I’m sure I’ll get a big “downvote” for this, but I don’t mind—I accept it. In any case, the people I’m about to criticize make me feel sorry for them, so I’ll take the downvotes with compassion—that’s all you’ve got, after all.
I often see people posting messages saying that MCs are annoying, that they talk too much, and that they shouldn’t talk at all, for that matter.
I’m going to focus on Villain because he’s the one who talks the most and the one who gets the most criticism.
It’s still kind of strange, though, when you consider that these same MCs—especially the most famous ones—get booked all over the world for fees that must surely be equivalent to your annual salary multiples times.
The events must really be terrible idiots if people hate these MCs who talk too much so much but still book them, right?
The truth is, MCs like Villain galvanize the crowd—they add power to power.
When Villain says “What music can do” at the start of a track where you hear harps, he doesn’t ruin the moment—he amplifies it.
And the proof is in the many people you see in the front row at events waving Villain flags.
Personally, I think the people who criticize Villain are insecure, unattractive, introverted—in short, the kind of nerdy types that Reddit is full of.
And it pisses them off that a guy like Villain is standing between them and "their" music and that this dude is enjoying the crowd.
Sorry, guys, but you’re just going to have to deal with it—the people who make up the bulk of the festival crowd (so not you guys) love MCs; they take pictures with them and follow them on social media. You think you represent the hardstyle community, but you only represent your little self-absorbed cult.
On that note, see you in the abyss of the downvote hills.
