Its 2016, electronic music made rock irrelevant 20 years ago, why is there nowhere like /mu/ dedicated to dance and electronic music other than WATMM who are stuck in the 90s still sucking Aphex cock?
>caring about relevance
>liking electronic music
pick one
if you pick the first, I heard the new beyonce album is pretty relevant right now

>living in the past
You're like those old grannies who wouldn't listen to rock music in the 60s and still only listened to big band and crooners
with social media being such a huge presence nowadays, music forums have become all but obsolete honestly. there's really no need for them.

>what if you just like rock music and dont give a fuck about "relevence" and being a pretentious beta faggot?
>>64421928
Big band is good get fucking taste
We Are The Meme Makers is great
Autechre r bttr tho
>>64422154
But I like wasting time on /mu/, I just wish I didn't have to hide 145 shit threads all the time.

>implying you're alive
>implying time is a flat line
>implunging toilets
wait who is better than aphex twin?
>>64422313
Autechre honestly
at the very least their quality control is far better
also personally I think Boards of Canada were at a point and Lopatin is currently matching him. Clark has been pretty close at points too.
>>64422313
If you are talking about ''''IDM'''''' then Autechre. Otherwise it depends on the genre.
>>64422313
not op, but it's not so much the fact that there are people better than aphex, it's just that at this point he has his legacy and has been discussed at length (and almost to death).
it's nice to have fresh conversations and recommendations for newer artists and scenes and what not.
>>64422313
Aphex Twin is The Beatles of electronica.
>>64421671
anyone know some good idm forums for recs and discussion? PLS help a nigga out
>>64422662
The fact this thread exists shows there isn't anywhere, obviously.
>>64422690
That can't be, i refuse to believe
>>64422787
I sure as fuck wouldn't be on this embarrassment of a music board if there was somewhere.
>>64422662
the only IDM forums I can think of are WATMM, Twoism, and IDMForum
now as to whether or not they're any good...
I know those feels man, the only reason i still come to /mu/ is for the occasional /IDM general/ that dies after 10 posts and those rare ambient threads that show up every now and then, otherwise the whole board is a travesty...

I'm not only interested in IDM and ambient, most ''electronic music'' interests me to a degree, except vaporwave.
>>64423202
he's not wrong, WATMM can be nice but it's often pretty circlejerk-ey over RDJ and Warp and Rephlex in general
>>64423217
Know anything similar to this?
