I get somewhat pissed off when some of my friends who are not into EDM refer to all types of EDM as "trance". I am a House DJ/producer, and when I talk to my friends about the music they all refer to it as "Trance", or "pookie head music"...Im sure that I am not alone when I say that this is frustrating, and I try to educate them to the best of my ability so that they can differentiate between different genres of EDM...Any thoughts please reply!!!! Cheers, Manuel C!

ah, if youre not spinning trance you are dfntly spinning minimal

Actually I cannot stand minimal...It is my least favorite genre of house...Im just saying that when ever they hear any thing electronic that automatically assume that its trance...they dont stop to consider that there are various genres of EDM

Not at all...Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I dont think that i'm any less "educated" than you are because I dont enjoy listening to a particular style of music that you do. Hence why I posted Ignorance as the topic headline.

It's impossible, and not to mention pointless, to have detailed knowledge about every single genre of music out there; as you've just ever so ironically proven with that post. Even more so if that genre of music isn't even of great interest to you.

I don't know why people put such great emphasis on trying to label and define everything. Whatever happened to just liking 'good' music and disliking 'shit' music? Those are the only 2 genres that matter. Don't worry about it.

Maybe you shouldn't be worried about your friends.

Maybe you shouldn't have friends.

So you're saying there is no minimal form of house? A lot of the trendy stripped-down beats nowadays are essentially house. They're groove-centric rather than monotone and percussive. Compare Robert Hood to... well, any trendy producer you like to call minimal, and you'll understand the difference.

Welp, you can still color me fucked right off at the continued use (or rather, misuse) of the term minimal.

Well in.

Minimal is not a genre of house, minimalism is a musical concept. Neither is house a genre itself but rather a sub-genre of electronic dance music. I thought you should know that by now.
