ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Beatmatching

Beatmatching is like playing a game where you try to line up two songs so they sound good when played at the same time. You have to figure out how fast each song is and make them play at the same speed. It's like playing with two toys that make noise - you have to make sure they're both making noise at the same speed so they don't sound weird. DJs use special tools to help them figure out how to match the beats of the songs, and it takes practice to get really good at it. When they do it right, it sounds amazing and makes people want to dance!
