/edm/ thread! Why is Porter Robinson so underrated?

>>70443148
>underrated

One of the most popular normie tier edm producers

porter isnt underrated unfortunately. ever since the shelter video, he attracted normies and weebs to his music and they claim to be porter fans but only listened to shelter/divinity/sad machine. they make OG fans look like retards

>tfw sad machine is my favorite song ever but now i feel like im a normie for liking it

>>70443148
We already have a designated edm general here on /mu/

please respect board rules

>>70443668
except thats not EDM you fucking retard. thats pretentious hipster garbage. EDM is better and /mu/ needs a designated EDM general

Hey I'm a plebfag who kind of like Porter Robinson, could someone rec me a similar artist?

>>70443668
Then why is there more than one rock thread?

All those subgenres like prog, metal, punk, emo, shoegaze etc should be kept in one /rock/ thread.

>>70443703
you should check out k?d. hes kind of like the new porter i guess, albeit more "loud" than porter's melodic stuff

>>70443685
if you dont like pretentious hipster garbage then fuck off
youre obviously on the wrong site you stupid normie

there are people who are unironically listening to this when they're not at parties or listening to the car radio?

>>70443731
Thanks I will check this out

>>70443747
not sure if youre shitposting or not desu

>>70443767
ive never heard EDM on a car radio before

>>70443767
>My music taste is superior to yours!!! :^)))

>>70443806
not at all, im just not a big fan of EDM due to its idk.. blandness? vocal buildup drop vocal buildup drop repeat. you're free to prove me wrong but every EDM song just sound the same to me desu

>>70443860
take a listen to this with an open mind. you might be sticking too hard with shit like the chainsmokers, skrillex, all that generic stuff. EDM has some gems if you stick around and give it a chance

EDM is awful. Americans have no clue what dance music is supposed to be like.

>>70443909
i've heard this track before, and i wouldn't call it gem when it has over 9 million views and has probably been played twice as much on the radio worldwide. it describes the problem i have with edm, it's very bland. this song could've easily been 30 seconds because after that it just repeats itself all over again.

>i'll depend on you
>drop
>slowed down
>build up
>i'll depend on you
>drop
>slowed down
>repeat

it just feels very braindead to me, i get it if you're at parties and it acts at background noise but actually listening to this as it is? not my cup of electronic music.

>>70444099
there's far more interesting electronic music and electronic dance music out there than the "EDM" shite that Americans eat up.

It's so cute. After creating house and techno in the 80s and rejecting it for being too black and gay for years, they finally have come around to this stuff in its most regurgitated, commercialized eurotrash deviation and started taking MDMA (or "pop a molly dude xD" as you say) and think they just discovered dance music and rave culture.

>>70443909
Extremely generic, repetitive, formulaic. I'd actually say Chainsmokers and Skrillex's older work is less generic than this.

It's good production-wise, but it's horrible songwriting.

>>70444099
i disagree anon but thanks for at least giving your opinion. although i agree that song i linked you "repeats", i guess i looked more into the lyrics and tried feeling the emotion. guess its just me. maybe try giving this one a try instead? it doesnt repeat, at least

https://soundcloud.com/whoskid/somewhere-far-away-from-here-ft-lolaby

>>70444165
if what youre saying is objective truth than idk why i like it so much. porter is my favorite artist and although that song is one of his most "generic and repetitive" tracks, i still look deeper into it and try to find a meaning. its my favorite song because i really like the lyrics and the use of a vocaloid

>>70444155
i'm a big fan of electronic music so i've pretty much listened to every electronic genre there is and EDM easily takes the place as the most generic bland braindead music i've every heard. and it's no wonder why it's played 24/7 on the radio, it acts perfectly as just background noise, you dont actually need to listen to it because you already know what it sounds like.

>>70444227
imo, you're in the wrong genre of music/electronic if you're looking for lyrics and emotion.
>https://soundcloud.com/whoskid/somewhere-far-away-from-here-ft-lolaby
better, but still has that build up drop build up drop i'm complaining about.
>i still look deeper into it and try to find a meaning
there's no meaning other than just pure lorem ipsum lyrics, this shit is meant to be played in the background when chad is fucking your highschool sweetheart.

>>70444475
i still disagree but i thank you for giving that song a chance. maybe our tastes are just too different

>>70444501
sure, and that's good! if everyone had the same taste it be pretty boring don't you think?
idk if you're into electronic music more than EDM but give these a listen

ryan's remix of wave racer's streamers was such a trainwreck lmao

>>70444686
since i dont recognize any of those names, you can tell im more into EDM. im only 18 so im still "developing" my taste i guess. ill admit im a "rave" type and go to festivals and all that jazz. im still young and like partying with friends and all that

reminder that if you dont produce you literally cannot enjoy EDM
>>70444741
please kill yourself

>>70444741
i'm just saying there's more greater things to electronic than edm. no need to recognize any of those names, it's just different types of electronic music. if you find any of them pleasing to listen to, keep digging further!

>>70443909
>tries to prove EDM isn't all shit
>posts fucking porter robinson

come on mate at least TRY. there is good EDM out there don't get me wrong. some EDM i've heard would set any club off the rails, but not this shit

Porter isn't underrated. His first album is. And speaking of that, remember when knife party made dubstep that was incredible and not big room?

>>70443860
There's always someone who makes some music you'll listen to on the way home. Alix Perez, Direct, foreign beggars, lenzman, pylot, etc. EDM is pretty broad

>>70444099
Repetition is always in edm. Daft punk did it. Your music always will do that. Riddim is easily so fucking repetitive, yet the beat will get going in these partys

>>70444563

you were always a normie for liking porter
its just sad that it was the shadow that is electro house porter that was the coolest

>>70444584
this is the gayest shit i've ever heard in my life

>>70445849
the release of spitfire was an absolutely incredible thing in the EDM scene that i feel like will never get the appreciation it deserves

it was skrillex putting forth a protege in his label, the same way deadmau5 did for him, and on it were the cumulative greatest contemporary artists, especially knife party who would bridge the gap between drum n bass, rock, and then fuckin edm

>>70446351

very close to being master-tier b8

porter is objectively good and if you disagree you have shit taste, its literally that simple.

prove me wrong

Film called Samsara. Highly recommended to watch in as high a resolution as you can find.

Different people have different tastes and want to discuss it with like-minded people. If you like Porter Robertson then that's cool, there will always be space for an /edm/ thread in /mu/ so you can explore more music on that style.

Look I get that you're young and so a bit insecure, that's normal, but there's really no need to be so spiky. Don't let other people's judgements get to you. In the same vein, you shouldn't attack or judge others sinply because they don't share the same taste as you. It's not fair to them and it does yourself a disservice.
