yeah, same thing as the kpop cancer general

"EDM" isn't /bleep/

"EDM" is the American bastardisation of big room electro and brostep, among others
/bleep/ is underground dance music, mostly techno, house, garage and drum n bass

>all electronic music is EDM

you're not real bright are ya

Don't you fuckers get it?

The entire genre of electronica is commercial, all electronica is EDM, as it's objectively inferior/cheaper music. It's our degenerate plebeian Sup Forums that has tried to make us believe EDM is an "essential" genre and that if you don't like it you must be "narrow-minded", a "rockist" who listens exclusively to "twings and twangs" and there's probably some racial element to it too. EDM music has no staying power. All of EDM is just a neo-disco sub-genre of top-40 pop, with a "mechanical" paint job. This music doesn't stand the test of time, it's a fad. That's why EDM producers are discussed about like fashion. Image/fashion/numbers sold are actually considered when talking about them. EDM is just a really cheap/lazy form of music anyways. The majority of EDM beats are just stealing (MUHH "SAMPLING") another artist's music, looping it over a generic drumbeat while someone throws preset synths over it. The "technical aspects" of EDM are not hard at all. That's why there's 14 year old white girls on YouTube uploading themselves mixing with ease and speed, dropping polyrhythms like it's nothing. But because they don't fit the image of a "EDM fan", no one would take seriously. I've listened to it all from backpacker shit like Basic Channel and Deepchord to the "golden days" of Derrick May and Frankie Knuckles to revival stuff like Mall Grab and Delroy Edwards to the 90s with 4hero and Omi Trio to the CLT approved Mouse on Mars and Autechre to today like DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn. All electronica is EDM. All of it. Stop spamming it. Either keep it contained into one threads or request a containment board. I'm sick of coming on Sup Forums and seeing a million DJ Rashad threads (none of which are about music btw).

>Electronic Dance Music is not EDM

pure fucking autism

are you trying to create a new meaning for your beloves EDM trash just because it's undergroung and cool unlike those popular EDM trash that is mainstream and not cool?

beloved*

the most popular genres of electronic music discussed on there are clearly EDM, see the list of some of them here

See why I put inverted commas on "EDM"

I'm well aware that originally EDM was an initialism of electronic dance music, however it hasn't been that way in the eyes of the greater popular culture for close to a decade now

Everyone in the know just calls it dance music anyway, and avoids calling it EDM to avoid confusion

are you trying to create a new meaning for your beloved EDM trash just because it's undergroung and cool unlike those popular EDM trash that is mainstream and not cool?

it's like if the fans of rock would trying to rename it after it became wildly popular genre

/bleep/fags are literally autistic

Why is hip hop contained put in there too, it's EDM with vocals like jungle and disco.

>It's like if the fans of rock would trying to rename it after it became wildly popular genre

Yes they do; buttrock lmao

You mean "indie"

both buttrock and memerap have their respective genres in their names

bleepfags act like cool undergound EDM is not EDM just because it's underground

>are you trying to create a new meaning for your beloved EDM trash just because it's undergroung and cool unlike those popular EDM trash that is mainstream and not cool?

Well yeah, in a way, a vast vast majority of "EDM" is complete shit, as you probably agree
However there is an equal amount of stellar material, and most of it has remained outside of the mainstream since its inception
Look up some Resident Advisor year end lists to get a good idea of the type of stuff worth listening to

Still renaming it for the same reasons

All rap is memerap

it's just a prefix, not a complete renaming

EDM is not a fucking genre

NOT
A
GENRE

Still renaming it for the same reasons

it's not even a renaming, it's just a prefix

THIS

Hip hop is just EDM

...

Yes it is lls

too late

it is a genre

both buttrock and memerap have their respective genres in their names

bleepfags act like their cool undergound EDM is not EDM just because it's underground

Irrelevant, still renaming it for the same reasons

Add prefix and its a different word with different meaning.

>Irrelevant, still renaming it for the same reasons

pard

Hop hop/rap/memerap is an EDM subgenre

>is this a containment thread or something?
No, the rest of the board is containment.
You probably don't even get it anyway.

EDM means american brostep and american fidget house. /bleep/ is about pretty much every dance genre except those ones + bass & IDM genres

cant you read

Autism.

Thats

do u understand how language works

we still call it dance music though...

explain how adding a prefix is even comparable with /bleep/tards who completely renamed some of their favorite EDM shit

Add prefix and its a different word with different meaning

>/bleep/tards who completely renamed some of their favorite EDM shit
i have no idea what you are talking about

that's not answering my question

Yes it is

...

I know. Rap, mumblerap, trap, it's just EDM.

that's not even correct haha

rockfags renamed some of the popular rock to buttrock with keeping the word 'rock' in it

on the other hand here's a /bleep/tard how is this even comparable?

Add a prefix and its a different word with different meaning

stop replying him ffs

Techno and house existed before EDM became a label so it's actually EDM which is the renaming of the (different) genres of techno and house.

...

uncool ROCK -> buttROCK, still rock

cool EDM -> bleep, how is this even comparable?

Yes, ignore the logical guy proving your feeble argument wrong.

Adding a prefix is still a different word, also

EDM is well established to be a term that has been coined by the american rock press to refer to a specific subset of americanized electronic dance music.

Now, I dislike Simon "I'll 'nuum ur bum" Reynolds as much as everyone else, but he certainly is good enough for you.

By the way, nobody says /bleep/ when referencing the music itself. /bleep/ is a metaphysical entity, a cybernetic club environment that allows people from around the globe to meet and exchange their ideas and the music they like, not a genre identifier.
But I can see why people might view it as such.

House and techno are genres, EDM is a later term completely renamed for these genres which don't even have the same genre label in them like buttROCK and memeRAP.

How is EDM even comparable?

What the fuck are you talking about?

EDM is the relabelling of genres including house, techno etc after they existed, if anything at all, EDM is the renaming of those genres (and doesn't even include the original genre names).

-ask a normie to play you some EDM and they will play you some brostep or fidget house (maybe vocal trance too)
-ask a /bleep/head to play you some EDM and they will look at you in disgust but also play you some brostep or fidget house or vocal trance

only clueless idiots like yourself who think knowing something about completely different genres of music means they automatically know what EDM is too try to argue that techno, house, jungle, e.t.c. is EDM. literally everyone else in the world who is not a 17 year old Sup Forumsbaby has the same definition of EDM.

EDM does not mean "electronic dance music", despite the fact that it is an initialism for Eletronic Dance Music.
How is that hard to understand?
I really don't get it.

How does it feel being double digit IQ Amertiard?

same shit
