your electronic genres

[psychoc&ndy]

what is your favorite

[marooko]

why the fuck would you combine techno with trance?!?!?! thats a fucking slap in the face of techno. you should be hung.

[Donaldj]

You're missing a bunch.

breaks, dubstep, pystrance, tech-house, idm, minimal techno for starters.

[Wheres the beef?]

Why would you not let me choose more than one? Why is it not public?

almost agree with you. those can all be considered sub-genres except maybe breaks and dub-step can probably go under that.

[luckyface]

She is asking you to pick from those choices.

[SFChrissy]

we need to be able to make multiple selections...phucking polls...ppppllllrrr!!! I've been enjoying more trip-hop lately...

[marooko]

i wanna vote, but im pissed about techno/trance. thats fucking bullshit!!

[BlackSwan]

no IDM = fail.

[marooko]

wouldnt IDM be considered a sub?

[BlackSwan]

wouldnt IDM be considered a sub?

of what...? techno? dance music? I think it's earned the right the be a genre.

[marooko]

maybe ambient? or maybe the other way around. but i dont like that idea.

[Jon Blazed]

Can someone break down the genres for me?

[Donaldj]

maybe ambient? or maybe the other way around. but i dont like that idea.

stadium/epic Trance and psytrance have almost nothing in common. There are tons of people out there who love psytrance but hate Tiesto style epic trance. I'd say IDM and Ambient are two totally different genres too. When I think of Ambient I think beatless soundscapes like Tangerine Dream, Vangellis, FSOL's lifeforms etc. IDM on the other hand is generally a lot more beat oriented even if those beats are abstract. I'd say Trip-Hop is almost a sub genre of IDM than IDM a sub genre of Ambient.

I was under the impression the first artists considered IDM were pretty much post-techno... and based on the differences between techno and IDM I don't think it makes too much sense to lump IDM under techno. Also, since there are so many elements of other genres utilized by IDM artists it would be hard to put it into a sub-genre of any one in this list.

ill go along with that.

I never payed attention to the then IDM sub genre. Ive always hated subs, they just cloud everything up. but considering what ive recently read, i would have to agree that IDM could be its own genre.

[BlackSwan]

and on another note.... hip hop?

[marooko]

seriously

[guest-1185]

Could someone please post a basic rundown of the different electronic genres with examples of DJs? Thanks a ton.

[marooko]

not easy to simplify.

[chairmenmeow47]

DRUM AND BASS MASSIVE, BOH, CHECK CHECK INSIDE THE ARENA!

oh look, no one voted for dub as their favourite. surprise. and no one even cares about hardcore, even bigger surprise

sad to see no electro though

[Hopeless Semantic]

Yeah, I'm still trying to find out why HipHop is even in this poll...

[marooko]

sub

good point, I love lots of psytrance, but feel that Tiesto style trance is for the retarded mostly...no offense to the retarded among us

[Quadromarshia]

I'm boycotting this poll.

Well there's a good chance that Tiesto himself, is retarded.

[chairmenmeow47]

deep dish is the only trance off-hand i can think of that i like. and that's only because i saw them at EDC last year and they put on a phenomenal show in the coliseum. the lighting and the music were so synched. it was amazing.

not a big trance fan though. some progressive, some psy and maybe even a little goa is alright. but it's pretty boring in my opinion.

i'm more of a dnb/jungle, electro, breaks girl myself. but i was more into hip-hop and ska before electronic music, so that makes sense. i like seeing what bands people like compared to what electronic music they like.

[marooko]

<----------HOUSE HEAD ALL THE WAY!! But i got mad love for the drum & bass, jungle and breaks.

FUCK TRANCE!!!!!!!!!

[SFChrissy]

Cause these are the breaks!!!

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

this should have been multi choice...
