Has DDR gotten to popular?

For me, I think DDR has gotten top known and everybody seems to know what it is now. When I first started playing, which was in the 3rd Mix days, and you would tell people you played DDR, you would try to explain to them what it was and try to make them visualize it. Now, when you say you play DDR, they automatically know its Dance Dance Revolution. Then they add how gay that game is and say that anybody could play. DDR used to be unique.

.....Is that a bad thing?
All that means is bigger crowds, more oponents, and less idiots you have to fight for calling you gay.
I only see pluses.

Well as long as people make fun of you because they know the game now, well that rocks!

When i tell ppl that i play DDR they are like what is that? and i am like, Dance Dance Revolution. and they are still like huh? And i have to explain all about its a dancing game with arrows that scroll up a screen and u gotta hit the coresponding arrow with ur foot. Then sometimes they'll be like, oh yea i saw that once, but most of the time they have no idea what i'm talking about

DDR isn't that popular around here and I wish it was more so that way we might be able to get a machine closer that a half hour away!!!! Yea when I was a Gala this year we had DDR and some guys though it would be fun to make fun of my suckyness but then Str8 got up and PA'd and they quickly shut up. I dosn't botter me that they make fun of me cause I'm about a million times better than they'll ever be.

In California (and maybe other parts in the Western region) it got stale pretty much after DDRMAX2.

In other parts...maybe getting popular.

I don't really think there is anything bad about ddr becoming more popular, first of all, people know what game youre talking about and, it means that ddr will be easier to find in arcades, due to its popularity.
I really do think it's extremely annoying when people say that ddr is gay, or assume that it's really easy, and anyone could play just by looking at it.

pro swap meet in socal used to be $.25 for 5 songs + extra stage, but people complained about the wait, now its 3 songs for a quarter

Yes, now that there are more people playing, the prices have gone up and there are now more stupid people playing it. Like I was at my arcade the other day and there were these two little kids playing it and they were on beginner. One of the kids kept on saying that he was so good when he should of failed. Then they hogged the machine all day long. After that, they got all of their little friends to play and when they got off the machine finally, they called the game retarded. I was really puzzled at the whole situation.

Where I live it's just barely getting noticed more often now. Considering I live in a rural area, it helps.

I'll bet you, anyone who says DDR is stupid and easy has either never played or tried to play and failed horribly.

You all know this was gonna happen anytime soon. It always does. But you all who used to get upset when people call you gay for playing DDR shouldnt be complaining. Now you dont get called gay. I never minded being called names. (Maybe im not a good example seeing as im 6 foot 5 and dont really have people who wanna talk smack at me)

But the fact is that we win and loose both ways. You know what? You could cleverly associate this Fear of Popularity with the fear that Older American Immigrants had when Newer American Imigrants came in. The biggotismn and stuff like that.

PS... Spike is a cool admin. But When in sams hill is Phrekwenci?!

I think DDR becoming more popular is great because it will create a larger market for konami and theyll just keep makin new arcade mixes and home mixes which is good for all the ppl playin in arcades (easier to find machines) and for me because i can't get to the arcade often......
