I think I finally figured out what it is about EDM that leaves my luke warm. It is because it never seems to arrive at anything. Most songs in other genres have a start, middle, end construct the same as a story, but EDM doesnāt, leaving me unfulfilled at the end. While I can get lost in the music the same as anyone, I keep wondering will it crescendo and it just never does.
no
A mindset thing then.

Possibly. I have had good nights out with it playing in the clubs, but it has never really got me in.
Where you sober and clear headed at the time?
Itās true, as most tracks are meant to be played in a dj set from 1 to 4 hours.
The best djs create the start middle and end over the whole set. The medium is a different time frame to individual songs made for the radio.

Drunk, but not high. Can honestly say I never have been. Never used anything other than alcohol.
Nice explanation. Could be why it doesnāt sit well in isolation.
free yes

EDM is such a generic term for electronic musicā¦in other words it bad electronic music for the masses who just think that its the bombā¦a bit like stock aitken and waterman going back to to the 80āsā¦
its a mere shadow of itself ā¦kraftwerk says helloā¦
Iāll be honest and say I donāt know enough about the genre and havenāt listened to enough to be able to tell you which area it comes from. I use EDM interchangeably with doof doof music as a catchall phrase, without negative or positive connotations, much the same as I talk about country, another catch all phrase for multiple genres.
I can honestly say that my appreciation of EDM only came about because I dabbled in the finer aspects of its party scene.
Had I never done that, I quite likely would have been almost Swoodley-like in my dislike for it.
I donāt dislike it per se, rather it doesnāt engage me the way other genres do.
playing for an hour is like going to macdonalds for a saladā¦ithe art forn of playing records has been hugely diminished by technologyā¦i was taught to play records by a friend who DMC dj champion taught to play in keyā¦
i bet 60% of deejays cant beat mix without tracktor or some other helping hand.
I can get that.
Despite the fact that some of the most fun Iāve ever had in my life was at raves or dance (i.e drug) festivals, it was never the same level of āmusical appreciationā that Iād get at a rock gig.
I reckon I can remember every rock band Iāve ever seen live, but geez there would be 100ās of DJs I saw who I have no farkin idea who they were, even though I had a ball seeing them.
