So, there are plenty of electronic artists I like and TONS I don't. I think a big part of it is that I don't really know the differences between the sub genres. I've never been around anyone who was able to explain the differences between the genres to me. The problem I have is that with the music I like- punk, metal, folk, rock, etc. there are clear questions you can ask to determine the genre. "Is it punk with acoustic instruments and some traditional instruments? Folk punk! Awesome." "Is the singer shrieking or screeching? Shrieking? Black metal. Awesome."
These are clearly defined things in my mind, whereas "How many beats per minute is the track? What pitches are used? How many layers are there? Does the tempo change? When? How many times? How drastically?"
I DON'T GET IT.
So instead I end up with things like "I LIKE THIS SONG!" Like this... I like this song!
Trance? Techno? Electronica? Hardstyle?
I DON'T FUCKING KNOW!
And so, in conclusion, I don't understand electronic music. But I do know one thing... I like this guy.
