69 year old Granny DJ is latest electro meme.
Published on Friday 3/5/2010 @ 4:18 PM by the ALT REPORT Robot
This video is a profile piece of some old ass lady who is a ‘grandmother’, but decided to become a DJ. I am not sure if this is real, it might be something that a fake electro magazine did to get hits/youtube views. Ruth Flowers started DJing when her grandson had a birthday party, then she figured out that she could DJ ‘harder’ than young electro DJs, so she started her act. She allegedly gets gigs at ‘relevant clubs’ in France.
Does she seem like she is ‘legit’, or just acting like a senile old lady? Is DJing easy enough for an old person 2 do? Has modern technology like Serato, Ableton, and miscellaneous iPhone DJing ‘leveled the playing field’ for all DJs?
Do u think she had some sweet chemistry with these electro producer bros, or do they seem kinda pissed at her?
Wonder if she has ‘sick skills’ on the sound board.
Here is an example of a lame voice over from the piece. Seems like the electro local news, or something:
DJ Ruth dresses slightly like Kanye West because she thinks that’s what you have to do to get down with the kids, but as she rapidly approaches her 70th birthday, you would have thought she would want to start thinking about hanging up her headphones. Not the case, apparently. DJ Ruth has got a full schedule of gigs penciled in to the club calendar.
Does DJing help the elderly fight Alzheimer’s Disease?
Can old people do the same stuff young ppl can do, or should we keep them confined in retirement communities?
IS ‘age’ just a number?
Is DJ Ruth the next Justice / Uffie/ Crystal Castles?
Will DJ Ruth save electro / inspire a ‘revival’ of blog house?
Should DJ Ruth ‘die’ soon?
R u going to encourage ur grand parents to ‘get off their asses’ and do something relevant?
Is this a real video/human, or just a viral marketing ad for a progressive retirement community?

Did you even LISTEN to any of it?! It’s fucking rad and not a joke. I want to be her in 40 years and you hating on it is really pissing me off. It’s real, do a little more research on her before you blast her.
