I understand just calling it EDM or electronica, but techno is a sub-genre itself, so calling the entire genre techno is .. way off. (yeah, even if 97% of the US population thinks it's techno)
And for a good list with some rather subjective definitions, check out the Ishkur Guide To Electronic Music here. |

I have a feeling you're confused about what classifies a production as 'ambient' as far as EDM is concerned. |
Let's find out. To grab a really obvious song that I like: Kirsty Hawkshaw: Fine Day. I have no question that it is an ambient trance/house song, and yet it is also euphoric. |

Then you'd have to clump New Age in there too (Like Enya). And most rap doesn't even have synths, they just have percusion with some guy rapping. I realize that some EDM songs will incorporate rap at times, like eurodance, but trying to equate the two as roughly the same thing is ridiculous. |

Rap is EDM. I don't get how it's so hard to understand that. Just because it doesn't have supersaw synths and a 4/4 beat, that doesn't mean it isn't electronically produced. |

'Euphoric' isn't even a sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-rub-a-dub-sub-genre. It's just a description of the feeling you might get when listening to it. If someone is calling that a genre, they're thinking about it way too much.
Like those that claim there's a major difference between full-on ambient, no-step ambientcore, and airport ambience. |

Then let's call Enya EDM, because she employs a great deal of synthesizers and she sounds like ambient trance but without the heavy percussion. ;) (And btw I absolutely adore Enya's music, she's astonishing). |

Yes, it is a loose subgenre. But I agree that it really shouldn't be a stingent category in the least. |

Sorry, but I'm using the same logic you're using to make Rap EDM. Just because it uses synthesizers DOESN'T MAKE IT EDM, period. I'm not trying to start a flame war, but do get what I'm saying. Rap might be RELATED to EDM, but it can't be clumped together. :p |

| Um... Enya is EDM (or EM, as the case may be). You've just proved UWM's point. |
