maybe a bad example but the point he was making was spot on. Genre names are there just to help people know type of track any particular tune is.

If i say electro house, I dont care if it doesnt share any similarities with "real" electro. People will know exactly what type of track it will be so the name electrohouse has served its purpose...

I didn't prove anything. You compared "progressive" to "electro". I pointed out that "progressive" is used only as a prefix. That's not the case with "electro".

yeah probably 95% of those farty bassline tracks suck. 2 years ago i thought it was the coolest shit ever the worst is trance producers jumping on the bandwagon using them too. First State - Falling, Kyau vs ALber & Marberg - Megashira, etc.

there are still really good songs though out there with those chunky basslines

and I feel bad for DJs who play actual electro, their genre word got shitted upon
