Fair enough, the technical aspect of DJing is a massive piece of piss* compared with playing a musical instrument, but the part that not so many people can master is the selection of records and the development of themes etc throughout a set etc.
Your argument is as specious as that decrying practitioners of electronic music as without talent. If your point was valid, anyone could be a good DJ.
Once again your argument is demonstrably nonsense. Perhaps that’s what you are good at – talking shit?
