Oh snap Brits were into Trance in the late 90s and early 2000s! No poo poo but that isn't what I'm talking about why don't you read the words before you just decide things are either popular or not like it's a binary thing.

You're kind of a double moron here because obviously EDM was super popular in the late 90s before it faded away and had a resurgence again in the late 2000s so you're talking about 2 totally different time periods. And yes, by the way, it was getting 'mainstream' during then as well. Just look at TV shows like the X-files where they are in dance clubs and raves and talking to goth/club kids.

Again: obviously people listened to EDM, it's always been 'popular,' but 2010 is when the decent parties started drying up in favor of massive events and every Dick and Jane company had EDM drops in their advertising material and all the US Top 20 artists started working with trance artists.

All I'm saying is I can't wait until the next music fad really takes off so there are more small underground parties again.

My hot take- I agree generally that electronic music seems to be the way, for now, that things are headed, as it gives you the most range in sound with the least amount of investment - if you're into piracy it's the cost of a CPU that can adequately run this stuff, and you don't need a supercomputer for 99% of music projects.

That said I think EDM is kinda loving lame, generally. I like stuff that's still exploring darker/harder themes, with one foot firmly in the past.

Those top charts are more and more meaningless every year since they are mostly based on units sold in an era where piracy is rampant and no one is buying albums.

Realtalk here the thing I like about electronic music in general is it runs so much of a spectrum with so many styles. Want to just chill out and go an LSD journey? Tipper. Want to go balls out party style all aggressive while on Amphetamines? Excision. Want to just have a great time dancing on the weekend to some sweet lights while dropping Molly? House music. Sometimes you want fun poppy poo poo like Chainsmokers, and sometimes you want some neat synth poo poo like Carpenter Brut.

There's some sort of common theme but I can't tell what it is yet.

yeah but that's an entirely semantic category so the spectrum is meaningless. it's like if we classed all primarily guitar driven music together and said wow, this genre has such a big range.

There's some sort of common theme but I can't tell what it is yet.

Usually I find that there's a big split in electronic music by drum pattern. Since any kind of song from the trippy to the dark may ultimately rely on some very similar sampling, similar keys, that sort of thing, rhythm can totally alter how a song feels, and is frequently the deciding factor in whether or not a genre is dance-friendly or not. I would say you can groove to something like carpenter brut fine, but you'll have a harder time on it than something that loyally keeps a dance beat. The difference between "real" dubstep and "brostep" tends to be whether or not it's abiding by the traditional dubstep rhythm, which isn't terribly dance friendly, and some people argue the LFO "bass drop" type sound effects are annoying and belong in the other camp.

The way to define these genres is pretty different than played music. It really feels like division of subgenres than the fairly radical differences between real genres. The differences in played music can rely on composition of players and instruments. Like a string quartet, a standard rock band, metal band, pop groups, all call for different setups. Different Rhythms. Different tempos, and the electronic world doesn't have that physical restriction, so it's really weird how different electronic music types can seem entirely separate if you compare the extreme ends of the spectrum, but it's still a spectrum that's fairly unique to itself and you could probably assemble a playlist that eases you from happy hardcore and acid house to Carpenter Brut in a few songs.

The only electronica stuff I listen to is Electro swing, Celldweller, and remixing of things like spooky scary skeletons.

Music is a individual and cultural preference, not a good or bad.

That said EDM is dumb, musically and culturally, but it has enough hot girls suckered into it that it survives.

I promised myself to never do it again really. I think it was 2011 last time I did it, and I hate a great time. 2nd best roll of my life. I was utterly satisfied and I dunno... tired of doing it. I never did E/Molly/whatever very much, maybe half a dozen times from 2009-2011, but i'm pretty full up. I'm 26 now and in a lot worse shape. I'm watching my parents fall apart from congenital heart problems that I don't have but who knows what i've got going on... I just can't gently caress with that stuff anymore.

IF I ever do molly again, it will be an amazingly convenient set of circumstances that would allow it, and I'm definitely not looking and I don't associate with that crowd at all anymore.

I'm only saying for the sake of a counter to the "Lol it's all bad" shitposting retards. I think EDM is probably a majority of a terrible genre when you're sober but it absolutely works on uppers, but the fact is drugs change your perceptions and well, what's lovely to me sober is excellent when I'm hosed up.

Also dude, what kind of weirdos play folk music while rolling? What the gently caress? Folk music is way too brainy for that drug. gently caress those people. I'd rather roll with no music tbh.
