i was wondering.... what are the different genres/styles. There are so many, so how can you tell the differences between the genres. Here is how i like to look at it.


It starts with what i like to call a super-genre which in this case would be electric/electronic/electronidca.

After this comes the genres. for example: trance, house, techno, etc.

then comes the sub genres. These would be Acid trance, Hard House, etc.

Finally is what i like to call the nano genres. These nano-genres classify a genre or subgenre with a style. Example: Chicago Style Hard House.

Does that make sense? How can you tell the differences though? Also what kinds of music do you like?

Have fun, and read the disclaimers!


I myself use labels as a means of convenient access and easy classifcation. But by no means do I use them to box in the music I enjoy. I listen to a wide variety of electronic and non-electronic music, as I love diversity.

its a decent guide but this ishkur guy seems like kindof a prick... he is too opinionated and seems to dislike the electronic genre more than like it, consideing 90 percent of what he says is kind of pessimistic. He may be knowledgable but he still seems like a little bit of a choch bag.

i quote ishkur's guide "Let it be said that electronic music NEVER learns how to "leave the audience wanting more". Instead, like a spoiled, immature little child, it shamelessly and greedily exploits any whiff of success it sees, to cartoonish extremes."

i rest my case. This guy can eat the two foot long duece i dropped the other day. He's a striaght-up ass. How can he say that when there are huge venues like gatecrashers with the biggest DJs/producers in the world who leave the crowd want nothing BUT more. Wow...

all i can use his guide for is finding more great artists and maybe learn a history lesson here and there.

I KNOW im not the first person to think this guy is a douche nozzle.

He posts here on Tranceaddict...

thats good... i want him to know what i think of him. He puts down too many kinds of music. Instead of imbrasing ALL great electronic music, he said good things about only a few subgenres. It's his opinion and im not putting his opinion down, but i dont think he should try to put down so music. The guide is great to find what music comes from where and to hear some examples, but all of his explanations are all of his opinion rather than fact. Rather than giving info about the genre, he pretty much just says how much he hates it and why.

JUST EXPLAIN THE GENRE, ITS SOUND, AND ITS CONNECTION. NAME A FEW NOTABLE FIGURES IN THE GENRE AND BE DONE WITH IT. too much hate for the music, not enough embrase.

And dont be mad at me. Im only 16 and it just so happens that I am quite the opinionated asshole too.

No, he shows the genres in their true colors, you should be kissing his ass for giving you this entire thing, and you having it at your fingertips, once you treat your n00b syndrome you will most likely see most things like Ishkur does, so get over it.

so by this rationale, the more you learn about EDM the more you will grow to dislike it? Call me a n00b forever then!
