How many EDM fans in the world?

I mean real fans that buy cds/mp3s and know what they listen to.

My estimation: 100 millions (without any logical reasons).

Who cares anyway?

Yea who cares. And anyway, the fact that there are more now doesn't say anything about the quality of music itself. Whilst some will equate the quantity of artists and people(listening to EDM)with genre growth and development,IMO this is not so. EDM's quality has unfortunately declined in comparison to previous years. the fact that something is popular doesn't imply that it is good. Ok, now this is irrelevant to the thread but i just wanted to get it out.

ebm can be pop but pop can't be ebm.

pop is made electronicly,it's supose to make you dance, but it's not music?

Posted by SYSTEM-J on Feb-05-2007 01:00:

Actually, pop music throughout the last twenty or so years has very frequently borrowed from dance music, and can so be effectively considered dance music. Just look at Madonna's discography.

I care. I've always wondered whether EDM listeners could be considered as a sociologic group or not.

Posted by Hydarnes on Feb-05-2007 18:05:

Not many, compared to other genres. I guess that's a good thing, but also a bad thing.

I believe they could. They're well organised around common interests, a few common identities, values and rituals, and, in spite of the diversity, there might common norms also.

If you ask Wikipedia you might find out that, yeah, they could be considered a sociological group

Okay I'm sorry...my curiosity caused me to imagine what might have ensued.
