What does /r9k/ think of edm? I'm considering attending EDC in Las Vegas this summer. Currently going through the line up and creating a playlist of the DJs I like.

Electronic music is good but edm is basically the pop of electronic music and therefore for normies
>>36309061
edm just stands for electronic dance music...
>>36309134
>Electronic music
This is the overarching genre
Examples of the same magnitude: Rock, Country, Hip Hop
>electronic dance music (EDM)
This is a sub-sub category.
Examples of the same magnitude: Hair Metal, Americana, Alternative Folk

well i'm talking particularly about dance music..

The entire scene is basically dead at this point.
Prepare to spend way too much money and be surrounded by rampant (underaged) whores and normies freaking out on bathsalt-tier drugs.
That being said...if you have lots of money to blow and lots of friends to go with, you can still have a decent time.
The first poster was correct, EDM is basically pop-electronic shitty music. The point of going to these shows is to be high and kill braincells with friends and sloots.

Pretty much agree with >>36309363
Too many stupid normies and underage ruined EDC for LA. People who don't know shit will usually say EDM to refer to any subgenre of electronic dance music since they can't differentiate between techno and electro house.

I know it does but that label was invented to commercialize electronic music.When people use the term edm it refers to the commercialized electronic pop music.
