Educational dance music (EduDM) is a genre of dance music created by DJ Kronotrope. This is essentially dance music that doubles up as an educational tool by imparting valuable knowledge to specialist groups and/or the general public through song.
Songs have been used as a medium for imparting knowledge for centuries. Though inferior in many respects to more traditional forms of learning, they remain especially potent for delivering small pieces of important information – especially the kind that needs to be memorised. This is because most songs contain loops. Usually, melodies constitute such loops; but for many songs with vocals, even lyrics loop. Looped lyrics assail the listener's mind and 'drill the information into one's head', so to speak.
EduDM songs must satisfy the conditions listed below:
1. The song qualifies as dance music
2. The knowledge imparted is valuable
3. The knowledge is 100% factually correct based on authoritative sources such as recognised academic journals
4. The knowledge imparted is not revisable within the foreseeable future
5. The song features no vulgar content (e.g. vulgar songs about sex and drugs cannot qualify as EduDM)

1. Educational dance music songs can save lives. It's true!
2. Educational dance music provides a means by which specialists in their respective fields of work can show off how much knowledge they possess about a subject to people that don't really care.
3. Tom: "I was so drunk last night that I couldn't even remember whether or not I was making out with Anne or Sarah. For some reason, though, I seem to know all about Heideggerian metaphysics, quantum mechanics, and how to perform a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral saphingo-oophorectomy. Word."
Brad: "It was the EduDM, man. EduDM was being played at that club all night."
Sarah: "I LOVE EduDM!"

Get the Driver's Education mug.A school system that full of exaggerated claims, false hopes, and empty promises. The American public school system is a shitty school system. It is a school system that take in billions of dollars annually, pays no income taxes, and always needs more money. Public school education easily has the biggest bullshit story in the world. With that said most kids would agree that the American public school education system is completely incompetent and just doesn't even give a fuck. They don't give a fuck about kids. If everyone knew that than the American public school education system would be out on the loving, caring ass a long time ago.
This is why a homemaker cannot hold a candle to a high school principal. When it comes to believing in anything public school education says I tried. I really did try. I really did try to believe that public school education was the best education system in the world, I found out that public school education is nothing more that total bullshit. This is why I have a hostile view towards the American public school education system.
