We always discuss about Rock & Hip-Hop musics, but never on EDM I think. I often don't get into the genre myself, but Deadmau5 is the only artist I can get into EDM. Just wondering what this place thinks of EDM.

Is dubstep a sub-genre of EDM? I tried listening to Deadmau5 awhile back and couldn't get into it. I thought his stuff was dubstep and I hate dubstep.

I do listen to synthwave (Mega Drive, Lazerhawk, Mitch Murder), which is a form of electronic music. Maybe that's a sub-genre of EDM??

Yes, a lot back in the day. Armin, Tiesto, Oakenfold, PVD, Daft Punk, ATB, Alice Deejay, and a bunch of others back in my party/clubbing days. I've seen several of these artists live over the years. I was less into Jungle but I liked stuff like AK1200. Also less into dubstep which came later but Skrillex and Deadmau5 were fun.

These days I'm more into Synthwave as well. I was listening to it before I even realized it was a genre.

Yeah, I like trance. Drum and bass occasionally, too.

I used to, but when house transitioned to euro - it was over for me.

I also find current edm to have no talent or soul.

Nope. Way to repetitive.

No. I can't stand it, I like old-school rap, underground rap, pop/rock/alternative. Anything but Country and EDM.

Yes I do, I'm a big fan of the combination of Dance/Soul

But as of late I've been listening to Romanian EDM, a lot is generally pretty crappy and shallow but I like the bass thumps they deliver 😄

Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, ATB...

Enough that when Spotify suggests playlists for me, they are apparently heavy with edm...

I like classic EDM. For example, electro, classic house, deep house, techno, tech house, jungle, drum & bass, and dancehall.

I'm not really that into modern EDM, however. For example, dubstep, brostep, and trap.

I like the sound of the Roland TR-808 and TR-909 drum machines, which is pretty much what you hear in virtually all EDM. However, modern EDM uses heavy filtered 808 and 909 software samples, whereas classic EDM used authentic 808 and 909 hardware (which are rare these days).
