Once upon a time a DJ was one who played records, a "Disc Jockey" if you will. As with all good things, this is no more. Now there are many kinds of DJs. Playing Beatmania doesn't make you a DJ.

[edit] Radio DJ

Known for their irritating banter and completely static playlists, radio DJs don't really do much work anymore, aside from changing CDs or mp3s in more well-equipped stations. Some broadcasting companies have given up on DJs completely and simply plugged an iPod into their transmitters.

[edit] College Radio DJ

Russians do it different.

Same thing as Radio DJ, only with more stuttering and eating potato chips on an open mic. Sometimes they swear a lot.

[edit] Rave DJ

If you want to hear the same drumbeat for eight hours straight, then you're looking for a rave DJ. They play many styles of music which are essentially the same but they fight over which is which, so much that they never have time to make up a playlist and just spin whatever they find in their record crate. Rave DJs only use vinyl and will argue about it for hours, since vinyl sounds "warmer" which is audiophile for "I think I listen to better music than you do." The *actual* reason vinyl sounds "warmer" is because vinyl sucks balls at reproducing higher frequencies, but don't tell them.

[edit] Armchair DJ

With the advent of incredibly powerful computer technology (such as DDR) it's become possible for just about anyone to be a DJ. Pirate some software and make your own mixes out of shitty J-Pop and Punk while not paying any attention to the the tempo or melodies. You'll have people listening to your Shoutcast stream in no time!

[edit] DeadJournal

It's like LiveJournal with approximately 98.876567666% more goths. As with Rave DJs, most goths also prefer vinyl, for different reasons. See also Girlvinyl.
