This guide sounds like 90% of EDM styles sound very simmilar, most have vocal, simmilar drops, same sounds. And that is simply opposite of truth.

See: Aftermath - Prada (2005), The Sound - Sebastian Ingrosso & Steve Angelo Remix (2005), Just a Little More Love (Elektro Maxi or Walley Lopez Extended Remix) - David Guetta (2002), Afterhours (Electro House Remix) - deadmau5 & Melleefresh (2007).

I remember that electro house (and later the dirty dutch sound) was absolutely everywhere here in NL in the pre-Avicii and Bigroom era. Me and my friends would call it 'pukkelhouse' (free translated as pimpel house) as a reference to the many young teenage kids listening to it. With the swedish wave and rise of Bigroom, this sound disappeared incredibly quickly! Even other styles such as dubstep and even trance had to adapt/evolve to stay relevant, as such was the popularity of these new sounds.

For "Sadboi", where did you get that psychology quote? Did you pull it from an article somewhere? Looking up Brattico's research papers I can't find that conclusion anywhere. When broadening my search I find more of a mixed bag (without strong conclusions either way). For instance, it has been found that depressed people often feel pleasure from sad songs. That's very important to consider when pleasure is in extremely short supply for depressed people. I mostly agree with the "in moderation" conclusion, but the thing I would rather encourage is "mindfulness". The devil is really in the details for each person's situation, and that doesn't necessarily mean a moderate approach. Personal anecdotes involving depression incoming. (Also none of this is a defense of "sadboi" music, but rather about sad music in general) For some, completely eliminating all the sad music from your life as much as possible will work. For others (like me), forcing myself to listen to happier music when I was depressed and couldn't connect with it while everyone else did just made me feel worse. It was like a reminder of how I felt broken and alien from everyone else, especially since most of the people close to me in my life were the dismissive "you should just surround yourself with happy stuff and then you'll be better" types. The sad music I had made me feel like I wasn't alone and actually helped me to distance myself from the idea of removing myself from this world. When I run into a huge, painful problem in my life, I tend to find sad music that represents and explores the issue perfectly and I inundate myself with it until I've fully processed it (which can take a really long time, especially with existential stuff). Then I rarely, if ever, listen to those specific sad songs again except to feel positive about how far I've come, and I feel better in the broadest sense of the term (rather than just being temporarily distracted AT BEST by listening to "happier" stuff). And there are many artists who make sad music that fill this kind of niche, sometimes explicitly stating in interviews that it's ended up being like a big group therapy for both the artist and the fans. But once again, that's only relevant for a specific scenario. A depressive friend of mine was listening to artists who often even encouraged misanthropy, getting worse, and removing yourself from this world, and he was extremely grateful and much better off after being opened up to other, more positive genres by someone else. His solution ended up being almost the reverse of mine, and I hope this all illustrates the point about being mindful of specifics. With our opposite needs being fulfilled, my friend and I both ended up in a better place in our lives. If research does come out that very strongly shows what the proper course is concerning the above, then I would defer to that for general practice, but from what I've read so far the research still has a long way to go. We need to exercise some of our own critical thinking on the matter regardless, imo.

Agreed. For me saying that “sad music makes you depressed” it’s like saying: “why can’t you just be happy” to someone who struggles through life. Sadness and difficulties are an intrinsic part of life, you can’t just pretend that they do not exist. What you can do instead is to learn how to accept those moment of sadness, how to not let them take the best of you. I once read in a book that “only people who don’t know how to feel sad get depressed”. and I kinda agree on that: it means that depression arises from the incapacity to react to difficult situation. Personally Illenium music helped me a lot to understand all of these things in my personal moments of struggle,

Y'all are really just trying to make excuses. Straight up. The difference in all the world is the lyrics. If what you're chiefly listening to is songs about regretting the sad stuff or being trapped by the sad stuff or alone, it can totally harsh your subconscious vibe. Same as denying yourself certain feelings in songs. It's like people are all the colors of a rainbow combined into one, bright white light, and what you surround yourself with becomes the lens in what that light shines through. Didn't let myself listen to angry stuff for a long time and it made me feel like talking to others was useless because the trauma and PTSD was always there saying my voice wasn't worth hearing because the future wasn't for me. But I started listening to that stuff again along with some hopeful motivational stuff and it lit a fire in me to start analyzing things and caring about life a bit more. Go for what's best since everyone's already gone anyways...there's happiness to the sadness yes. The moments of solidarity in the final hours, the uprising of the underdog no matter the unrecoverable cost, the warm acceptance of what happened and what's to come. But if you're listening to sad stuff strictly attributing to more sad stuff through the lyrics or your memories associated with the songs, you'll get trapped in a little loop in the back of your mind that repeats your mistakes in life in the back of your head any time you mess up in the future. Because your comfort zone will just be reminding you of more sad stuff than good. Have to learn to enjoy all the colors of life so we're magical and shining like we need to. Instead of like...dookie brown like a Houston sunset.

Things and people have continuously been erased and lost over and over through the years. 27. And I'm fed up with all the sadness in the world. We need to change. And not fall to the entropy.

The latter definition of progressive house is better known as _festival_ progressive house Big room is more oriented towards the bass drop (e.g. Animals by Martin Garrix, TSUNAMI by DVBBS, Tremor by DV&LM & Garrix). Melodic big room is a thing (e.g. KSHMR, Ummet Ozcan, Headhunterz during his EDM days) It can also be combined with Melbourne bounce (e.g. Karate by R3HAB & KSHMR, #SELFIE by The Chainsmokers, pre-2017 VINAI, Deorro, Sally by Hardwell) As for the ILLENIUM backstory, the Sadboi evolution started with “Take Me Down” on his _Ascend_ album, which detailed his struggles with substance abuse and nearly took his own life on drug overdose. He has stayed clean and sober ever since. Coincidence? I think not Hardstyle recently crossed over into big room as well when guys at Revealed like Dr Phunk started doing that stuff. It is not always at 150 BPM (e.g. Headhunterz’s Spaceman remix, Shocker, Turn The Music Up!)

Plus DnB has many different sub-genres (Neuro, Liquid, Jump Up and others). And having no Hardstyle scene in the states, its understandable that they wouldn't know Hardstyle has different sub-genres too (Euphoric, Rawphoric and Raw). Also, completely missed Hardcore. Which is one of the fastest at 180+ bpm. Angerfist and Deadly Gunz are perfect examples. It was a great explanation of the different house and trance styles. I hope we will get a part 2, where DnB and Hardstyle have the sub-genres explained.

one note tho: Sadboi = Future Bass (maybe just a melancholic side of it that you're referring to) + plz stop feeding the belief that sad songs make you sad or depressed. Of course they can temporarily make you feel more sadness/negative emotions but they can also help you move through them instead of supressing the emotions. It often gets worse before it gets better, just part of the process. Other than that thanks for the vid tho, enjoyed your perspective + examples

Was on board with this until I read, "Dubstep: Because of its fast BPM, fans dance to every other beat; the most natural movement for this is headbanging." Dubstep is generally around ~70bpm at 2/2. I would never consider that fast. Headbanging every other beat is a very slow motion compared to the fast pace of something like psytrance of DnB which are ~140bpm at 4/4. Then you put breakbeats and DnB in the same classification when breakbeats are generally much slower than DnB. They're both using breakbeats but DnB is using 4 breaks per measure. Appreciate the attempts and think the beginning of this is pretty solid but some of this is a bit questionable.

saying "beat" when talking about music doesn't always mean, you know, "beat". most dubstep is made with the kick and snares at 75bpm at 2/2, correct. however, the growls and however you wanna call the synths never go that slow, they are rhythmically much faster and they can act as a "beat" when talking about time measurements. they can be as fast as 150bpm at 3/4 as seen in the video.

I loved watching future bass getting shat on and called "sadboi". Future bass, as I see it, is like the "happy version of bass trap music" (not meaning there aren't happy feeling bass trap songs. It just has a way more melodic approach to it. It can be really really generic (for example Martin Garrix's 'In the name of love'), but the good thing about Future Bass is that it's a really versitile genre and it can assume many different forms. Illenium, San Holo, Droeloe, even The Chainsmokers, they all have their own forms of future bass. It's also the beauty of music - genres can mutate and be adapted to the producers view of the genre; it doesn't have to be black and white; it can have the whole spectrum of colours, which is beautiful!

Psy Trance comment: Music genres blurs into each other faster these days. But, as you mention, the progressive trance is a argued genre. When I try to explain Progressive trance (psytrance) I mention "Hatikwa - Mary had a little lamb" and even "Fabio Fusco - I see the Future" and "Krama - Exhale the Past." A bit darker and "slower" feeling from normal psy trance. Or what genre would you place those three songs in? Psy trance for me has two main subgenres; "just" the Psychedelic Trance and "Full On". Psy trance for me: Pop Art - Disco Madness / Mandragora - Sem Chão / Astrix & Juno Reactor - Pistolero Full on for me is when most of the track is doing the "horse gallop", like "Ovnimoon & Don Quixote - Tesoro Interior", "Transient Disorder & Reborn - TimeKeepers" and a bit darker version of Full On (maybe even Prog. Psy Trance?) is "Skazi & Invisible Reality - Mental Voice". A side note: Entrylevel psy trance for newbies, I usually introduce them for: "WHITENO1SE & Ranji Ft. Nina Nesbitt - The Moments I'm Missing". And then there's the whole Dark Psy Trance, with fx. "Ocelot - Turn It Up"... And where would you put Quazar - Instict? :D (I may have mixed the genres, but it's harder these days to differentiate). I may have been using a lot of time writing this comment for no one to comment on, but yeah... That's KZitem :D

One correction; Eurodance (one word) is not from the 80s, it's from the 90s. In fact the term was not coined until 1994 for a particular style of commercial dance music. In fact early Eurodance was often called techno that was radio friendly as techno was the catch-all term in the 90s as the term EDM hadn't been invented yet.

Love the effort you put into this video! As a DJ i am very interested in learning the intricacies as others see them. I do feel you missed a beat so to speak in your distinction (or rather lack thereoff) between progressive and melodic house. Progressive house progresses/develops during the track, very minimal, often no real drops or breaks, like a train that keeps rolling. Great examples are (almost) every GuyJ track. melodic house is often thrown in with melodic techno (on beatport it is one genre: melodic house and techno) and is very very different from progressive. Bigger drops, more vocals and catchy synths, more variation in the energy so to speak. Mees Salome and Eelke Kleijn are masters in this genre. You missed a very important subgenre: organic house. (Sebastien Leger anyone?). Hope this helps should you ever decide to make a v2 version! keep up the great work!

Still, it is a solid explainer for currently hot (in the USA) EDM flavors. The one that always gets me is how the term "deep house" now refers to REALLY different music from what it did 20 years ago. 20 years ago, "deep house" meant Naked Music and OM Records, jazzy, soulful, Latin-infused house music.

Enjoyed this video but it did feature something I've come across quite a lot. to me, deep house is house with jazz/soul elements, for example French Tune - Old chap. I know Anjunadeep are a massive label and of course refer to their songs as deep house but I've always thought of that more as melodic house. If you google "deep house" the definition seems to be much more in line with what I consider it as. Just wondering if anyone else has come across this or also uses deep house how I do. I understand why it's used elsewhere because artists like Tinlicker and Durante do have a very 'deep' feeling to their songs but I would argue that name has already been taken

I'm one of the few people that _refuse_ to accept that the term "EDM" is a specific genre of music. I always hate it when Wikipedia classifies a song like "Save Me" by Darren Styles as "Hardcore" (although "UK Hardcore" would be better), yet classifies a song like "Blame" by Calvin Harris as simply "EDM"? That doesn't even make sense. Even if this video is inaccurate in most cases, at least it knows that "EDM" isn't _a_ genre. People need to understand that Progressive House, and Electro House, are "EDM", but "EDM" is _also_ Frenchcore, Hardstyle, etc.

genres are not “stupid, arbitrary devices.” because sets of some of music can be contrasted from chord progression, melody, richness and complexity of musical phrasing, and the percussion used to support melody and harmony, genres are not only necessary, but in intelligent way to classify music. They are not entirely subjective. There’s a reason that music theory is an academic subject.
@kenzotk
Жыл бұрын
genres are not very helpful or accurate devices to describe the creativity and nuance of music. while some aspects of music can be objectively measured, such as chord progression, melody, and percussion, they do not capture the whole picture and meaning of music. music is more than just a combination of sounds, it is a form of expression, communication, and culture. genres are not essential or intelligent, they are limiting and biased. they are based on subjective criteria that changes depending on time and place. they often overlook the influences and interactions between different musical styles. also, music theory is not a final or universal truth, it is a human construct that reflects the preferences and values of certain groups of people. therefore, genres are not a reliable way to classify music. they are "stupid, arbitrary devices" that should be questioned and overshadowed.

Dude, this was not *anything* explained. Did you even try to do any research outside of Wikipedia for this stuff? So many comments have mentioned the example used at 7:01 not really being Tropical House. There is scant mention of anything European or out of the UK. There is clear and condescending bias when it comes to several of your examples and “explanations” that get worse as the video continues. The explanations are so elementary and yet at 17:39 you insert a bit about your theory… none of us are here for that, put it in a different video perhaps. I think it’s so lame when people like you try to posture like they have knowledge about such a VAST genre of music when it’s obviously a slapped together video showcasing what *you, personally,* like and are interested in, and what you are not. I am personally not a huge fan of some of these genres or subgenres of EDM but I wouldn’t want to hate on someone for enjoying what isn’t my cup of tea. And the appropriation stuff… Let me just say: why is it okay for artists and DJs to explore and incorporate characteristics of other cultures (to list a random few: Caribbean, Latin, African, etc.) but it’s NOT okay for them to do the same for elements of Native American cultures’ characteristics? You do understand that Native American people are a varied group of people whose lineage today can be traced back to hundreds of tribes throughout North and South America, right? I know what you are referring to at 16:17 by mentioning the Armin Van Burren track. Please tell me specifically which Native American people you would have liked to hear sing the lyrics? Because some tribes did perform chants that could sound similar in their culture but some did not. I could go on but I’ll just say this: You know very little about much of what you put in this video, and you should have titled it “26 EDM genres and what I think they are, my opinions, and some inaccurate examples”.
