other music that you would like and actually plays it for you. You can give songs the thumbs up or thumbs down to have it tune more finely into your tastes. It's a really great site:
You won't regret checking it out. I've found some great music on there. It's too hard to find stuff I like since I have such specific tastes. Tell me how you guys like it!
haha. you just can't get off the vengabus. not even if it was travelling above and beyond 50 miles per hour and had a bomb strapped to the under carriage.
I am in the same boat but like you admit to it. I live in the south (The sticks), and when people hear I listen to techno, dance, and J-pop... they almost instantaneously want to hold a town meeting.
You seem less gay for admitting you like gay sounding music, like you have nothing to hide.
I'll get to do the same if and when D-Toid lets me do a front page review for "Nights: Journey into Dreams".
And you know what to do to really sound un-gay? Say stuff like "not that there is anything wrong with being gay" after you admit to something that really makes you sound gay. It's the perfect smoke screen.
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

I secretly played that song in my CD player as a kid.
...Hahahaha. Good times.
Plus I kiss boys.

I stopped short of anthem shit. Though I played a lot of DDR, so that kinda negates that.
the number of times I've driven around listening to either Vengaboys or the Lazy town sound track... I don't want to admit.
fack
@tehdopefish:
I didn't know that, that's a really shitty situation. Does it work in Canada?
Now I listen to Benny Benassi, they're way less gay.
