Looking for clichéless EDM albums that are actually good. Acoolrocket 09/16/25(Tue)18:07:51 No.127765673

I'm blown away how cohesive Madeon - Adventure is. Doesn't trigger my PTSD from 2013 EDM Youtuber intro/stock commercial promo music type shit at all.

Cliché tropes like baby-pitched vocals, the most generic-sounding female vocalist in the world, a very predictable drop and the likes that probably 75% of NCS music has.

EDM was always meant to be listened to as a mix.

I am fascinated by zoomers… you don’t like EDM full of tropes… you don’t like bubblegum vocals… and then you post

How can you talk down drops and popular stuff then post that weak shit? It’s significantly worse daft punk type music. It’s at least superior to mystery skulls but nowhere near justice.

If you’re impressed by that you must be blown away by

Good stuff, although darksynth is a bit cheating. Looking more into the Monstercat type stuff.

Would also highlight this remix from them, always felt like something that could be a part of that Madeon album.

Idealism sadly didn't age well apart from Pogo and Idealistic.
