+1 if EDM referrs to an entire genre of music, then is ambient really EDM? its electronic music, but do u really dance to ambient? the genre should be electronic music, not EDM.

EDM describes "electronic music you can (or will, with proper assistance) dance to", and if a term that is useful when explaining electronic music aside from rock, hip hop, whatever other non-electronic genres (though that's even vague nowadays, but it's still relevant), especially to non-EDMers a.k.a. "techno-haters".

EDM isn't a genre, but a collection of the electronic dance genres (see ishkur, etc.).

I agree with the dirty house and most things dirty.

Dirty, filthy, nasty, ill, sick, blah. As opposed to all that clean, healthy music you like to listen to.

I wonder how many people's favourite music isn't dirty. The adjective used to imply something along the lines of distortion, pitch bends, and heavily compressed saw basses. Now it's yet another meaningless filler word, like "dude" or "like". It feels even older than "groovy" now, and that word is pretty ing old.

problem is....ive found people call ambient tracks "dirty" too...the term dirty isnt being used in the way it should be (as u well defined it) any more....

EDM....its mostly the jackasses that try to sound too cool infront of the mainstream crowds...i just say electronica or electronic music which IS the genre and doesnt make some mainstreamer need an explanation..."oh whats EDM?" the jackasses like being asked to define EDM to sound more l337

as for terms/phrases i hear too often related to our scene that make me wanna pull my eyes out are:
show
PLUR (no it really is just BS cos its a chemically induced situation)
"tearing it up"/"tore it up"
"ripped the (insert club name) a new "
"keeping it real"

list will be updated as i remember

how about its nasty like inside your GF's pants?

:clown:


PS. The term comes from the ghetto. I guess it isnt a white thing where everything has to make a point or a likeness to terms of expression.


PSS. Who da make you an EDM Human Resourses?

Dirty house implies electro house. Which is hell of a lot different than classic or chicago house.

Sick I agree with though, it is very irritating when it is overused.

this is my problem. this genre doesnt deserve to be called 'dirty house'. dirty should be an adjective that can be used when talking about a song from any genre of music that is actually dirty sounding. not as a word designated to an entire genre itself. most of the songs that fall under the so called 'dirty house' category are over produced and cheesey and complete free of any dirty characteristics
