Not true about Australians (and I am no patriot).

Weren’t Reddit comparing a couple of years ago that too many AI bots crawls were stressing their servers.
Doesn’t the internet archive relieve that stress?

In finding this Rhodes piano video for you I finally realise that the very low bass notes have a grungey tone (clipping distortion). I even played one of these weekly at my music teacher’s place but did not notice.
- Comment on Fear of 'being cringe' blamed for lack of dancing on nightclub dance floors 4 days ago:
There is rarely piano but when there is then it is electric piano. The other elements are a single note or chord stab on the off-beat (or every second off-beat, sometimes every second on-beat for variety).
Shakers.
Amazingly this song reached #1 in South Africa? No vocals and syncopated rhythm.
This guy (with a Greek Father) was huge but died young. Here is another track of his.

Didn’t see this until now. Want to say I appreciate the detail and learned something.
Personally I crave novelty so I get bored of a genre soon after it is named. After all, there is no point in naming a genre unless there are many people copying it.
I recently discovered amapiano which is surprisingly popular considering the syncopated rhythms. But before I could go out to an amapiano club I realized there was a tight formula (narrower than what I initially perceived it to be: ie I thought it was just an electronic version of Afro jazz with occasional rap).

- Comment on Cockatoos that feel the beat perform 30 distinct dance moves, study shows 1 week ago:
Video would be more convincing if we could hear the actual music the bird is supposedly dancing to.
Overdubbed music totally undermines the claim it is in sync.
Mind you I have seen videos of Cockatoos in sync with music.

My Flfriends set up a CMS by invite only (people we know IRL). Hundreds of us there and yet only a handful are active.
People want to be where the action is (more so than where the quality is). FOMO.

I find in real life they are just as polarized but not as rude about it. Both left and right friends of mine.
However almost all of them get the hint to respectfully change the topic when there is an impasse. Online the badgering continues unabated.

How is the genre different from the main floor 20 years ago? This description I found makes it sound the same…
Big room dancing refers to a style of electronic dance music (EDM) that is characterized by its high-energy, anthemic melodies, and powerful drops. It is often associated with the mainstage sound of large EDM festivals and is known for its use of powerful basslines, heavy synths, and a four-on-the-floor beat.
Big room tracks are typically designed to fill large venues and create a vibrant atmosphere for dancing.
The genre has evolved over the years, with some artists exploring a harder, more techno-driven sound.
Key elements of big room music include a strong bassline, simple melodies, dynamic build-ups and drops, and a minimalist production approach.
Some of the most influential big room artists include Martin Garrix, Hardwell, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and KSHMR.

Nice idea but why waste your battery? Probably works just as well pretending to record them.

We already do have such laws. There is a statement after each audio/video but if the ad appears on your phone you will probably skip past the warning and only hear the first few seconds which subconsciously still influences some people into gambling.
