I was very briefely interrested in this stuff, but it passed pretty quickly. I still enjoy hearing some post-rock once in a while, I'm just not really "into" it.

Also what about 70s prog-rock? Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator, Genesis, Camel?

or 70s German Kraut-Rock (awesome experimental sub-field of 70s prog-rock that created modern music in a way) like: Can, Neu!, Faust, Kraftwerk, Cluster, Harmonia, Tangerine Dream, popol Vuh etc.


Just some suggestions that i like.


I was into this stuff before my big EDM burnout and I still am. I'm pretty close to owning every pink floyd album (I think I'm missing 2 right now). I also have a fair share of albums by ELP & King Crimson.

You'll get over whatever else you're listening to as well.

Don't be a glutton with any kind of genre. I listen to a variety of different kinds of music.

It could be that you just need to stop listening to music for a while. I've gone a couple months before doing just that.

With almost everything else I listen to regularly from folk to jambands to jazz to rock, I will usually get to the point where I need a break for a bit.


said it all.

Now why would I ever want to do that?

What is wrong with the term?


Shit, I didn't expect a reply...

electronica (officially "elektronica") = "electronics" in DUTCH.

So not using the word would become sort of a problem over here. Didn't mean anything else with it, you may forget this.

I'm not sure if I'm just going through a phase or if I'm done for good here. I don't go to parties, I don't go to dance clubs either. Haven't touched my CDJs in months. The main reason I got into EDM in the first place was because I was tired of all the samey sounding pop-rock that plagued the airwaves, and this music provided me with fresh sounds I'd never heard before. But I've listened to so much of it in the past few years that no ammount of ingenuity or originality ever surprises me anymore - I feel like I've heard it all. Overall it's been a great learning experience. I discovered so many new sounds and musical concepts that thought me to listen to music with a fresh set of ears, but there's just nothing left for me to discover anymore.

Been through pretty much every sub-genre of it. Collected all sorts of it - out of my latest batch from beatport, only about 10% I ended up really liking, the rest was below my expectations and I got bored of in a matter of days (even though I chose them carefully). There's barely any EDM left on my mp3 player save for some old mid-90s prog house tracks, an old Funk D'Void set and some LSG tracks.

Lately I've been getting back into accoustic music (something I hadn't touched in ages), digging up stuff from the 70s mostly.

Has anyone else gone through this? Or just long periods of being bored of EDM?


kill yourself
fixed.
