dj = geek ??

I think most DJs are geeks at heart.

Paul Van Dyk: “When I started, DJs weren’t in the media, electronic music wasn’t in the sales charts, and a DJ was the freak in the corner who provided the music while other people had fun.”

You don’t have to be, but it certainly helps. 🙂

To put the time in to practise when your friends are out and about getting laid etc implies a certain geekiness 🙂

Have you seen this?

Yeah I definitely think DJs are geeks, if you’re not a nerd when you start DJing, you most certainly will become one

I don’t feel you need to be a geek in the negative sense at all. I’m in the Navy, date beautiful women, and yet I’m passionate. You’ll find if you throw yourself into any profession you become a “geek” of sorts. You start sweating the details, pouring over the latest tools to make you sharper at your job, focusing almost myopically on subjects most people care little about.
Like you said, youre paid to have fun playing songs you love with the crowd. But those other 6 days of the week, you’re on forums like this reading about a subject that bores most people. Thats what I feel brings out the positive side of being a geek.
