It starts off with some bull about Pioneer being expensive and then continues like this
"Oh, and no, DJing is no where near as hard to play as most other instruments, and you don't have to be pro to be good at it. Nearly anyone who takes a good 5 minutes doing it, can sound good.
This thing here though, it looks like a joke, but you never know, it might turn out to be a good device."

I've been playing the piano since I was 6, teaching myself {on and off admittedly} guitar with the past 4 years and only being DJing properly for over a year. To be honest, getting everything right during a gig puts me under more strain than playing the piano. I'm constantly learning something new with DJing, as I am sure even the most experienced DJs are. But apparently all our efforts are proving futile as all it takes is just "five minutes". I'm done ranting now.

Why... Were you going to engage in a casual conversation and explain the finer points of DJing ?
Or just completely rip him a new one?

Somewhere in between. It seems like he/she is one of the people who doesn't understand that dj'ing is more than just pressing play. More than just beat matching. More than just taking requests. It's about reading the crowd, reading people, knowing more music than everyone else, and being able to hold alot of booze.
