Why do people describe music as cheese??

Why do people describe music as cheese??

This annoys me loads, the way people just instantly hear the name of a tune, or DJ, and go, its crap coz its cheese!!

Please for all of you who use this term, what is cheese?? I know it as the stuff that grows between your toes!! and maybe other areas!!

Also, I thought it was student nights (70s, 80s and pop) that were described as cheese, not promise nights, or the DJs, or the music they play!!

I can understand people using the word cheese to describe Top of The Pop music, but I think a lot of people use it to describe what was once a wicked tune, thats been around a bit, and gone commercial as cheese! Just because its gone commercial, it doesnt make a tune "cheese!" It makes it mainstream, and for some people may be the reason for no longer liking it, but a lot of these tunes had they're place in time, and to immediately hear these tunes now and call it cheese, I reckon, is crap!

What do other people reckon about using "cheese" to describe tunes and DJs? I think it is shit!! Maybe a tune is out dated, or just "not to your taste" but as far as I can see, most trance/techno tunes have a good feel in someone's eyes.

i agree with u cyberdog. it annoys me when people start going i dont like that dj because he plays cheese etc.

Cheese in my eyes is top of the pops stuff.

i describe dance music on the radio as cheese (excluding dance music shows on the radio e.g jules, pete tong etc.....).

i have my own opinion on "cheese" cyberdog and that is shit that is stuff that gives trance a bad name ie that fookn wanky D.j alligator song and fookn shitthat is played during the day on galaxy and stuff like that. i consider that tobe cheese!

what u reckon??

i agree it pisses me off when people say that!!!! look no further than Norman Cook who plays tunes becuse they are good tunes!!! regardless of how high they are/got int the Charts!!!

A tune is a tune fuck what anyone says!!!

who calls norman cook like bouze if i ever hear anyting said bad boot norm he is fookin wikid ihave to see him do a live set this yr going to get his album form brighton beach 2mrw that set was fookn amazing!!!
tis fookn class the way he plays mad as fook tunes!! but tunes that make u wiggle like mad!!

lol

He is my Idol!!! i Furkin love him!!! I saw him at the love parade and he is amazing!!!1!!!!


YAY wikidness lee!!! another fan!!

Wotcha think of Van Helden?!?!?!

bouze did u listen to soul wax hang the d.j it was on radio 1 like xmas time ish??

I ve seen him, ages ago! Was wicked, Radio 1 road show when the eclipe was on, in Cornwall!! Went to see Dave Pearce after......

who said anything about his tunes! i actually thought he was cheese i.e. FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!

u all know i love commercial stuff otherwise y would i go 2 ikon?

oh i was on about jules by the way

Cheese ='s music which is made to sell - it can be a pop thingy like that pop idol tune, it can be a commercial dance track like 9pm till I come....

But a lot of the bestest dance tunes were designed to sell records (catchy lyrics, catchy hook, melodic formula's that work) look at rank 1 - airwave or pvd - for an angel... Blatant cheese... it doesn't make it shit though - infact I love both tunes.

well thats my deffanition

Please tell me, how can a DJ be as you so put it "fuckin shit", when his tunes aren't and his mixin isnt either?? are you jealous that hes actually made a fortune doing a job he enjoys???

Its people like that that fuck me right off, alright Jules might not be to your taste but lack of intelligence amongst some seem to thing that yelling out "it fucking shit!!" is a decent responce.

I might not like techno, but I aint gonna just start shoutin "its fucking shit!!" to people who actually might like the stuff!

I LIKE CHEESE!!!

its only wen it is played over n over again on the radio n starts appealin to piss heads that it becomes shite!!!

take zombie nation for example....a mint tune wen it was 1st played over 2 yrs ago......totally pants now!!!

nuff said!!

cheesey pants u mite even say.......

erm nope! lol!!!!

i followed u up until the end then i lost it

tis probably best....tis monday afternoon after all!

saw dave pearce on saturday (some would call him the king of cheesey dance music).. he probably played some commercial dance records i recall hearing them and thinking can't remember any names though. However his choice of tunes didn't really bother me, infact i quite enjoyed the night apart from his poor mixing over and over again.
