Electronic Music Genres

What's the electronic music scene like?

Electronic music history is basically a graveyard of "this isn't real music" takes that aged badly

It's also commonly laughed at in the UK. We typically see it as an Americanism that is a sort-of catch-all for different genres of electronic music. When Aphex first came out it was under the genre/banner of "Braindance" (remember that? :)). He has used quite a few genres since, though.

This looks like a (rather cheesy) repackaging of the experimental electronic music scene. It's not significantly different to what people like Autechre have been doing for decades (several names on algorave.com are from that scene).

Unless you are into Bassnectar and the like... ;)

It's called electronic music. Trance preferred.

Some might say, that says something about electronic music ..

I'm not sure how to phrase this in a way that complies with the spirit of HN (open to suggestions!) but that's a pretty American take on electronic music.It's not necessiraly wrong, but it holds just as much for any other genre of music and the choice of "EDM" to make the point is pretty typical.

I’m often disappointed in these chart as an avid fan of experimental bass music and everything adjacent to it (dub, dubstep, riddim, trap, DNB, UK garage, glitch hop, neuro hop, etc.) Genre-bending has become the norm, making it increasingly harder to describe music and trace lineage.The scene I’m into right now is blossoming yet underrepresented. There’s some artists out there really pushing the envelope. I highly recommend Of The Trees, Daily Bread, Esseks, FRQ NCY, and IMANU, for starters.

this link said nothing about providing 'tech house' see title for 'electronic dance house' which would show your distaste for music 'popular' enough to be used in a large dance/rave setting
