How do u explain to closed-minded people what EDM music really is????


I work with people who are only into hip-hop and mainstream music. When I told them that I like EDM, they were like, "Oh, you're one of those ravers! How do u listen to that crap? It's just a bunch of noise... and you have to take E to be able to listen to it".

I try to explain to them that my music isn't just a bunch of noise, and that I'm NOT a raver or take E to enjoy it... but they won't listen to me!!!!!! GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!



What should I tell them to make them realize what EDM really is??

to come to Europe ..

u dont....u let them stay the way they are....

openmindedness is a gift at birth...u cant change someone later on in life.

however u could possibly convert them to EDM fans....this is by constantly pumping EDM out loud....ive done it before....

see the "common man" assumes that he/she loves teh mainstream crap cos thats the only thing exposed to them ALL day long.

expose them to something else ALL DAY LONG and thats what they will be listening to....

its human nature

I say don't even bother. If someone responds the way your coworkers did, then don't even try to convince them otherwise. Your efforts will be wasted because they aren't even trying to understand how you feel about EDM. It takes a certain mindset to understand and truly appreciate EDM.

I stopped trying to explain after someone asked me if it was only gay guys who listened to "techno".

well im mostly talking abt trance..but even a few other genres went downhill since then..mostly all of them cept for house breaks and jungle ..i actually think these 3 got better with age the rest of the genres went to shit..this is my opinion tho..i dont even listen to edm anymore or at leats i dont listen to it too much...i ve been into hip hop but hip hop turned to shit in the last year cept for a few albums...im actually getting into rock lately havent been able to take my audioslave cd out of my cd player for abt 4 days now..just always on loop cant egt enuff of that cd

breaks is the only genre which u keep finding stuff gettin more and more outsdanding by the day....

trance...oh please...its just history repeating itself...

Now i agree with you here, although think progressive has definately evolved as well (evidence is the amount you see being spun at clubs these days).

well if u noticed, breaks is now all of a sudden becoming even more recognized and prog artists are taking a shift to that genre as well...prog artists are running out of ideas as well....
