Electronica Genre

[wodnerduck]

Gabber/Happy Hardcore is so lame. Stuff by like DJ Fox and Chicago Zone and DJ Massive are so lame and totally for chavs.

That said, the best electronic is minimal idm. Nothing else compares...

I am of the opinion that the word IDM is a scourge upon electronic music that should be abolished yesterday.

Well, everyone has their own tastes, my personal style is, fast, hard, and nice melody/vocals. Basically, it needs to be somewhere around 180BPM, mmm basically very energetic stuff.

Hardstyle is a exception though, I love this stuff.

hardcore is not for softies. sometimes you need hard industrial beats.

my friend listens to terror, now that shit's hard.

happyhardcore imo sucks though. its a totally different genre and scene.

doubletap, who/what would be a typifier of the terror wing of electronica? Would it be like some threatening Al Jourgensen Ministry-type shit?

I just got Amon Tobin's new disc- Foley Room. It has to be shortlisted for best disc of the year. The man is a trailblazer.

no way, terror is still considered dance music and it still revolves around turntables and big parties. check out dj akira, dj droks for more info.

here's a good example of what hardcore is... terror is just a harder version of that.

oh and drapygo, the hardcore(gabber) you posted is not a real good example of what the genre is. hardcore has to be DARK, not all upbeat and shit with little anime girls. if you're intrested pm me and i can give you more info.

Only in holland have i ever seen jumpstyle. I listen to dutch harcore in america and here nobody has any clue what it is. Needless to say there are never any true hardcore events here.

It is absolutely meaningless and masturbatory?

[drapygo]

Well, gabba to me, is just distorted kick, and has the little drum thing going on.

yeah gabber and hardstyle/jumpstyle has so much more meaning

electronic music isn't about shit it's about enjoying yourself and the music..

I'm not a fan of gabber or hardstyle, but tell me how it has less "meaning" than hrvatski, squarepusher, or venetian snares? Meaning = More Max/MSP filters?

Yes, IDM is a masturbatory label because it creates a intellectual false dichotomy. IDM = everything else is stupid? :confused: Don't get me wrong, I do like quite a lot of what is called IDM (autechre 4 lif) but I still think it's a stupid label.

Which is my point.... You're the one who brought up IDM in the first place <3

idm is just a bloody genre get over it if you think its pretentious then get pissed at the person who coined the friggen term. hrtvatski, squarepusher, and venetian snares arent to my liking like i said before i like minimal idm like the stuff in these videos.
