To be fair, you probably haven't heard actual really good EDM (and goddamn I hate that term). Sub-genres of electronic are so different it's not even funny, although they're not sub-genres anymore. You have Ambient/Downtempo, Drum N Bass, Jungle, Electro, Electronica, Hardcore, Hardstyle, House, IDM, Techno, Trance, and Garage as your main genres. Then once you get into those, there's just sooo many sub-genres. Some are very different than each other, and then sometimes you have a genre that's defined pretty much just by a specific sound the bassline is, or just by the way the snare or hi hat rhythm is "lined up" with the bassline. In addition, Jungle and DnB are very similar anyways, to the point that someone without listening to much of either would have a hard time distinguishing between the two, myself included. Techno and House are very similar in structure, except that Techno as a whole is more massive, deeper, darker, etc. And of course you have your mixes like Electro House.
IMO the "best" genres as a whole are House, Techno, and Trance. Although I am very partial to Ambient, IDM, Garage, and Jungle/DnB (gotta be in the mood).
House is what started it all, has always been the biggest, and will always be the biggest, for good reason. House music has a feeling to it, an inert danciness and groove that can never be replicated. There's sooo many sub-genres and sooo much music out there it's ridiculous. So, it's the obvious example (also, not doing this in order of what sub-genres I like, or what's best, just what I can easily and quickly demonstrate):
First off because it's a perfect example of a sub-genre being defined by one sound: Future House. This sound right here: Tchami, Oliver Heldens. This is blowing up right now, but IMO, could run into a quick death if the sound isn't expanded on and used as more than a way to have a intro>drop>breakdown>drop (basically, formulaic) song where people don't mind because the sound is so cool.
Deep House is set to be the next "EDM" fad in the US, taking over the shit genre that is trap. As used now, it's a term for the sound of the bassline, but used to be used for soulful, jazzy, "deep" house. Modern connotation heard here: Maya Jane Coles, Eats Everything, B.G. Baarregaard and then in terms of the sound about to go mainstream, Amtrac, which while getting close to epitomizing the emerging sound, is a great track, and Amtrac is actually a top notch producer (couldn't associated his name with mainstream without a caveat)
Acid House, defined by this song pretty much, synth from a TB-303 synth: Phuture
Electro House (which I don't really like or know, but this is perfect): some rando mix
Festival/Big Room House (pretty recent, also shit because of how it's all the same): Martin Garrix
Now, what I like to generally call soulful love everything and everyone in the original spirit of house, house: Oliver $ / Jimi Jules, Ben Pearce, https://soundcloud.com/ampm-live/am2pm-my-feelin-preview(this one has a bassline like you'd associate with modern deep house, but the heavy use of hi-hats, the vocals, and a couple other things would bar me from calling it deep house, dh is really an overplayed generalized term at this point anyways). But really, this category I have in my head is made up of good ole regular house, jackin house, chicago house, etc. basically anything with the late 80's-90s feel) Oh and here's some OG house to give you an idea of where it all came from: Ecstacy, Global Communication
It's hard to enjoy without dancing if you don't have a love for it. Find some video of people dancing to house music like this Doncaster Warehouse tribute video. There's no "way" to dance to house music except however your body decides it feels best to move to the 4x4 rhythm.
It really is a beautiful thing to be in a club or at a stage at a festival dancing your ass off like there's no tomorrow, completely surrounded by people doing the same, loving life, loving you, everyone together basically. I don't think it's possible for the communal feeling to be replicated by any other type of music to be honest (and that's from someone who has a deep appreciation for psychedelic and otherwise groovy rock) simply because you're literally, physically, in sync and in tune with everyone around you and releasing natural endorphins because of it. It's a bonding experience for sure.
So yes, I love house. Yes, I just spent 1.5 hours on this post. And yes, I will cry if no-one that doesn't know about electronic music takes the time to listen to the differences in just house alone with the links I shared.
i took the rest so i only took maybe 100-110mg
