- SORRY IF I DIDNT INCLUDE A CERTAIN GENRE, BUT THIS IS JUST A TH-cam VIDEO NOT EVERY SINGLE GENRE CAN BE FEATURED WITHOUT THE VIDEO BEING TOO LONG
If you have questions or remarks please put them in the comments, I read them requently.
The songs used are mentionned by artist and track in the video itself.
I don't own any of the songs, rights go to the artists.
Some more genres that didn't make the cut:
Aggrotech
Breakcore
Dark Electro
Dutch House
Eurotrance
Future Bass
Future House
Grime
Hands Up
Happy Hardcore
Jumpstyle
Jump-up DnB
Melodic Dubstep
Moombacore
Speedcore/Terrorcore
Tech Trance
Tropical House
Witch House
>Apologizes for missing a certain genre
>still gets comments complaining about not having [Insert genre here]
IT. WAS. NOT. MY. FAULT. HE SHOULD MAKE A VIDEO IN THE FUTURE, AND HE SHOULD GIVE US JUSTICE!!!! DISLIKED!!!!
"Tech House", "Acid House"
I've never heard of that, but Future House missing. I think he should just include the most famous genres. I don't know if Tech/Acid House are very known but i don't think so.
dude he just said tech and acid was one of many big house subgenres. also future house arised around 2015+
@@prodrosish87 oh i didn't see that the video was so old yeah it makes sense now, sry
What about electro?
Can everyone just be thankful that this person took the time to make a video explaining genres for new people who know nothing about our music. It’s a decent video.
Like me. people ask what i like and i have no idea how to specify it
Agreed
Jacob Sims nah, he didn’t explain that all is edm and that hardtyle is not a sub genre of hardcore, hardstyle is sub genre like hardcore progessive house and other sub genres
+1
No, I'm not at all thankful Jacob. Videos like this just add to the confusion

I have a question. DeadMau5 & Kaskade's song "I Remember" which genre is?
It's definitely trance. If I had to guess, probably "uplifting trance", not covered by this video.
@@marc2377 It's prog house actually
Sorry but there is no hardcore or Gabber in this video.
You can't call hardstyle gabber.
epic
Me every 10 seconds when a new song comes: "Oh gotta add that banger to the playlist!"
Trippy haha I added 3 at least to mine
lol dude, spot on, im new to this as well and they all seem bangers :)))
@@acsentedanut1473 welcome to the fam, fam
Literally same
I clicked on this just to look at the genrepolice in the comments.
RagetasticGames Same.
I love the video goes in absolute precise detail and then just classes up hardcore with some unknown shit and places hardstyle and gabber together.
Hardhouse and hardtrance were completely left out. Both played a huge role in the UK and in Germany in the 90's and even in other european countries...
Hahaha so true!
Duh this aint fookin techno, its hardcorepsytrancestyle
guys don't waste ur time watching this, TND5 Mixes/Alsky Music has a better video called "The Genres of Electronic Music" th-cam.com/video/4P3oCqnYSlU/w-d-xo.html
Boy, dubstep was like football
Different in the UK and the US
I definitely think the UK is much bigger on these types of music, especially the house, trance and DnB.
Europe definitely created electronic music
@@user_winda and like everything else, American stole it and made it better
@@Zack-cl2qu No.. They steal things and make them worse... Think of all the wonderful cheese that Europe makes. USA stole it and created industrial spray on cheese... Wonderful...
@@Cobalt-Jester what smells like 3rd world country 🤢🤮
In all the comments I saw no reccommendation or mention of one genre:
Synthwave
(also sometimes called retro-electro, basically mid-to-late 80's beats and tracks with just a touch of "modernism").
There are even subgenres of it, like Darksynth, Post-Darksynth, Horror Synth and Slasherwave, Cybersynth, Chillsynth, FutureSynth / Space Synth, Dreamwave, Outrun, (Neo) Italo Disco and Vaporwave (and probably some more).
I just feel like it should not be left out, It's getting more and more popular (at least where I live) and I love it!
Maybe synthwave as a whole fits into downbeat?
Idk
Vaporwave is not part of the synthwave movement. It is its own genre
Was looking for this comment wondering in which category synthwave would fit into. So it's not a sub genre but a genre after all? (I'm kinda new to electronic music so sorry for this basic question)
Italo Disco is a new subgenre? Nah mate, it's been a genre since the early 80s and gave birth to Eurobeat in the late 80s and early 90s
What about speedcore?
Only 1 nitpick: Breakbeat isn't called that because the beat is 'broken', it's because the beat came from sampled drum breaks (especially from RnB)
Thank you!
Yeah, thank you. This part pissed me off particularly

+Plumdog DUDE YOU'RE INSANE! :D
I just looking for this. Thanks dude ;)
Damn it bro thanks alot looking for this ... its about 5 years with EDM but that House song which was played first was fucking awesome ... gosh if I could find more like this ... if you guys know any playlist with that heavy bass house music "revolution 909" please share it , thanks alot again bro !
add this to description
Plumdog thanks man
im so fucking glad you separated dubstep from brostep.
Me too : D
helostcontroll But he completely fucked up hardcore.
WithNoSense totally fucked up...
There's no such thing as "Brostep". It's a term Skrillex invented.
SUM1 The term was already invented before skrillex came along. Brostep wad used to describe Caspa and Rusko.
2015: eurodance dead
2019: idk how to tell u this but
Uhhh yeah please supply. I am out of the loop.
Déjà vu
Martin garrix
Guéguette K search up eurobeat
MXM 350 imagine being this close minded
Revolution 909, man of culture.
Just entered on the video and saw this, now I cant end my day without seeing that part
Fun fact: Brian Eno also made the startup sound for the classic Windows 95 operating system.
Awesome!
Stopped watching this guide when he classified Drum And Bass as breakbeat.
@@BillClinton228it's of course subgenre of my beloved indiano-balkan ambient psy-folktronica
And he did it
on a Mac
I thought that was Robert Fripp
Nightcore is as much of a genre as [BASS BOOSTED] is.
KriAsb No. There are own created songs. Self-made.
Nightcore is by definition not original music. Its closer to a lazy "remix style" than a genre. Sorry bro.
KriAsb Yeah, but there are self-made nightcore songs. No remix.
the Nightcore in this video refers to remix that use high pitched samples and have an overall faster feeling, which quite frankly takes the equal ammount of skill like the normal remixes. But that has nothing to do with what you find here on youtube where ppl think speeding up some song with propotional pitch is enough to call it nightcore. and THAT is the same as calling *bass boosted* a genre
Any idea how to find real Nightcore here on TH-cam?
The only way I could ever explain Hardstyle was, and I quote, "very catchy beat that sounds like an amplified version of someone slapping a metal hood of a car, hard."
Still my favorite genre.
Accurate! One of my favorites too.
To me (and don't get offended) it is just noisy repetitive rave music. But to each their own, we all have different tastes
Hardstyle is trance genre music like hardtrance 👍
@@user-rc9pi2nw2o no, that was around the early 2000s, hardstyle is a genre its own
Sometimes i feel like any song can become hardstyle if you just add a very loud BWOMP as the beat in the background
I actually love glitch. In a song, every new note grabs my attention and throws it in another direction. Glitch makes me bounce around in my own head, kinda, but it keeps me paying attention to the music to appreciate it, as I tend to daydream a lot in other genres
deaf kev- invincible most popular glitch

PS: Android did not correct opno, so a little research is in order!
:0
R-N Gamign it’s beat, hop, and no as in techno
Spent way too little time on techno. It's as versatile and vast as house music with its own liat of sub genres.
Could have included melodic, acid and minimal, like the three top genres of Techno.
Exactly what I thought
personally i know minimal and I dont even listen to techno so this definitely should have included subgenres
I'm more familiar with House than Techno but yeah they both have several sub genres, including Tech House lol
I agree 100%, but then again the lack of focus on techno is exactly what I expected
30 years of being an EDM fan. Been through many phases and have music in nearly every one of these genres. Some better and more memorable than others. Good vid - thanks for this.
This video was so helpful and informative! I've been into electronic music for a while but it's always so hard to really pin down what genres I'm hearing, and this summarizes them in a way that was really useful.
That description of Big Room House was the most accurate thing ever.
+Food for Thought Reviews i personally just like like a heavy beat. i never knew why people disliked the genre so much until now.
IKR that sums up the entire genre right there.
Wild Chandelure it's one of those cases where it's like you're listening to the same thing from different people a million times over, except you actually get tired of it unlike the pop and rap music that most people listen to.
Big Room is like Riddim; the style is generic and can be easily concluded to be uncreative.
Skrillex Wiki As a dubstep fan, I'll take Riddim over Big Room but both have great songs in them, even the pinnacle famous ones like Head Crush for Riddim and Animals for Big Room.
I see this guy isn't the biggest fan of Big Room House lol.
neither he is of any type of modern dubstep only the oldscool stuff it seems like
@@SomeFrequencies ahhh so code pandorum, funtcase, exision and infekt are commercial crap and have nothing to do with it's roots.. hmmmmm the music they make is not dark at all and includes no type of wobble bass and extremely agressive synths and riddim (something that changed completely in comparison to the old definition of riddim) is not minimalistic at all ... do you even listen to dubstep ??? ;D
@@SomeFrequencies nevermind then :D
Its shyte
He seems to know what real Electronic music is.
A lot of work has gone into this video, thanks a ton! It's always risky trying to put things into boxes, but for me it has been a very nice overview. I am toying around with some pocket operators and trying to find a direction in which to experiment, so this has certainly helped :)
This video is one of greatest videos about electronic music I've ever watched. Good job.
I won't complain for the missing genres, it's still great.
where is hardbass blyat?!
Gopnik professional I don't know, comrade! How could that urod possibly forget hardbass!?
modern hard bass is shit :)
hardbass is here! look again before complaining like little sooka
yeah. where is Russian hardbass?
thats a million years gulag for not including hardbass
So that means... If your TV gets broken you'll start to hear EDM
We should listen to edm more often
hahahahahah
14:52 yep, true
@unaesthetic its a joke at the end of the video.
Yes
This was a really succinct , helpful guide in trying to figure how to classify /tag the stuff I like making. Thank you!
Best video about edm genres I’ve seen. It’s really well structured and all the well known genres are included
There's too many subgenres with only a negligible amount of structural differences. Makes it hard to classify and also boxes in producers creatively.
Also a lot of overlap of genres.
If producer tries to stick within frames of one genre, he's nothing more than mediocre producer. He's inbreeding himself artistically.
However genre classification is needed, for listeners who seek music with specific set of traits. It's not only tied to structure of the tracks, but also on what type of samples and instruments were used, atmosphere and when and where it was created. In years 1987-1993, during Rave era, which I'm fan of, existed like 15 subgenres of underground dance music. But during that time nobody cathegorized most of it yet, it was done years later by enthusiasts of the music.
I totally agree, and yet these sub-genres are often created by insecure, douchebag artists who are trying to convince themselves they aren't douches, or to try and make themselves seem more edgy or unique. You see this kind of stuff throughout human culture, however, so not surprising we see it here. Ever seen a car covered with stickers from one sports team? Or someone dressed head to toe in one brand? All attempts to belong because people don't know who they are.
A lot of producers, myself included, make a song without any restraints and then after we're done, try to define it in terms of genres. That's where a lot of sub-genres come from. If you make music and don't have any way to define it in terms of genre, it makes it much harder to grow a following; No one can find you!
I think this many subgenres is hard for me starting learning, for example, i have started a melody in my daw but i need to know what subgenre this project should follow, so its a little frustating(im talking about BEGINNERS, if you know a lot of sub genres so you dont need to " stick within frames of one genre" but if yu are beginner, you should at least on the beginning)
Nomi, the idiot Making a song without know what genre will be is danger, i did songs like this too but the result was "this sounds like child music" and i know others producers that have the same "shild musisc sounds like", but if this works for you nice...
Super informative video. This is the first time I've seen a video like this done right
That was my goal :D Because there were no complete videos on electronic music on TH-cam.
One thing I would have done differently is include more bass genres because there are a couple that weren't mentioned even though I can atone to the fact that their followings are huge
+Wil Dodge Like? Future Bass probably... I know I left it out but it kinda falls under trap
Future Bass, Chillstep, Riddim... A lot o the bassier genres. I definitely think riddim is notable though because it's like the second coming of classic dubstep, but with some modern twists.
+Cheeseguy how about
African tribal
and Mexican trival (had a v not b) /3ball
Very informative and enlightening, I've been trying to figure this out for a very long time (particularly when reading articles about musicians in Wikipedia!). Thank you for putting this together!
This guide is fairly comprehensive and gives history. However, it also helps for a budding producer like me to understand the inception of such tracks and gives a general idea of how to go about creating something in a given genre. Would watch again!
Some more genres:
Hard Trap
Jungle Terror (the Wiwek thing)
Hard Bass (the Russian thing)
FrenchCore
Future Bass
Melodic Dubstep (The Seven Lions thing)
Tropical House
Brazilian Bass
Minimal Techno
Groove
Happy Hardcore (the S3RL thing)
Synth Pop (the Porter Robinson thing)
Great video btw
There's no such thing as "Melodic" Dubstep; It has always been melodic.
Stop trying to invent subgenres because you can't grasp the original sound.
@@Latinfairy777, you said so: "some", a.k.a. "not all of them". Go check Skream who has been doing it "melodic" ever since before 2006.
Now you're gonna tell me that "Chillstep" is also a legit subgenre, won't you? XD
I'm gonna summarize all further discussion with this comment. Seriously, read it:

yes is mix of chopped and screwed and oldies with bit of synth
I always appreciate the effort to classify different types of EDM, thanks.
This was an awesome video and explained a lot! Easy to understand format and I learnt heaps. Thanks for creating :)
Did you include vegan helicopter house though???
No. He forgot vegan tankcore

Jajajaja exacto que mierda es eso de big house o garage? Que putas mamadas son esas
@@MrChente it is simply a joke.
@@MrChente and you're rather rude as well
I kinda hate how Skrillex gets all the credit/blame for inventing "brostep" when Datsik, Downlink, and Excision were laying the groundwork for all that a year before Scary Monsters even dropped.
and Rusko
I would asociaciate them with dubstem rather than bro step.
@@scottbeale1825 rusko sounded more like funky, uplifting dubstep
indeed
@@scottbeale1825 this.
I love synthesizers! Synths are the soul of electronic music. I wish there are more synths

@@BlessedForever888 I actually do already
Thank you for the clarity, friend. I've found a lot of great music because of you and this video.
>Hardcore
>plays showtek - fts
>classifies hardstyle and gabber as the same thing
why do people always get it wrong with harder genres?
Cryptikz Ugh ikr, he played a Hardstyle song for Hardcore, and while explaining all the hardcore sub genres, didn't play one hardcore song -.-
cuz people are cunts that listen to pop.
its always with hard dance music... awlays wrong with everything..... go hard or go home :P
Ist Mir Egal 잊지마 gabber has a much harder kick.
TheGuyWithTheBratzDollz they forgot hardbass as well ( the slavic variant of hardstyle)
I thought this video would help me understand what genre my music falls into. But after viewing I'm afraid I'm worse off than before
don't get it either
I love all the genres, I just figured out 2 years ago that I love all of them
future bounce is good for energetic songs, mike williams, mesto, brooks make great songs
that might help you it's like the electronic genre bible techno.org/electronic-music-guide/
Check out musicmap.info
Great for not only understanding music genres, but their history as well.
I come back to this video again and again.. Very well put.. Thanks
Agreed
Thank You! It was helpful to me, a GenXer who never really delved in to a lot of newer music until recently. Trying to upgrade my chip. Also wrote off alot of the new wave stuff in the 80s because I was a lot more closed minded about music in my teens and twenties than I am today!
As a kid who grew up in the rave scene in the early 90's, I couldn't really ask for a better overview. The final bits about EDM/Electronica were on point, and I was actively rocking out to half the tracks featured from memory alone. Top notch job.
>hardcore
>uses hardstyle
Shut up loser
what if for hardcore they played gorilla biscuits or chokehold or something
Yeah that was a hardcore facepalm moment right there.. :/

Molly really helps to analyze every track in a different way than without drug. I don’t know if it’s ok or not but I can say by my experience that you cannot feel the music as much as when you are high.
Thank you for differentiating dubstep from brostep! There is a difference. I personally listen to jungle dnb, old school dubstep, trance/psy trance the most.
I must be one of the few that listens to both brostep and dubstep. Just depends on the mood, sometimes I want to listen to deep and dark other times aggressive sounding. Just like I do with different genres of dnb.
@@ccricers have you heard gorilla flex by funtcase before? I like old school aggressive like that... Sub focus has some dope shit time warp vip, stomp & many more. Of course rusko is a big fave of mine & Dr P watch out or license or sweat shop are all old school and super original
@@ccricers shit & how could I forget.... FIGURE
@@ccricers I dig the Bobby D's hard house mix you highlighted
I appreciate the information and advice you have shared😊.
I've been listening to electronic music since my teens in the 90s and, even thou I have strong opinions on the list itself, you have made a pretty decent classification. Good choice of classics btw! Liked.
Great job! This is a very extensive list. I appreciate the effort you put into this. ^^
Trance is easily the greatest EDM genre
Eurodance was in my teen years, best music I've ever heard. Wish it would make a comeback today. I still listen to my favorite bands from that time to this day.
Genre Police here.
We got a call about a youtube content provider waltzing over the Techno genre without sufficient or accurate examples?
*Removes Green Velvet style sunglasses, unhooks walkie talkie.
"Lets see here...khh... OK team, subject has appeared to have provided only... two examples of techno to represent the entire genre....khh.... no sir... it's Orbital .. khh... Orbital., yes one of their breakbeat tracks... and Leftfield.... khh., yes both UK rave/breakbeat acts.
No... No Detroit Producers... neither wave.... No, no German producers... no he's moved onto Trance, GO,GO,go go!
signals to a team of emergency SWAT Genre Police to sweep in with a collection of Juan Atkins, Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Micheal Mayer, Dj Koze, Marco Remus, James Ruskin, Green Velvet, Adam Beyer, etc etc etc etc.
Lol. Amazing post.
you had me all the way until adam beyer
@@ilikebaseballs What's wrong with Adam Beyer?
@@MurranButstansager was a joke lol
Green Velvet sunglasses 😂
Sad that my beloved Breakcore wasn't in the video. Although I did see it mentioned in the description. I'm happy that IDM is represented. Cool video 😎
Ikr?
Totally agree with you mate :)
Breakcore would be hard to show, just showing one song would be completely insufficient since it varies so much, some breakcore songs are basically like 60% frenchcore or can be similar to liquid dnb, can be really noisy, can be really jarring or atonal or not have any kind of beat at all, etc its just too complex and wide of a genre
Thank you for the very well put together video!
Thankyou Kiteless, great effort! I have learnt heaps.
This is similar to metal in some way:
1. You have "posers" (Skrillex, Metallica)
2. You have subgenre police (duh it's djentosatanicfunkyposthardcoregoatsacrificingritualicgrindcore,duh its dubbrotransorientaljazzinspiredtraphouse)
3. Mainstream peeps call it trash or noise
4. Duhh they are just banging guitars/Duhh they are just smashing buttons
5. Gets 0 accreditation for influence on music
6. Artists are labeled as drug abusers, drunks, etc.
7. People who listen to it are labeled as satanists/drunks/punks etc.
8. It has A SHIT TON OF SUBGENRES
9. They have elitists (godly creatures who have right to judge what is for "posers", who are sellouts, and most important, they will kill you if you don't agree with them)
10. They are nice, often musically educated people who know that pop music FUCKING SUCKS.
Haha I love your edgy made-up sub-sub-sub-sub-genres
SeedPillar H He is one of the main makers of dubstep and has concerts
Djole MIljkovic I'm a kind of person that enjoys Rock, Punk, (alot of) metal, Indie, Classical, (Some) Rap, and even a bit of EDM. You are absolutely correct about this whole thing. I'm one of those subgenre police, but when it comes to subgenre, I'm only policing myself really. I'm like OCD about having my Spotify organized by specific subgenre. But I don't go past main subgenres. So I don't have an, Extreme Unblackened Industrial Symphonic Slamming Melodic Neoclassical Progressive Brutal Acid Funk Techno Groove Power Folk Crossover Pirate Doom Thrash Alternative Djent Alien Goregrind Nu Nintendo Deathcore playlist.
Haha, couldn't agree more.
What an accurate comment. And Skrillex created a genre, we liking it or not.
Jungle and dnb evolved alongside eachother in the early to mid 90s. One focused more on the reggae/dancehall roots, the other more on jazz.
@@CerealKiller who fucking cares. Let people enjoy what they want to enjoy
@@CerealKiller This is really weird to me. As a DnB guy (I love jungle too though) I always heard the similarities
DnB came out of junlge. Jungle started in early 90s as a more reggae/dub influenced form of the popular rave music at the time (breakbeat hardcore, techno, acid house) with bass and beats at the centre. DnB formed later where ragga influences were dropped in favour of a darker or jazzier sound (Andy C, Roni Size etc) which was more commercially viable, and significantly was less focused on black british culture.
@@jonasnisse4257 yeah you're right. Brushed up on more of my history since this original comment, and tho i wouldn't necessarily say I was wrong a year ago, it doesn't quite fully represent the relationship between the 2 genres.
And absolutely agreed on the fact that dnb became a whitewashed form of Jungle. The effects of that are still more than evident today when you look at PoC representation in the scenes.
@@jrnas8046 I think whitewashed in a strong way to put it. Jungle went mainstream and naturally white artists aren’t going to have the same black influences that defined jungle. That’s just the effect of a London/inner city subculture going global.
Foghorn rollers can fuck off though.
My favorite will forever be Drum & Bass, it has so many different styles with even elements of other genres added in.
Very enlightening! The examples help so much.
Madeon always puts French House at another level ;-;
I GOT SHOCKED WHEN PAY NO MIND WAS PLAYING
French House is the best
There's also Retrowave/Synthwave that's shooting up right now. I know you've not mentioned some genres but I thought it'll be nice that people know about Retrowave hahah
I was wondering when he would bring that up, then the video ended.
Yes
Synthwave is hard, it takes inspiration from Techno, Trance and House.
Disapointed about techno but whole video isa good job mate 👌
Thank you for your work, in this video is everything i ever looked for
We need an updated version, that's like an hour long :>
For anyone that liked French House or Nu Disco
Check out FutureFunk. You will not be disappointed. ✌️ 💜
Yeesss Nu Disco was my jam in high school! Too bad it's called "indie dance" now. I thought Nu Disco was a perfect name for it :(
Future funk by lemkooja?
future funk and nu disco are just more streamlined versions of disco house tbh
Future funk is incredible. moe shop, macross, saint pepsi, and lemkuuja
David Rice yung bae, flamingosis, and more.
Thanks for the teaching !
Can't resist telling the other ones I know (now in 2019) :
- Retrowave, Synthwave, Darkwave, Vaporwave, Chillwave
- Future Funk
- Future Bass
- Future House, Ghetto House, Tropical House
- Glitch Hop, Neuro Hop
- Lofi Hip Hop
- Happy Hardcore
- Frenchcore
- Moombahcore
- Metalstep, Darkstep, Deathstep
- Extratone
- Crossbread
thanks for the introduction :)Very useful and easy to understand :)
I love how you described Nightcore more positively than Big Room House xD
"Is dubstep still a thing?" - deadpool
"dubstep is for pussies" - Cable
But one of my favorite genres is dubstep
no its brostep now
@@aquariusminds8274 mine also
LOL.
Informative and easy to follow. Thank you so much for creating this video!
Fantastic and lovely presentation Friend obrigado
Really good video actually! Nice examples of each, too. Clear and distinct examples with good descriptions.
I would have included though:
- Under "Techno", there is Dub Techno, Electro, Minimal, Ghettotech.
also thank you for including 2-step garage :)
I wish I had the equipment and patience to make a video just like this lol. I've been wanting to do it ever since discovering "Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music" like 10 years ago now. I know it's difficult nailing each genre, subgenre, and sub-subgenre of EDM, especially when they just keep mixing and growing! But thank you for making this video I appreciate the effort!! 😎
+Sebizzar Ishkur's guide is horribly outdated and subjective. That's one of the reasons I just sat down, wrote down all the genres I know and did a lot of research :P If I could make a website I'd do it too! But yeah, this is also not 100% correct anymore... Really glad you appreciate it :D
As will be this video in a few years. Its already subjective, soon it will be outdated too. Such is life.
this video has some outdated stuff nowbut not everything.
Some genres' description are incorrect, I especially think that for big room.
big room, from experience of listening to it, is music that aims to reproduce the sense of listening in a big room(duh) using highly reverberated instruments. At least it is what I've come up to seing what's considered big room *now* for some music labels (like Diversity from which I enjoy a lot of songs).
but I may be incorrect, like I often am...
Thanks for this video. This gives me an idea on where to start researching more :)
Hope you still read the comments on this, this is an incredibly well made and informative video, appreciate the effort you've put into this
I'm sure the majority of today's people that listen to electronic music call it edm as a genre and identify all others as sub genres... they are all just uninformed it's not really their fault.. I think calling it edm as a whole is perfectly fine sorry old heads
thanks for the video tho it was very informative... it's crazy how today's mainstream rave culture uses all of these genres and blend it to sound good
Anthony Gonzalez it's not a problem unless it's something like Downtempo or Breakbeat
XENO Official Downtempo would just be called chill music and breakbeat would just be called either electronic or techno.
I call it edm as a whole but Im not uneducated about my genres so lol
Calling it all edm is a mistake. Not all electronic music has been made in order to damce to. Further on edm was used after the usa rediscovered dance at the end of the 00s. You dont have the right to give something a name if you have been ignoring it for so long. And if you said to a dj: so you make edm music, lots of djs will find this insulting because edm is associated with david guetta, afrojack kind of dance music, very commercial. So.....dont call it all Edm
5:54 This song always was in those 2010 style TH-cam tutorials!
This was helpful and informative. I'm relatively new to EDM and learning the genres & sub-genres was interesting.
Very informative It is good to see the breakdown according to whether the sound is warm or cold/techno. I will keep that in mind when I am sorting. Also, I need to go back and review downtempo because in my collection “chillout” and downtempo go in totally separate parts of my collection. I think that is right.
3:46 Eurodance never dies, it just reincarnated as eurobeat. Especially in Japan, newer Eurobeats sounds really intense, uplifting, and no longer cheesy.
………………..and Eurobeat also helps you corner faster on mountain roads,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,just saying :-P
The most sad thing about all the non pop music genres is really the listeners.
I came to this video mainly to get some nice new songs to listen to, I check the comment section and see; Surprise! People bitching about this being whatever not and that not being this. Personally I couldn't care less. If the music is good I'll listen to it; the end.
Is there really no one else who feels that way?
I don't know much about the subgenres but good video either way! A lot of time was put into it and I got some nice new songs to listen to (Y)
am i missing something? why are there so many dislikes?
this is the most helpful edm guide ive seen
Some of the guide is very opinionated in it's explanation and personally some of the things said like "Take away all the stuff that makes House great..." was just infuriating to someone who listens to this type music. It's not a bad guide if he would've kept his opinions out of it, it's clear which genres he liked the most and which he didn't.
@@altoactive big room baby
@@altoactive fuck edm
Thank you! Beautiful video ❤️
WHERE IS V A P O R W A V E
@Tony69North xD
Is it electronic ? I would not say it's a subgenre of electronic.
@@Gazeld What about dub?
@@miscellaneous1276 Dub uses effects and is a genre used for some songs of a lot of electronic musicians (in a trance goa album for example, see T.I.P), so it doesn't bother me that it is listed here.
D E A D
Has an hardcore genre but not showing any hardcore?...
says gabber and hardstyle is the same...
Fts is not hardcore lol
Lol no Reverse bass , Rawstyle , hard house , Hard trance , euphoric & etc lol
Bad brains!
They has evolved, he shows early types of them
Very educational! And when I heard Above And Beyond.... you got my like and sub instantly!
OMGGG I FINALLY FOUND THE GENRE I WAS LOOKING FOR AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS
(it was Big Room House)
You my good sir, are garbage
makks Everyone hates a purist. You must be fun at parties.
👌😅
french house is better but that is my opinion
Tom Riste I like French House, too
why didn't you go through the sub genres of techno?
Rekt
Grinphox dub techno, deep techno, old school techno its not al the same
lemkid121 don't forget minimal and industrial. very different ends of the spectrum.
How about Aggrotech/Hellectro?
***** *triggered
WHERE IS THE ALMIGHTY EXTRATONE?
Very well explained, thanks. Now I got no idea what kind of music I am into.
Great job , your video is amazing . Thanks for helping to understand electro music
What about future house ?
MTho i think future house is just a modern name of garage, or maybe sub-genre of garage with respect to modern sound
Андрей Ковычев Garage is not related to Future House at all.
Kdkssk Oaoapappp in my humble opinion future house is a child of garage+deep house+progressive house, it is just what I hear (I don't care about lists) it is just my feeling, I'm not pushing to join it)))
its crap
MTho this is an old video- future bass is a new genre
I mostly listen to metal, rock, punk, videogames music and movie score. I like electronic influences in these genres, but I wouldn't say I listen to electronic music in its pure form (except for remixes of videogames-music like Pokémon or fanmade songs).
And NOW I fucking understand why people get confused with all the metal subgenres. Even with this video I don't get the little and fine differences between most of the subgenres - barely the main genres. :D
It's kind of a huge genre, but you should check out electro-industrial. It's nice and loud, plus it has some good sub-subgenres. And I completely agree with you regarding the metal subgenres, I've been into metal for aaaages and still find new subgenres that I like.
very cool video, even if i've been into electronic music for some years i've still learnt new stuff!
great video! I learned a lot, thank-you!
