I give up ever trying to trainspot contemporary EDM ever again. David Guetta is considered a House DJ? To me his stuff sounds like trance and nothing like the early house of the 80s. Or is "Progressive House" just code for Trance to make it seem new and shiny.

whatever passes for prog house nowadays bares little resemblance to the stuff i danced to back in the late 90's. now it's just kids trampling my lawn.

I've never seen so many sub-genres spring up as you see under the Electronic Music genre. Last night I saw something referred to as LoveStep :-\ What ever it was it was a pretty crap track.
As pointed out by sweetcell, Electronic Music Genre's also seem to get dumbed down as their reach a wider audience. Dubstep was around several years before Skrillex started "dropping the bass". As it suggests early Dudstep was the bring together of Drum and Bass and 2-step. Now it's just of a bunch of EDM heads, sitting in front of laptops tweaking samples. No sense of song structure in the Brostep…

the creation of sub-sub-genres in electronic music is really interesting to me, in a can't-look-away sort of way. i think it's because EDM is so democratic - anyone with a computer can make it, so they are also free to call "their genre" whatever they want.
did every rock band feel then need to label themselves differently? "we're not garage-rock, we're standing-out-in-the-driveway rock". come to thing of it, metal does get into its myriad sub-genres. but like EMD, the majority of the stuff that makes up those sub-genres is pure crap.

i did a google on lovestep today, apparently it's also called Sexstep
and this will make one's head spin…

"Lovestep, also known in some circles as Soulstep, Chillstep, Dubwave, and Chillwave, is a sub-class of the Dubstep and UK Garage music genres. Lovestep has the same strong, dark, and rhythmic basslines as Dubstep, but lacks the heavy distortions commonly found in Dubstep tracks. Instead, Lovestep songs tend to have more melodic undertones, with occasional vocal sampling from western Pop and R&B tracks. Future Garage, Minimal, Glitch, Downtempo, & Deep House should be considered both as influencers, and close cousins of the Lovestep genre."
so basically Lovestep is equivalent to Handbag House ;D

When I was still living in the Detroit Area several years ago, I walked into what I thought was to be a new record store called "Rock and Roll Hunters". What was missing from the sign I saw were the words "Ted Nugent's Rock and Roll Hunters". What I walked into was a shop for bow hunters… Needless to say, I turned around very quickly, given the unwelcome stares I got from those already in the store.

i feel like metal is up there, if not worse. don't ask me to tell you the difference between black metal and thrash metal. it all just sounds like noise to me. but good noise.
I'm addicted to twitter… and this came along today
?@Tonuspomus: I never said Bowie would never perform live again. Pitchfork made that up.? TonusPomus aka Tony Visconti the producer of new Bowie album
And now Irvine Welsh's response which I'm still LOLing over….
" Anybody know best way to clean spunk of a screen?"

I think someone must have rang up Jan Hammer by mistake, instead of Juan Atkins….
