Why does EDM get so much hate? Every time I mention liking EDM people are like "then you don't like music" or "why don't you listen to some real music." But it's not like I don't like other stuff, I enjoy all sorts of things like Bon Jovi or RHCP. But I like EDM too and I don't see why it gets so much hate. There's all sorts of it.

>calling it EDM
>Liking Bon Jovi and RHCP
Not only your friends are dirty plebeians, but so are you
>>
because those guys are nerds who don't dance and want to make themselves feel better by putting someone or something else down

I'm not talking about friends, I'm talking about people on 4chan and stuff. What's it called if it's not EDM? I know there's a lot of subgenres but I'm talking about all of them.

>>63921635
I think you may be right, that does sound like the typical 4chan attitude.
>>
does EDM mean the stuff that's been popping up since deadmau5 and pendulum
>>
Honestly people calling any type of electronic music EDM is such a general term it's ridiculous. that's like calling something RDM (rock dance music). But seriously though I've had someone on this board try to tell me that Gabba is in anyway EDM. In short using the acronym EDM on this board is an attempt to
disenfranchise artists/any electronic genre.
>>
I can't hate the artists themselves, but I can hate the scene. Ravers are the most annoying concert/festival goers around. I'd rather spend all day with hippies dropping acid than have to deal with a bunch of ravers.
>>
>>63921716
lol they probably beat your little bitch ass up... how many glowsticks can they fit in there
>>
Its ironic a board that unironically listens to Young Thug, Kanye West, Tyler, Earl, Death Grips, Future etc then hates on EDM.

Like ones better than the other.

>tfw you were never the socially awkward teen to get Riina Tada through her rock phase and onto drone and psych.

Why live? On topic though, I think it is because it probably the most uninspired, derivative genre of music out there. I can differentiate between the pop and rock music that plays on my work's playlist along with most genres, but, as soon as I walk into the kitchen where the Chefs play EDM it all just sounds the same. It quite honestly deserves the hate it gets.
>>
>>63922104
Monstercat is actually a pretty big EDM label nowadays.
>>
>>63921774
you like this?
>>
>>63922228
I dont know what you mean by pop. You are right about EDM but katy perry and t. swift could be the same fucking person. Same beats, same production, same jew overlord. Pop could be critisized just like you did with EDM unless you mean the beatles or beach boys etc.
>>
>>63922104
It used to be, but they actually have an office in Vancouver now.

Hip-hop is vastly superior to EDM, don't you even try to deny it

zippity boppity blap

Don't kid yourselves.
>>
>>63923915
Thats not entirely true. EDM literally uses the same tones, same textures, same song structures, same scales, same rythms, similar melodies every single fucking time. Its way more samey than your average radio pop. Hell, listen to Animals by Martin Garrix and you basically heard all EDM out there. And yes, Ive been to EDM festivals before.
>>
>>63921610
american edm is shit because everybody follows the same formula. to a point where 95% of the songs are all produced by one guy and the dj's are just models which is true for alot of big name acts.
>>
>>63924084
Everyone follows the same formula, which is "write sections that are roughly eight bars long, the beginning of each bar is marked in some way", so the DJ can actually do something with your record.
>>
Because people on here like actual good dance music
>>
>>63924105
Oh yeah?

Calling them ravers would be a complete insult to OG ravers who danced to legit techno and not EDM shit.
>>
>>63924191
>>63924310
how are these any better than, say, deadmou5e or pendulum?
>>
>>63922104
it's been the most subscribed youtube EDM label for a while so I think they've stepped their game up

>>63924510
its way more atmospheric than the faki tune, which has barely any progression at all
but you would cherrypick one tiny part of the set

Maybe you just have bad hearing.
I bet you think that this is just a 10 minute loop too.

im not saying the faki tune isnt progressive, im saying the stuff dasha is playing is more atmospheric and progressive
find me a faki or klock tune like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNIhld15vK0&nohtml5=False
>>
>>63924981
Subzero, one of the biggest meme techno tunes of the last few years. How do you do know about that one, I don't know.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IrHzrg4qdQ

And it does more atmosphere and progression with much less.
>>
>>63925013
>How do you do know about that one
should be "how do you do not know", obviously.
>>
>>63925013
they arent alike mate, and youre the one telling me to use my ears

Typical hippity-hop fanboy
>>
>>63925064
You were asking for progression and atmosphere, what is Subzero missing in that regard?
>>
>>63925102
ok maybe i didnt make what i was trying to get at clear enough
the style that dasha rush plays, atmospherically, is much more mellow, ambient, deep and hypnotic than anything that faki or klock would put out
>>
>>63925220
>the style that dasha rush plays, atmospherically, is much more mellow, ambient, deep and hypnotic
But this is just not true.
Ever been to a club?
>>
>>63925252
>this is just not true
in what way, did you even listen to the set?
>ever been to a club
yeah i have, have you even seen dasha rush play?
