EDM is only music played/produced by DJs who perform at Ultra

Don't you fuckers get it?

The entire genre of electronica is commercial, all electronica is EDM, as it's objectively inferior/cheaper music. It's our degenerate plebeian /mu/ that has tried to make us believe EDM is an "essential" genre and that if you don't like it you must be "narrow-minded", a "rockist" who listens exclusively to "twings and twangs" and there's probably some racial element to it too. EDM music has no staying power. All of EDM is just a neo-disco sub-genre of top-40 pop, with a "mechanical" paint job. This music doesn't stand the test of time, it's a fad. That's why EDM producers are discussed about like fashion. Image/fashion/numbers sold are actually considered when talking about them. EDM is just a really cheap/lazy form of music anyways. The majority of EDM beats are just stealing (MUHH "SAMPLING") another artist's music, looping it over a generic drumbeat while someone throws preset synths over it. The "technical aspects" of EDM are not hard at all. That's why there's 14 year old white girls on YouTube uploading themselves mixing with ease and speed, dropping polyrhythms like it's nothing. But because they don't fit the image of a "EDM fan", no one would take seriously. I've listened to it all from backpacker shit like Basic Channel and Deepchord to the "golden days" of Derrick May and Frankie Knuckles to revival stuff like Mall Grab and Delroy Edwards to the 90s with 4hero and Omi Trio to the CLT approved Mouse on Mars and Autechre to today like DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn. All electronica is EDM. All of it. Stop spamming it. Either keep it contained into one threads or request a containment board. I'm sick of coming on /mu/ and seeing a million DJ Rashad threads (none of which are about music btw).

Objectively false.

Music made from electronic instruments and sources is the future, there's a reason kids want to learn FL studio over a piano. The music industry is changing and electronic music is only going to get bigger. Yes EDM is made for dancing at festivals but that's all disco was too a musical escape from everyday life. I hate hearing you fucking elitists with this anti electronic attitude it's completely insane. Music will never be the same it was 10 years ago, and electronica will only be getting bigger. So many electronic artists that you don't hear about are serious jazz or classical musicians who made the change because that's what the world is like now

When will this end.

When producers stop releasing them on them.

Its not like someone stole their HDD and made an album from all their music, THEY did it.

The oppressive machinations of rockism has put a great stigma on listening to single tracks rather than albums. We need to DESTROY rockism

It wouldn't be a problem if they weren't mostly shit or literally compilations. I can think of only a handful of producers who have produced better work on their LPs than their 12"s/EPs/mixes/whatever.

digital won't completely take over analog because it just won't sound as warm, but i do agree i hate elitists that are afraid of change.
