ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

DJ

Okay kiddo, have you ever been to a party where there was someone playing music and making everyone dance? Well, that person is called a DJ!

A DJ is someone who chooses and plays music for people to dance to or enjoy. They use a special machine called a mixer to combine different songs together and make them sound really cool. They also use headphones to listen to one song while the other song is playing so they can get ready for the next one.

Sometimes DJs will also scratch the music, which means they make a cool sound by quickly moving the record back and forth on the turntable. They also use special effects like echo and reverb to make the music sound even better.

DJs work hard to make people have fun and enjoy themselves with good music. So next time you hear someone playing awesome music at a party, you know who to thank - the DJ!
