Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.

Still loads about just split abit more.

There is Bounce which is basically still the old old style hard house - hoovers, acid etc - see Andy Whitby

Hardstyle which is basically old hard trance with gabba and basic riffs and THAT pitched kick drum

NU-NRG is still banging out tho it just called NRG now - tough tough hard house with some twisted psy influences

Then Freeform which I really like - massive trance riffs, ripping 303 and tight basslines. Quicker speeds but amazing!! K-KOmplex, Scott Genetik

typical UK to make up shit genres all over again. there is only 4 genres in edm. house, trance, techno and progressive (prog might not even be a genre, but just a description of one of the three others). back then u also had rave which is what can be gabber and shit now.

Pft Palm, Psy is bigger than house. And Techno?? Really? How is that even on the radar.

The big EDM genras in order from biggest to smallest:

Trance.

PsyGoa.

House.

How is Channel X - Rave the Rythm considered gabber?

I disagree sub genr's are important so lets say I want to buy some hard house right?

I go to a download site and browse catgory 'house' you think that would be the best way? or another so my local record shop has(used to) have rows and rows of vinyl literally like a library. Imagine walking in there and looking in the trance section when you wanted the latest tidy trax hard trance slammer?

I bet your like the same sort of person that reckons their are only 3 storylines for films and every other film is a blend/variaion on those 3.

Oh and for your information seen as house was born in the US and very quickly divided into disco house, acid house, warehouse, etc etc then surely the genre splitting was a US invention?

nothing against US but using sweeping generalisations about a country is a bit silly it would be like me saying all american cops are fat and eat donuts?

House is by far and away the largest EDM genre. Prob looking at techno or poss drum n bass next if your talking less commercial stuff then after that the diff is going to be pretty irrelevant:

Palm - dont shoot the messenger lol, tbh it going to happen with so much music out there esp in the world. In practical terms most of the above would be played at the same night but it helps when you're tracking down music.

to all the haters lol:

hardcore, dnb and rave, gabber are all the same to me and its dead long time ago.

breaks, psy, goa is just variations of trance to my ears.

house well is house, progressive house, acid house, hardhouse, deephouse etc.

techno includes the rest of the oldschool stuff. i consider orbital techno.

lately techno and house seems to be the same. minimal is abit house to me. true techno died 4 years ago.

so we end up with two genres: trance and house. and then we have styles of both which are very similar; prog house and prog trance.

conclusion is this; theres only one genre worth mentioning when it comes to edm: prog

long live prog

No one likes house...house is crappy music that is played in like a few tiny irrelevent european/westasian [which ever name you prefer] countries, and 4 cities in ameirca..the rest of the world doesn't give a shit, because they all like the opposite sex.

And what the fuck is prog? Prog is not its own genra, its when you take a genra and shittify it, and you end up with "prog" house "prog" trance "prog psy" "prog" bollocks... etc etc

/sarcasm .... OR IS IT?
