It helps filter out the kind of people who would be superficial enough to reject music because it had a "geek" image. Fuck creating a glitzy and inviting "cool" aura for the comfort of people who want to use music as a "fashion statement" and join a crowd in fawning over some "star." Those types can and should stay away. The music and the club environment will only be the better for it.  |

I'm not necessarily taking sides here, but...
... that guy did make Spastik.
Hip Hop artists are geeks too by that logic.
yeah, a lot of hip hop producers are...
rappers are mostly front men, not producers
grandmaster flash thought of himself as a sort of scientist doing experiments when he deejayed

Indeed producing EDM is geeky. It involves spending much more time on a computer and learning to handle software than most people who only get to their computer to check facebook and email.
The pionners (Kraftwerk, like the image posted by Ishkur) were all real geeks. The guys who invented the first drum machines were all geeks.
However, I think not of a geek in a pejorative way.
There is a big difference between Dungeons & Dragons geek and Music Production geek

Lately it has become less of a geek thing.
Which is probably what has led to the massive influx of crappy music in the last couple of years.
Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Scott Storch, and countless amounts of other people sit around and do the same thing to make rap music at times and they're profession isn't considered geeky at all....
...hell, some of them consider it "gangsta"
I used to produce rap instrumentals, and from my opinion, producing EDM deserves a greater amount of respect than just punching out melodies and sequencing as the rap industry does. You put a lot more into making EDM because, in the case of most EDM genres, you are trying to put emotions into the music and give the listener a feeling of being somewhere else and releasing them from their present state of being. Also, all the work that goes into automation and mastering is something that I can see as a true art.
Time consuming?
Frustrating at times?
.....yes!
But the reward of actually having a listener/fan tell you about the experience that they get from listening to such a track is instant gold and well worth the hard work and dedication!
edit: Last but not least, look at the array of EDM producers out there and you can see how they will differ....some may be geeks...but to certain fans....some are gods.
hah stereotypes
