Out of curiosity, what do you mean by EDM?

I know what the abbreviation stands for, just that I'm not entirely sure that people don't mean specific sub-genres of electronic music. For example when people said 'electronica' back in the late 90's or early 2000's they seemed to mean Big Beat - ie. Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Eiffel 65, etc.. These days I'd 'think' when people say EDM they mean Deadmau5, Avicii, etc., specifically sort of pop-dance. Am I right in that last assessment or do you mean something slightly different?

Genres that fall under EDM
Trance
House
Techno
Dubstep
many others
EDM is very wide ranging, and when someone says the word they don't just mean pop dance.

Got it.

I've had a long-running drum n bass thread (28 pages now mostly solo), SnailHail had a Trip Hop thread of similar length and I think there might have been a dubstep thread albeit it was shorter lived.

It's tougher to get a house, trance, techno, psytrance, etc. thread going mostly because they tend not to spread out too much farther than the dj's and producers themselves (I was really wild about acid techno, progressive trance, and some psytrance when I was younger but mostly fall back on dnb now).

I think Ivy Lab's half-time works well out in this area:
