*grrr*

EDM

Ecstasy demanding music. Music which a sane individual cannot enjoy or even tolerate without the heavy usage of drugs, ecstasy in particular.

I love EDM music.
-Yeah, I do drugs too.

EDM

Basic mass marketing. An horrific mash of electronic 'styles' brought into one easy to handle nursery music for the types that have absolutely no taste in music and want to simply be part of something huge.

The biggest lie about this crap is that it 'starts people on the way to more serious music' .

the worst thing to happen to electronic music yet.... (apart from trap)

'edm is my life duuude..'

'youre a twatheaded twitter hungry social media twat..'

EDM

EDM stands for electronic dance music. It is very similar, if not the same, as techno. It is more than often wordless and is either hated or loved by people. It is a rather repetitive genre of music and is often used in games. Two of the most famous EDM artists are Calvin Harris and the Fat Rat.

Tim : Don't you love EDM ? Here, listen to Unity by the Fat Rat.
Sean : Fuck off with your EDM shit
Dylan : Let me listen, I like EDM
