electronic music genres |
 |

Wikipedia lists 21 electronic music genres and 201 sub-genres.
Apparently, every new electronic tune is its own unique sub-genre.
Allow me to demonstrate by pressing a single key on this synth...

There, I have just created a new sub-genre. I shall call it "one goofy sounding note style." Do you think it'll catch on? _________________ AEJOTZ is pronounced "A-Jotz"

If produced right and marketed well with a nice viral sauce? Yeah I guess :-) _________________ Jan |

As is customary in these circumstances, I refer to Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music
You have to get those new genres registered ASAP, folks!

I have been to that site before and it is well done in terms of graphic design and usability. Unfortunately, it is extremely heavily biased toward what might be called dance music/music with beats. Don't get me wrong, I like a wide variety of music, including dance music/music with beats, but by having so many sub-genres, it is no wonder that so many people equate electronic music with dance music. The visual representation of the plethora of subgenres gives rise to misrepresentation.
The website also does a commendable job of attempting to represent multiple dimensions into essentially a modified 2-D design. Perhaps v. 3.0 or 4.0 will introduce a navigable multidimensional design. I think that would be innovative and useful and might remove some of the bias I mentioned above.
All-in-all, I still think it is very well done.

I think I have heard some of your dabblings in these genres. I love the list--they are quite descriptive!!

On a more serious "note", I feel that our radio station is re-exploring the genre space and making new little nooks and crannies in it occasionally.
A guitarist who was really quite good visited me to play my invention guitar here in Texas. He mentioned the complex timing that guitarists are using now so I played him some boolean sequenced guitar. He seemed silent and confused by the music, straining through my talking to "grasp" it. I'd like to see real guitarists play boolean sequenced timing, that would be wild.
And don't ask me about No-Wave and it's influence on my work.

That site is of course quite tongue-in-cheek, if not downright satirical. The Disclaimer says things like "made most of it up", "several biases" etc.. So yes, not a real reference, but very well done and funny - and always there to remind us of the madness of it all...

I actually find all this obsession with genres completely idiotic.
My wife and I recently tried to find a track on the Itunes site, only to find that you can't find anything on the Itunes site unless you can correctly decide which genre it is!?!
There was no "search by song title"
No "search by artist"
You literally HAD to know what the genre was!
We just laughed our heads off and threw the Itunes card in the bin.
I don't think I'm interested in any music which fits into a genre. It seems so remedial and retarded. _________________ What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there. |

Oh it's just that ... currently the word dubstep needs to be in genre for it to be hip, so you'll see people label themselves like that, doesn't say much about the music I think (as they'll subgenre it immediately), but when I'm busy busy busy I'll use any excuse to not listen

Oooops. I missed the disclaimer. I didn't realize the whole site was mock serious. I thought the designer of the site was really into dance music/music with beats. Thanks for clarifying that.

True, indeed. Almost everything under "electronic" in itunes radio is either dance, pop, or rock and roll. Maybe the person who designed the classification scheme was trying to be tongue-in-cheek with the genres? |

Works fine for me. Searching for "full moon on the highway" certainly returns the right song from the right album. BTW, a great track!
