After so many years why are 99% of the female Djs and producers in EDM so awful? They've had more than enough time to make their mark in this genre of music.

I have a theory about this and I think it especially applies to EDM production since that requires more skill than Djing.

Lets be honest here...there ARE cognitive differences between the sexes especially when it comes to the math and sciences. Why do you think so few women go into computer science or mathematics? Just look at the dearth of women in the computer science, mathematics, and engineering departments at most any univeristy

Even the president of Harvard acknowledged this when he said there are innate differences between men and women...and this might be one reason fewer women succeed in science and math careers.

This clearly ties into EDM production where great deal of technical/computer skill is required in addition to musical skill.

I don't think it really matters, no need to hate them

Your argument kinda contradicts itself. If women are supposedly worse at math and science, wouldn't it be logical to assume they excel in the arts, social sciences, and communication, and by association, music? If you think EDM is the only genre of music that involves math and technology, you've got a lot of reading to do.

On the other hand, everyone knows beethoven, dvorjac, bach, etc, but how many renowned female composers are there? The deficit of women in music isn't only limited to EDM - britney, jlo, and Madonna notwithstanding.

I can think of plenty who are far from horrible.


Daniela Stickroth, Kate Simko, Ellen Allien, the girl from Sleeper Theif, Scarlett Ettiene, Magda...the list goes on.

I think your assumptions are pretty baseless, blanket stereotypes of "cognitive differences" and that kind of male superiority complex are lame.

The "cognitive differences" are rendered moot when you think about the differences between simple individuals regardless of gender.


Anyways, I am a little surprised you've posted something with actual substance for once rather than the useless trolling one-liners we're all used to...

I think pop music isn't a very good thing to survey.

There are tons of females who are only popular because they are hot. Also I'm pretty sure females more often like female artists and quite a bit of pop music is actually written by the female singer.

Also Madonna is a terrible example... she hardly writes any of her own stuff. Britney only writes some... and jlo... who gives a shit?

your "theory" is dumb as shit, no offense. most of my favorite producers and DJ's are actually females.

I'd venture a guess that it may have something to do with global oppression of women and a predominant male superiority complex during that time.

I could be wrong.

And this is an awful theory, but at least this isn't a Sasha/Schossow/Svd or whomever thread.

There isn't much music created by women that is actually worth listening to.
