Electronic dance music is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres produced largely for nightclubs, raves, and festivals. Produced for playback by disc jockeys (DJs), EDM is generally used in the context of a live mix, where a DJ creates a seamless selection of tracks by segueing from one recording to the next.[2]
Intelligent dance music (commonly IDM) is a genre of music that emerged in the early 1990s. It was originally influenced by developments in underground dance music such as Detroit techno and various breakbeat styles that were emerging in the UK at that time.[2][3]
Downtempo is a genre of music similar to ambient music, but usually with a beat or groove.[1] It was played throughout chillout rooms—the relaxation sections of the clubs or dedicated sections at electronic music events.[2] Downtempo music started to surface around Ibiza, when DJs and promoters would bring down the vibe with slower rhythm and gentler electronic music upon approaching sunrise.
Ambient music is a genre of music that puts an emphasis on tone and atmosphere over traditional musical structure or rhythm. Ambient music is said to evoke an "atmospheric", "visual"[2] or "unobtrusive" quality.[3] According to one of its pioneers Brian Eno, "Ambient music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting."[4]

you think only children believe that the massive worlds of house, techno, dubstep, drum & bass, garage, trance, EBM, and more are just "basic formulaic preset music"? dumbest shit i've ever heard. don't make such broad generalizations about a topic you know nothing about.
other descriptions are just stupid and funny.
>>61255837
* only children believe that they are MORE THAN just preset music

I like a lot of edm genres, but most of it is formulaic, you can't deny that.

"EDM" is more in reference to the current wave of popular dance music, rather than being an umbrella term. Most of the other definitions ITT hover around accuracy

Electronic dance music (also known as EDM, dance music,[1] club music, or simply dance) is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres produced largely for nightclubs, raves, and festivals. Produced for playback by disc jockeys (DJs), EDM is generally used in the context of a live mix, where a DJ creates a seamless selection of tracks by segueing from one recording to the next.[2]

The term "electronic dance music" was used in the United States as early as 1985, although the term "dance music" did not catch on as a blanket term until the late 1990s, when the U.S. music industry created music charts for "dance".[52] In July 1995, Nervous Records and Project X Magazine hosted the first awards ceremony, calling it the "Electronic Dance Music Awards".[Note 3][54] Writing in The Guardian, journalist Simon Reynolds noted that the American music industry's adoption of the term EDM in the late 2000s was an attempt re-brand U.S. "rave culture" and differentiate it from the 1990s rave scene.[3] In the UK, "dance music" or "dance" are more common terms for EDM.[4] What is widely perceived to be "club music" has changed over time; it now includes different genres and may not always encompass EDM. Similarly, electronic dance music can mean different things to different people. Both "club music" and EDM seem vague, but the terms are sometimes used to refer to distinct and unrelated genres (club music is defined by what is popular, whereas EDM is distinguished by musical attributes).[55]

In this context, EDM does not refer to a specific genre, but serves as an umbrella term for several commercially-popular genres, including techno, house, trance, hardstyle, drum and bass, dubstep, trap, Jersey club and their respective subgenres.[5][6][7][8]

The mainstream success of EDM made it increasingly attractive to investors to the point where there were comparisons to the dot-com boom of the late-1990s. Corporate consolidation in the EDM industry began in 2012—especially in terms of live events. In June 2012, media executive Robert F. X. Sillerman—founder of what is now Live Nation—re-launched SFX Entertainment as an EDM conglomerate, and announced his plan to invest $1 billion to acquire EDM businesses. His acquisitions included regional promoters and festivals (including ID&T, which organizes Tomorrowland), two nightclub operators in Miami, and Beatport, an online music store for EDM.[27][28] Live Nation also acquired Cream Holdings and Hard Events, and announced a "creative partnership" with EDC organizers Insomniac Events in 2013 that would allow it to access its resources whilst remaining an independent company;[29] Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino described EDM as the "[new] rock 'n' roll".[18][30][31]
Major brands have also used the EDM phenomena as a means of targeting millennials [35][36] and EDM songs and artists have increasingly been featured in television commercials and programs.[37] Avicii's manager Ash Pournouri compared these practices to the commercialization of hip-hop in the early 2000s.[37] Heineken has a marketing relationship with the Ultra Music Festival, and has incorporated Dutch producers Armin van Buuren and Tiësto into its ad campaigns. Anheuser-Busch has a similar relationship as beer sponsor of SFX Entertainment events.[37] In 2014, 7 Up launched "7x7Up"—a multi-platform campaign centered around EDM that includes digital content, advertising featuring producers, and branded stages at both Ultra and Electric Daisy Carnival.[35][38][39] Wireless carrier T-Mobile US entered into an agreement with SFX to become the official wireless sponsor of its events, and partnered with Above & Beyond to sponsor its 2015 tour.[36]

Some house producers openly admitted that "commercial" EDM needed further differentiation and creativity. Avicii, whose 2013 album True featured songs incorporating elements of bluegrass, such as lead single "Wake Me Up", stated that most EDM lacked "longevity".[41] Deadmau5 has criticized the homogenization of EDM, stating that the music he hears "all sounds the same", underlining his diversification into other genres like techno. During the 2014 Ultra Music Festival, Deadmau5 made critical comments about up-and-coming EDM artist Martin Garrix and later played an edited version of Garrix's "Animals" remixed to the melody of "Old McDonald Had a Farm". Afterwards, Tiësto criticized Deadmau5 on Twitter for "sarcastically" mixing Avicii's "Levels" with his own "Ghosts 'n' Stuff".[42][43][44][45]
Major brands have also used the EDM phenomena as a means of targeting millennials [35][36] and EDM songs and artists have increasingly been featured in television commercials and programs.[37] Avicii's manager Ash Pournouri compared these practices to the commercialization of hip-hop in the early 2000s.[37] Heineken has a marketing relationship with the Ultra Music Festival, and has incorporated Dutch producers Armin van Buuren and Tiësto into its ad campaigns.

None of them are really specific genres aside of arguably ambient, but even that covers a lot of ground.
>EDM - American phenomenon of noisy FM-driven dance music, shit subculture
>IDM - name given to electronic music that borrows some elements from dance music but isn't very dancefloor oriented, shit subculture
>Downtempo - electronic music with dance elements but is slower than more typical dance genres like house, includes trip-hop and shit like that. Shit subculture
>Ambient - electronic music with more emphasis on sound texture and atmosphere, less in the way of a rhythmic component. Usually slow. Doesn't have much of a subculture of its own because it's such a broad term, but rest assured it's devotees are shit too
>>61258347
literally all of those genres are vastly more popular outside the US than in. 5 of the 7 originated outside the US as well. all can be accurately described as dance-oriented electronic music. what?
>>61254984
EDM: Generic pop-dance beatport chart topper shit
IDM: 90s British post-dance experimentalism centered around Warp Records
Downtempo: Slower/more atmospheric music with a moderate ambient influence
Ambient: Wallpaper music
>>61260943
EDM implies commercial dance music, stuff like Martin Garrix and that chinese guy and whatnot., your average normalfag EDM fan will be weirded-out if you show him grime or oldschool jungle. Most places outside of America refer to these genres as dance music.
>>61254984
Oh, it's one of those "I don't know how to use google and I want attention" threads.
>>61258284
...but, Nu-Jazz/Jazzy Breaks/downtempo is better.
idm is only hard to dance to if you're a bit retarded and need a simple beat to follow
