I'm one of the oldest guys on this forum now and I could not agree with you more SwingBabyMix! I've talked about this off and on for at least 10 years. EuroFunk is huge but few on this forum are aware of it because frankly many have their heads filled with concrete and refuse to even listen to something they just know isn't "real music". Pure crap imho.

I'm still a very active gigging keyboard player and 10-12 years ago did a wedding. The band had a good selection of typical wedding gig songs, mostly classic rock and romantic ballads from the 70's to 80's era. Great, I grew up with that stuff and play it all the time. However, that gig was split up into two audiences. The older audience (older relatives of the bride and groom) loved the classic stuff but left after about hour into the evening leaving all the young people.

Somebody's cute 17 year old granddaughter came up to me and shyly and respectfully showed me her iPad with a song list on it and asked me if she could plug it into our PA for her friends. I said sure because I already could see we were in trouble with the leftover young folks. It was all stuff like this and nobody else in the band played along but I did using some synth patches and I had great fun jamming along to that music and several kids came up to me commenting about it. To other old guys reading this, trust me your kids and grandkids love it when you show a sincere interest in their music which I did by playing along with it. And yes, it most definitely is music. She and I turned it into a jammin house party. I didn't let her take over the rest of the night but I gave her a good 10-12 songs and we still played some more of our stuff but I can say for sure, her iPad saved that gig.

PG needs to pay serious attention to this. They've made a start but need to expand it a lot. They'll need somebody to sell to when all us old farts leave the stage.
