It isn't merely the representation of female bodies that is at issue: it's the sheer lack of women in the dance music industry. On festival stages, in club lineups, in positions of power as defined by influence over what people listen to and how much money can be made, women are in the extreme minority. Other than providing some publications occasional opportunities to publish inoffensive lists of "must-hear" female DJs "you need to know," this gender imbalance does nothing positive for the culture.

I actually listened to some edm for the first time the other day. My gf was listening to it in the car
It's basically just new wave pop. I don't know why they made up a whole new name for an old genre of music
I don't know who the artist was or what the song was called but it wasn't half bad. Definitely beats the rap these gen z wiggers love to listen to

>Further, the fact that brown and black women are seen as objects fit for consumption of straight white male gaze, and with rare exception, not suitable for a spot behind the decks on a festival main stage is problematic and indicative of the huge gap between mainstream dance music's ethos of acceptance and its new reality of exclusivity.
Hunter Rivera
It's electronic music. If I'm listening to house or techno, the gender of the dj literally does not matter. I remember Mixmag tried to push some bullshit 'women in dance music' meme.
Thomas Miller
>new wave pop
Said this exact shit to an EDM head a little while back and he got FUCKING PISSED.

> >Of the 24 DJ headliners at Ultra this coming weekend, none are women. Only five would likely identify as people of color. None are openly gay. If they were alive today, what would Larry Levan and Frankie Knuckles have to say about the co-opting of their music and their counter-culture by a demographic that already runs the world?
Jordan Thompson
Depends what you say as edm. EDM is usually just generic term all that Calvin Harris etc. stuff what they play on radio.
Not this trance for example: youtube.com
Brandon Baker
That's exactly what the music sounded like to me. I would know what it sounds like too, I have like a gig of 80's pop on my HDD.
how old is he? He's probably never even listened to music pre 1995
Jason Johnson
You're only listening to the pop heavy section of EDM. That's the only stuff that'll fly on the radio, and yes, it sounds just like regular pop.
Nicholas Collins
This, electronic music is much more and you could call this EDM it's own genre.
There is trance, techno, house etc. and sub genres of those.
For example you won't hear this on generic radio station: youtube.com

So, when is Vice going to bother covering the huge female EDM scene in the Middle East? No joke, there's a ton of female DJ's with a lot of real talent and yet you'll never know if you only follow "mainstream" EDM coverage. The same goes for Europe, too. There's no gender or race issue, it's a problem of refusing to cover female DJs.
Alexander Roberts
EDM isn't a genre.
It's an umbrella like calling any and all derivitive of blues-country-rockabilly as Rock music.
Jeremiah Wilson
The best females are the ones nobody knows about.
Doesn't matter what for.

The main reason why so many of the original (black male) Chicago and Detroit artists are so revered is because the music took off so much in Europe during the 80s up until now. Criticising the fact that an overwhelming amount of the people who took influence from the music are European males is beyond stupid. Besides, everyone knows women have little real interest in music other than bragging about being groupies or being a vocalist if they do get involved in music.

>they begin by saying lgbt poc created the edm scene and not white males
AHAHAHHAAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA
This is what happens when skrillex loving losers get a little bit older and start thinking they're the "oldfags" of EDM. These liberals have alzheimers or something

When are people going to realise that 'pointing out' (ie providing) a problem in a hobby or subculture where everyone was fucking fine already, and then offering the only solution is a classic shyster gambit.
What makes this particular flavor so evil is that it deliberately preys on peoples empathy and desire to be an empathic being.
One of the most solid realizations i have come to in recent years is that empathy really is a finite resource, and empathy vampire are fucking *everywhere*. So you have to dig deep within yourself an be judicious with it, for everyones sake.

why don't women make music anyway?

Maybe the actual problem is that those quotas aren't being filled because those genetic tags aren't interested in that kind of job.
