Theories on why so few women follow EDM?

Watcha got. I rememeber reading one time that men heavily preferred "instrumental" music in a study versus vocal music.

I believe another factor is if you're into EDM djing/producing/business (which is about 99% of EDM listeners now) you are without a doubt a confident person. I hate to generalize but women seem so insecure. Maybe that's another reason?

Regardless of it all, we need more hot b!tches listening to our music. We've got way too many chiefs and not enough female indians.

What do you guys think the problem is?

I can tell you that all those retards that add sexist lyrics to their tracks like " fuck da dj " or something similar doesn't help your cause.

lol... must I really begin to mention all the hotties listening to edm? They're not few, I can tell you that much.. There's not many women in this particular forum, but that doesn't mirror the general interest.

Yea.. sry for sounding so aggressive (if i did at all lol)... but.. I guess in my mind the problem brought up doesn't exist. I can see it potentially being different overseas though.

In my experience most (American) girls do not like instrumental music as much. Even my gf, who pretty much hates dance music, can stand tracks better if they have vocals.

I think there are fewer female producers because girls are generally not encouraged to get acquainted with electronics in any depth. Yeah they will use the net, iTunes, Facebook, instant messaging, but I think it is still seen as a bit weird and nerdy for them to go much deeper than that with technology.

the only place you can really hear good music in alot of places is gay clubs. So although I think djstephenwiley's thread sort of retarded and somewhat sexist , there is some truth in the female demography not being represented that well.

As to why it might be different overseas.. well I think you might be onto something yourself.. since EDM is not as popular in the US as R&B and hiphop.. you have to be more confident, unmindful and "different" to listen to it.

Agreed, as this doesn't only account for EDM, but all sound engineers and producers in general.

Most of the 'popular' culture over here likes Hip Hop and R&B. Electronic music is only a small segment of the population, and trance is an even smaller percentage of that. Heck, after the big club I worked at closed down, we didn't have another dance club open for 5 years.

Also someone else mentioned, the lack of vocals is probably a factor too. I tried getting some of my female friends interested in trance but they would say, "Oh techno..."

i know my gf hates EDM.

Hope you have some other common interests then?=p

It is possible to have a good relationship even if you dislike a majority of each other's music. :-)

Ah.. yea.. I'd hope so :P

To be honest I know I wouldn't handle it though.. It's just too big a part of my life.

EDM accounts for about 10% of the music I listen to . It is a very small part of my life. Why I post here so much ? I am on vacation and i couldn't be bothered to sign up to any other sites. I'm also hoping that Chrono will make a return.

Ah.. Then it's ok I guess :P

Well I listen to all kinds of music myself.. but, I got to admit it's edm most of the time. Also, the other genre which is really close to my heart is electronica, which is not strictly dance music either.

i follow :P

but yeah, i noticed that too. most woman sucks at technical things and music (not just producing, also digging) somehow is a technical thing.

Here in LA EDM events are a cockfest.

I play at a mainstream club where most of our customers are girls. I can get away with EDM as long as it's cheesy catchy a la Bennasi, Guetta, Sinclair, etc. Girls like that. The new Black Eye Pease crossover stuff is working wonders with girls on the mainstream too.

They like songs that tell love stories. Remember, girls are very sentimental. They don't like their music to be too EDMish. That's why big producers make a radio friendly, more mellow, streamlined song and a club version that just goes all wild.

They like cheese. That's why Tiesto pulls a lot of girls, because he knows exactly what they like. He makes his albums for girls not guys.

Also, girls like to shake their booty with their friends. So since in the US most people aren't into EDM, girls tend to go where their friends go... Mainstream clubs.

Not many girls here.

i think it comes down to sex appeal hence why for the most part birds like RnB its fashionable and they can relate to it.

but on the flip side i often see and know a lot off birds who like trance and house,they also like a good dance in a club or venue like us guys.

That is very true. Belive it or not, promoters have a lot to do with it. At my club, most of the promoters are very good looking guys and are always clean cut. They are the kind of guys that just like to have tons of chicks with them at all times. Girls follow them.

Because EDM mostly suck and woman aint nerdy enough to look deeper for the good stuff, they want it served, so they go listen to RNB where everythings slapped in your face and they can sing along emidiately. Also woman wants to be glamourous and feel ackward next to looser-hooligans hardcore ravers without teeths because of too much freebase. Also woman wants to hang around providers which edm fans aint, most of them are broke muther******s without any social antennas at all. Some sort of house music lately has changed though, it sucks more ass than ever but it seems to work on the womans, probably for the same reasons as hip hop does. no woman really likes hip hop but they think the hiphoppers are rich and then they like it. its all about money, womans are where the money is at.

Girls like RnB, House and Hard House/Happy Hardcore. I believe it's because you can weary fluffy clothes

All I know is anytime I go to a bar/club I see tons of bitches, and theres usually EDM being played along with other genres. But women go particulary crazy over the 80s remixes I notice..
