Nathan Jackson

Literally not, early electronic/electroacoustic is mostly awkward wank, still better than EDM but that term should be limited to everything since Shrillix

anyways the objective answers are 70s for academic stuff and 90s for club/popular music

2000s
On the experimental/classical end, you had guys like Barry Truax perfect granular synthesis, Joseph Nechvatal take music programming to an insane level, Wolfgang Mitterer create glitchy improvisations, and you had Emily Howell perhaps being a small foreshadowing of where music might go.
On the poppier end, James Holden made the GOAT house mix, Burial introduced a very organically emotional aesthetic to garage beats, Kid A was fantastic idc if its popular, micro house and Swedish techno kicked all sorts of ass.
In between that we had guys like Supersilent, Ryoji Ikeda, Fennesz do all sorts of shenanigans as well.

I really really like this post.
Xenakis, Nono, Marie Pade, Distel, Bokanowski, Oliveros, Pierre Henry, Robert Ashley, Norman McLaren, Parmegiani, Badings, Rowe, and Stockhausen might want to take you up on that claim, user.

The 2000s were gold for the experimental end but the 90s reigns supreme for more conventional, DIY kind of stuff. Techno and breakbeat genres in general were an unstoppable force in the 90's.

Techno, breakbeat, drum n bass, house, etc. are examples of EDM, my man.
Landon Bennett
So is Grimes in that case
Connor Foster
Yeah, and? EDM isn't a negative term. lmao

the late 80's and early 90's was probably the peak of electronic creativity and /bleep/ style britlads
