Re: EDM
I listen to more electronic music than I do noise these days, but it's more IDM and breakcore than EDM.
There's a reason so much generic EDM exists; partly because it's handier to churn out tracks and get them played that night than it is to slave like a moron, and partly because live DJs find it easier to mix them when there's not wild changes in tempo or sound. I used to VJ for a local hardcore techno night, for every Angerfist, there's several dozen artists without the technical or musical know how yet. For every Ladyscraper in breakcore, there's another several dozen. Same with Tourette and cut up noise, but on a smaller scale. That's just how it is.

Re: EDM
EDM or IDM or EBM or IBM???
personally way prefer EBN
saw them like 91-92??? at Metro in Chicago
had/have the CD with their oldschool Mac video mixing software...
actually honestly probably still have it buried somewhere
all the subgenre acronyms have gotten AAFIMHO(Absurd As Fuck In My Honest Opinion)
seriously... EBN was fucking Phantastique live show...
spent years deconstructing that video editing/mixing method & mutating it...
Our entire inner circle was massively effected by EBN.

google conceptual / performance art and electronic music, if you're so hung up on that.
The snobbery is all yours, I said I liked the stuff.
No need to google what I've took part in...
My bad, thought we could discuss a topic. Goodnight.

Re: EDM
EDM is a coverall term used by others, like "music". Another term, Trance Music, again a general term. So I gave two examples, Cosmic gate, and Above and beyond, as examples. That is the phenomena I was discussing. I happen to like it. I also expressed an idea about its immediacy. Not its stupidity. One cant listen to EDM only examples, just as one cant ride a Horse only an example.WhiteWarlock wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2020 3:02 pmYou can discuss it...JLIAT wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:53 pmWho used the word stupid - you did.Social_Drift wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2020 12:54 pm nonsense.... and total snobbery -- look at all the stupid people dancing.

Now to think the category is some how more important is generally now thought a mistake. They are not, like Dobin and Cosmic Gate "real".
I did DJ at college, Define DJ, I played records at a college dance. And I was always more Beatles than Stones, but Brown sugar would get everyone on the floor. As would itchicoo park. Sanatana were good, but long and would not fill the floor, useful though we could go have a pee and a beer.
Its late I cant sleep, vomiting despite nil by mouth for 50 hrs...
So Aristotle was the category guy. He said there were categories like, Horse, or EDM which individual stuff would fit. Ergo botany and biology's categories, or those in record stores - Hip Hop, Metal...etc.
SNAG. It doesn't work like that, There is individual things with similarities, like Heavy Metalness, or Horseness, bit the definitions are convenient fictions. So now rather than hard and fast definitions there are bell curves. Some humans are male others female, but at the extremes these definitions don't work. Even at chromosome level. And these days some humans choose to change their sex. So its not fixed.
So not exact definition, but a general agreement. Which is why to some Vomir is not music, to others it is.
Just as you cant make a WMD. You can make a thing called little boy and detonate it above a city.
