That's pretty much it.

Originally posted by DigiNut ...which is a totally stupid phrase. To 99% of the world it's all just "techno", and to the 1% who actually go "EDM" events it's completely meaningless because DnB is not even in the same ballpark as house music. Effectively it ends up being little more than a buzzword used by electronic music elitists to declare otherness. It symbolizes everything normal people hate about that crowd, the tacit acknowledgment that all of the subgenres are indistinguishable to outsiders along with the subtle insinuation that this somehow confers superiority to the insiders. Or maybe not. Maybe it's just an honest but pathetic attempt to lump together a bunch of genres under one umbrella that sound vaguely similar but actually have completely different styles, tempos, origins, and influences. Nobody can actually agree on what EDM is. Is chillout EDM? Acid jazz? Ambient? Does it have to be all electronic or can it have real instruments, and if it's the latter, doesn't a lot of pop music qualify? It's impossible to pin down. Moral of the story: The acronym EDM is bullshit. At least the word "beats" actually tells you something semi-useful about it (i.e. that its main focus is... beats... which it is.)

No name will account for everything, but i think Electronic Dance Music is pretty damn good. Beats means nothing. A beat is pulse which all music has. It may mean something to some people, i don't see anything elitist about EDM. IDM is a different matter.

I prefer calling it love music or euphoria.

"No need to learn boring music theory."

Fucking disgusting. But I bet whatever genius made this is making a decent amount of $$. But, to be fair, that $$ will last only a year or so until the next POS to profit off of idiots is released.

makes you wonder who bites tho. Sort of like those nigerian scams. I mean it must work. But to be honest, i can't think of anyone over the age of 8 that would be turned on by this.

I think a lot of gimps who think all the latest shit that's out these days is cutting edge and cool (even though to me it sounds like its all gone backwards musically from what was around 7-14 even 21 years ago) will be wanking themselves silly over stuff like this.
you know the ones who dont't give a shit about the music just how many bitches and phat rides they can see from it.

I stopped watching about halfway through I was either going to piss myself laughing or stick my first through the screen

''There is almost no learning curve at all. Every song you make will be a banger! ''

My first attempt at a track

Hypnotic Dreams - Classic Prog Trance mix
Eternal Sound - Progressive Trance mix
One for the Underground - Dark Progressive mix

that is the thing tho,

dumb people get the software their idols use. Dumb people think the DAW actually matters more than it does and dumb people tend to know how to download as well so it isn't like they would buy something anyways. So i don't see who this is aimed towards. Kids that then nag their parents ? That is about the only group i can think of.
