In Milwaukee: Shitty, awful, horrible house and drum and bass, the majority of which has been beaten to death by the same 4 jocks for the past 10 years.
In Chicago, however, it's all about good house and techno. Trance still probably draws the biggest crowds (those Eastern European kids love to reach for the lasers), but there is so much good music in Chicago it hurts.
In Austin theres a really small EDM scene so its the obligatory top 40 + crunk rap.
The places that will play EDM will mix Bob Sinclair cheese with top 40, its pretty awful. Theres a few clubs that only play house but they are way to expensive and elitist for my taste.

I didn't really consider Top40 as EDM, but I suppose it is.

In the bay area its really diverse. I haven't done enough exploring into SF to know all the clubs, but raves are typically a blend of trance house and DNB. Theres alot of breaks DJ's out here too.

I am from central PA and around here house is practically the only edm genre you can get away with spinning. I wish i lived in or around europe...
My brother is now living in Fort Lauderdale FL and he tells me that Drum and Bass is pretty big down there...
what about you?
By central PA are you talking State College? Or Harrisburg? Or somewhere else entirely?

SF has the most DJs compared to any other area... so we're lucky to get a good mix of everything although it is still mostly hip-hop & house. Promoters do an awesome job too, its hard enough to decide to do on the weekends esp if you just don't like trance -- just look at the events thread ( http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...threadid=391752 ). Craziest night will likely be April 25th when we have Sasha & digweed, Get Physical (M.A.N.D.Y., Heidi, Booka Shade) and Danny Tenaglia to choose from and all within 2 blocks of each other! I'll likely do all 3

Minneapolis seems to be that way as well. DnB especially.
We just lost one of our best clubs as well (Foundation Night Club). It's definately hurt our scene around here with it's loss. I doubt the more snooty velvet rope clubs are going to let the Techno kids come in with their flannel shirts and Emo jeans.
The electro-house scene has seen a real rise here as well in the last year or so (just like everywhere else I'm sure). However, if you look hard enough you can find some good music up here still.

I've heard that there is a sizeable psytrance scene in Texas. Is it true?

There seems to be a lot of events now that have many styles playing though.
