I have been a fan of electronic music well before this wave of EDM came about in the U.S, and I had always used the term edm as a blanket term for all the main genres of dance music (house, trance, techno, jungle/dnb, hardcore, etc). However I'm just wondering as to why it seems as though the media, and the fans (mainly in the u.s.) are treating this "EDM" as if it is separate from those genres and it's own genre of music. Almost as if dance music never existed before and it's now some new ground breaking genre. Can anyone shed any light on this?
I'm a firm believer that electronic music has always been underground music by nature, and that's where it thrives. The recent rise of edm seems very unnatural to me, and I worry about the affects it will have on dance music as a whole when it inevitably crashes. What are your thoughts?
