if someone was going to talk about every type of edm, would you expect to hear about things like electropop, eurodance and bubblegum bass etc, or do you consider those to be more pop music and not true edm?
>>130677098Talking about these genres in general would be kind of missing the topic, but there are definitely records within all of these that deserve their place in such a discussion.
>>130677098really depends on your angle as an electronic music fan. Pop remixes have a very real place on the dance floor, and stuff like garage was pretty much mainstream but is still usually respected by people who are real fans of all things electronic. If you're a DJ who wants to play experimental freaky shit but the floor isn't reacting to it, you do sort of have an obligation to please the crowd and just give them something they wanna dance to, so incorporating poppy or mainstream shit is part of the craft.A lot of MIllennials in the USA grew up in a rock-centric world where electronic music "wasn't real music", and a lot of those people who got into electronic stuff hit it from the IDM angle or other weird druggy shit, like the EDM/hippy fest crossover that happened around 2010, so that demographic is more likely to not consider real dance floor stuff to be interesting or innovative, but people who rave in countries where raving is truly a big part of the culture are more likely have a respect for the poppier side of thingsIMO

>>130678749point out where I whined about rock music? Probably half of what I listen to is rock music. I said nothing about "rockism", but you saw "rock-centric" and went on to complain about it.>you didn't even attempt to answer my questionsee here:>that leaves room for Daft Punk fansyou're either really, really bad at comprehending shit, or you're just at the edge of your seat waiting to queue up your favorite /mu/ argumentsrelax
