I agree with the Vice article 100000 percent. EDM is like McDonalds, popular empty calories lowest common denominator big room commercial dance music.

Is Blue Monday by New Order EDM? Is I Feel Love by Donna Summer EDM? Is Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode EDM.

NOPE

Its like how they tried to call everything "Electronica" in the 90s, its a marketing gimmick

I would never insult Orbital or Underworld or Todd Terry or Joe Goddard of Hot Chip and tell them they were "EDM"

I will leave that cheese to the Afrojacks and Avicci's of the world
