Stop saying "electronic music"

How about "Electronica"?

"EDM"?

>>71428951
This is the only academically accepted term

>>71428703
Make me

>>71428703
How else will I tell normies the genre of music I produce

>>71428703
electronic music

>>71429303
The biggest irony is that the garbage Stockhausen peddled can't be called music

>>71429303
That's a cool collection. The liner notes have the graphic notation for Kontakte. Definitely worth getting the physical copy if it's a good price.

>>71429073
>electronic music
>genre of music
is "violin music" a genre of music too? how about "acoustic music"?

can too
and it is, by anyone with a course knowledge in 20th century art music

Wouldn't you say that the instruments he experimented with and recording technology was in its infancy back then? Luigi Russolo did in the 20's.

This is as groundbreaking and futuristic as it gets.

Both of those are things if they're played solely with an acoustic guitar or a violin

>>71429343
true

>>71429484
the irony is that anyone with actual knowledge in art music won't call it music

>muh twinkly mid western emotional hard-core punk rock
>muh meloldic Norweigen death metal
>muh 3rd wave progressive post-rock

So The Prodigy aren't electronic music because they have guitarists and a drummer these days?

>>71429303
there are really only three genres

>art music
notated and interpreted by professional musicians
>popular music
recorded once, mass produced as concise units to be marketed and sold
>traditional folk music
preserved through oral tradition and amateur playing at social gatherings

stocky falls under art music

>>71430145
Yes exactly

>>71430337
Right, so it's only electronic music if they ONLY use electronic instruments? What about vocals?

>>71430421
Yeah pretty much
Adding vocals changes the genre

>>71430450
So jungle, d&b, breakcore, vocal trance and grime aren't. Or synthpop. And quite a bit of house.

Just pre-60s then really.

>>71430511
Yes.

>>71430511
Samples aren't vocals if that's what you mean
Electronic music with true vocals isn't electronic music this is an easy concept to grasp

>>71430625
All those have non-sampled vocals so noted, none are electronic music, thanks.

>>71430688
You literally called one of them synthpop which is a genre of its own
At least you're learning even if it's sarcastically

>>71430730
All of them are their own genres, just the same as synthpop though.

>>71430755
Yes that's beside the point
The point is electronic music is also it's own genre

>>71430974
Really because I checked Wikipedia, allmusic, RYM, Grove and last.fm and none say it is, they all say it's just a production method.

just shut the fuck up nerd no need to embarrass yourself any further
look we all know you´re a fucking geek and want people to use your special safe space words like IDM so that you feel intellectually superior over liking shit music in a dying right wing websites like 4chuun, that doesnt make you one

>>71429016
gross

>>71431229
IDM is a meaningless label.

Techno, house, breaks... they're genres like punk or metal, learn them as the 35 years of music within those genres are varied.

>>71431099
Electronic production is different from "electronic" the genre

>>71431229
The type of people who hate the term "electronic music" almost always hate "IDM" too

>>71431229

yeah I pretty much immediately discard somebody's opinion entirely if they spout this

>>71428703
I will say electronic and dance to post african repetitions as much as I want. Thank you very much, Dj stocky.

>>71431406
But nowhere on the internet says electronic is a genre. Can you link somewhere that does?

>>71431468
Discogs

>>71431557
Aren't an authority on anything, it's just a database

>>71431440
so aphex twin is intellectual huh? smart dance? you´re gonna tip fedoras in the audience while discussing j.k. rowling books or just get shitfaced like everyone else?

>>71431603
So you're telling me that the website in charge of sorting albums into genres for easy access to consumers isn't responsible for correctly labeling albums?
Next you're going to be telling me musicians shouldn't produce their own music because that's the producers job

>>71429343
it intentionally "didnt make sense"
he was experimenting with new tech and laying ground for future development

>>71431706
A random database is not an authority on anything more than r/music is.

>>71431735
It's not random it's a self-sustaining internet trading/collecting forum
And it has more authority than a bunch of dumb teens on a music rating site

>>71431910
Reddit has more credibility though, the richest man in the world did an AMA just the other day. More credible than a bunch of vinyl collecting hipsters.

>>71432032
Reddit thinks electronic is a genre

>>71432098
Both are retarded

>>71432194
What? I thought Reddit was a good source cause they got some rich guy
Make up your mind

>techtronica

I can't be more descriptive than that
