All music made with conputers is edm. Hip hop trap crunk crunkcore idm ambient porterrobinson.

If you can dance and its electronic it is electronic dance music.

Music made with electric guitars is also edm. As long as there are no live drums.

dude I have been up all night and I'm not in the mood for b8. This thread is probably b8 I guess. I hate you all.

>>
>>64203132
you can't dance to ambient you dimwit
and even if you were gonna reply with "yes you can step up bruh" you need to consider it's about what the music was intended for, not what you do personally.

>>64203081
xD

>>64203132

correct, when you think of it most music is actually edm. most jazz is totally edm, classical is probably also edm. some folk music is but most of it's like experimental music

Ambient is the only non-dance music.

Prove me wrong.

>dance ~ dɑːns/ verb
>gerund or present participle: dancing
>1. move rhythmically to music, (often following a set sequence of steps.)

Implying ambient has no rythym

your description of EDM is spot on but your description of IDM is spotty
there's plenty of IDM that is complex af and demanding of mental attention and that is hard to slip out of conscious awareness that does not satisfy the ambient part of ambient techno. and then also that complex stuff often doesn't derive its percussion from jungle/dnb/breaks. also IDM isn't a term anybody from the original IDM scene identifies with, even those who fit your tidy description. Shit is fucked! A term we'd be wise to stay away from. But since all that EDM shit is garbage it's fine if we stay away from the music and embrace the term as a pejorative descriptor.

What does IDM stand for?
>>
>>64203297
I didn't say anything about the complexity of it either way.
