Can everyone just be thankful that this person took the time to make a video explaining genres for new people who know nothing about our music. It’s a decent video.
Jacob Sims nah, he didn’t explain that all is edm and that hardtyle is not a sub genre of hardcore, hardstyle is sub genre like hardcore progessive house and other sub genres
"Tech House", "Acid House" I've never heard of that, but Future House missing. I think he should just include the most famous genres. I don't know if Tech/Acid House are very known but i don't think so.
I love the video goes in absolute precise detail and then just classes up hardcore with some unknown shit and places hardstyle and gabber together. Hardhouse and hardtrance were completely left out. Both played a huge role in the UK and in Germany in the 90's and even in other european countries...
guys don't waste ur time watching this, TND5 Mixes/Alsky Music has a better video called "The Genres of Electronic Music" ruclips.net/video/4P3oCqnYSlU/видео.html
@@Zack-cl2qu No.. They steal things and make them worse... Think of all the wonderful cheese that Europe makes. USA stole it and created industrial spray on cheese... Wonderful...
Damn it bro thanks alot looking for this ... its about 5 years with EDM but that House song which was played first was fucking awesome ... gosh if I could find more like this ... if you guys know any playlist with that heavy bass house music "revolution 909" please share it , thanks alot again bro !
the Nightcore in this video refers to remix that use high pitched samples and have an overall faster feeling, which quite frankly takes the equal ammount of skill like the normal remixes. But that has nothing to do with what you find here on youtube where ppl think speeding up some song with propotional pitch is enough to call it nightcore. and THAT is the same as calling *bass boosted* a genre

In all the comments I saw no reccommendation or mention of one genre: Synthwave (also sometimes called retro-electro, basically mid-to-late 80's beats and tracks with just a touch of "modernism"). There are even subgenres of it, like Darksynth, Post-Darksynth, Horror Synth and Slasherwave, Cybersynth, Chillsynth, FutureSynth / Space Synth, Dreamwave, Outrun, (Neo) Italo Disco and Vaporwave (and probably some more). I just feel like it should not be left out, It's getting more and more popular (at least where I live) and I love it!
Was looking for this comment wondering in which category synthwave would fit into. So it's not a sub genre but a genre after all? (I'm kinda new to electronic music so sorry for this basic question)
Wild Chandelure it's one of those cases where it's like you're listening to the same thing from different people a million times over, except you actually get tired of it unlike the pop and rap music that most people listen to.
Skrillex Wiki As a dubstep fan, I'll take Riddim over Big Room but both have great songs in them, even the pinnacle famous ones like Head Crush for Riddim and Animals for Big Room.
30 years of being an EDM fan. Been through many phases and have music in nearly every one of these genres. Some better and more memorable than others. Good vid - thanks for this.
If producer tries to stick within frames of one genre, he's nothing more than mediocre producer. He's inbreeding himself artistically. However genre classification is needed, for listeners who seek music with specific set of traits. It's not only tied to structure of the tracks, but also on what type of samples and instruments were used, atmosphere and when and where it was created. In years 1987-1993, during Rave era, which I'm fan of, existed like 15 subgenres of underground dance music. But during that time nobody cathegorized most of it yet, it was done years later by enthusiasts of the music.
I totally agree, and yet these sub-genres are often created by insecure, douchebag artists who are trying to convince themselves they aren't douches, or to try and make themselves seem more edgy or unique. You see this kind of stuff throughout human culture, however, so not surprising we see it here. Ever seen a car covered with stickers from one sports team? Or someone dressed head to toe in one brand? All attempts to belong because people don't know who they are.
A lot of producers, myself included, make a song without any restraints and then after we're done, try to define it in terms of genres. That's where a lot of sub-genres come from. If you make music and don't have any way to define it in terms of genre, it makes it much harder to grow a following; No one can find you!
I think this many subgenres is hard for me starting learning, for example, i have started a melody in my daw but i need to know what subgenre this project should follow, so its a little frustating(im talking about BEGINNERS, if you know a lot of sub genres so you dont need to " stick within frames of one genre" but if yu are beginner, you should at least on the beginning) Nomi, the idiot Making a song without know what genre will be is danger, i did songs like this too but the result was "this sounds like child music" and i know others producers that have the same "shild musisc sounds like", but if this works for you nice...
Some more genres: Hard Trap Jungle Terror (the Wiwek thing) Hard Bass (the Russian thing) FrenchCore Future Bass Melodic Dubstep (The Seven Lions thing) Tropical House Brazilian Bass Minimal Techno Groove Happy Hardcore (the S3RL thing) Synth Pop (the Porter Robinson thing) Great video btw
@@Latinfairy777, you said so: "some", a.k.a. "not all of them". Go check Skream who has been doing it "melodic" ever since before 2006. Now you're gonna tell me that "Chillstep" is also a legit subgenre, won't you? XD I'm gonna summarize all further discussion with this comment. Seriously, read it: www.reddit.com/r/dubstep/comments/5jv3xa/different_subgenres_of_dubstep/dbk75ug?
One thing I would have done differently is include more bass genres because there are a couple that weren't mentioned even though I can atone to the fact that their followings are huge
Future Bass, Chillstep, Riddim... A lot o the bassier genres. I definitely think riddim is notable though because it's like the second coming of classic dubstep, but with some modern twists.
I actually love glitch. In a song, every new note grabs my attention and throws it in another direction. Glitch makes me bounce around in my own head, kinda, but it keeps me paying attention to the music to appreciate it, as I tend to daydream a lot in other genres

The only way I could ever explain Hardstyle was, and I quote, "very catchy beat that sounds like an amplified version of someone slapping a metal hood of a car, hard." Still my favorite genre.
I kinda hate how Skrillex gets all the credit/blame for inventing "brostep" when Datsik, Downlink, and Excision were laying the groundwork for all that a year before Scary Monsters even dropped.
Breakcore would be hard to show, just showing one song would be completely insufficient since it varies so much, some breakcore songs are basically like 60% frenchcore or can be similar to liquid dnb, can be really noisy, can be really jarring or atonal or not have any kind of beat at all, etc its just too complex and wide of a genre
As a kid who grew up in the rave scene in the early 90's, I couldn't really ask for a better overview. The final bits about EDM/Electronica were on point, and I was actively rocking out to half the tracks featured from memory alone. Top notch job.
Genre Police here. We got a call about a youtube content provider waltzing over the Techno genre without sufficient or accurate examples? *Removes Green Velvet style sunglasses, unhooks walkie talkie. "Lets see here...khh... OK team, subject has appeared to have provided only... two examples of techno to represent the entire genre....khh.... no sir... it's Orbital .. khh... Orbital., yes one of their breakbeat tracks... and Leftfield.... khh., yes both UK rave/breakbeat acts. No... No Detroit Producers... neither wave.... No, no German producers... no he's moved onto Trance, GO,GO,go go! signals to a team of emergency SWAT Genre Police to sweep in with a collection of Juan Atkins, Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Micheal Mayer, Dj Koze, Marco Remus, James Ruskin, Green Velvet, Adam Beyer, etc etc etc etc.
DnB came out of junlge. Jungle started in early 90s as a more reggae/dub influenced form of the popular rave music at the time (breakbeat hardcore, techno, acid house) with bass and beats at the centre. DnB formed later where ragga influences were dropped in favour of a darker or jazzier sound (Andy C, Roni Size etc) which was more commercially viable, and significantly was less focused on black british culture.
@@jonasnisse4257 yeah you're right. Brushed up on more of my history since this original comment, and tho i wouldn't necessarily say I was wrong a year ago, it doesn't quite fully represent the relationship between the 2 genres. And absolutely agreed on the fact that dnb became a whitewashed form of Jungle. The effects of that are still more than evident today when you look at PoC representation in the scenes.
@@jrnas8046 I think whitewashed in a strong way to put it. Jungle went mainstream and naturally white artists aren’t going to have the same black influences that defined jungle. That’s just the effect of a London/inner city subculture going global. Foghorn rollers can fuck off though.
Thank you for differentiating dubstep from brostep! There is a difference. I personally listen to jungle dnb, old school dubstep, trance/psy trance the most.
I must be one of the few that listens to both brostep and dubstep. Just depends on the mood, sometimes I want to listen to deep and dark other times aggressive sounding. Just like I do with different genres of dnb.
@@ccricers have you heard gorilla flex by funtcase before? I like old school aggressive like that... Sub focus has some dope shit time warp vip, stomp & many more. Of course rusko is a big fave of mine & Dr P watch out or license or sweat shop are all old school and super original
Molly really helps to analyze every track in a different way than without drug. I don’t know if it’s ok or not but I can say by my experience that you cannot feel the music as much as when you are high.
There's also Retrowave/Synthwave that's shooting up right now. I know you've not mentioned some genres but I thought it'll be nice that people know about Retrowave hahah
I've been listening to electronic music since my teens in the 90s and, even thou I have strong opinions on the list itself, you have made a pretty decent classification. Good choice of classics btw! Liked.
This video was so helpful and informative! I've been into electronic music for a while but it's always so hard to really pin down what genres I'm hearing, and this summarizes them in a way that was really useful.
Some of the guide is very opinionated in it's explanation and personally some of the things said like "Take away all the stuff that makes House great..." was just infuriating to someone who listens to this type music. It's not a bad guide if he would've kept his opinions out of it, it's clear which genres he liked the most and which he didn't.
@@ZyrusSmith Cold and robotic? Try industrial techno, maybe acid techno. The artist Zamilska comes to my mind. Maybe the soundtrack of RUINER, an excellent video game.
@@ZyrusSmith This isn't really robotic, but try minimal techno. It's cold and dark, but is also really energetic. Droplex, RTTWLR, and Boris Brejcha are good artists to check out!
reogaro That's not gabber either. If you were there you should know. Gabber came on the scene in 95-96 and seems to now a days be associated with an earlier style starting back in 1991 or so. The thing is original genre names over the decades has changed from one generation to the next. The new guard keeps confusing via mixing and matching genre names the old guard once used. It's a multi- faceted mess and certainly needs be simplified.
I’m literally here bc the song choices are great, but also I’ve been into EDM since the goddamn 90s and the EDM Twitter genre police fucking scare me 🤣
The most sad thing about all the non pop music genres is really the listeners. I came to this video mainly to get some nice new songs to listen to, I check the comment section and see; Surprise! People bitching about this being whatever not and that not being this. Personally I couldn't care less. If the music is good I'll listen to it; the end. Is there really no one else who feels that way? I don't know much about the subgenres but good video either way! A lot of time was put into it and I got some nice new songs to listen to (Y)
i agree with you. i hate it when people just call it "electronica". i tell them it's like i call all their music instrumental because it uses instruments in it as opposed to computer generated.
Good vid mate! Only thing I would say is you could of went deeper into drum and bass sub genres but other than that splendid job! Love the last bit! 😂 I can't stand people who say oh I listen to EDM man... haha
@@miscellaneous1276 Dub uses effects and is a genre used for some songs of a lot of electronic musicians (in a trance goa album for example, see T.I.P), so it doesn't bother me that it is listed here.
Not bad, dude, not bad. Some of the track selections were great, others really confused me. Definitely more of a focus on popular tracks, and no underground representation, but that’s okay. The one big disappointment is your treatment of techno. You just completely glazed over it. I take it techno isn’t your thing. That’s not something a techno head would do.. Still, this was challenging, and I give you credit for trying. ✌🏼
+Nikola Demitri I have always had a hard time recognising techno. I often hear that techno is supposed to be "heavy" with "lots of bass beats", but the techno music in this video doesn't seem particularly heavy to me. When I think of techno I usually think of things like "Get Ready For This" by 2 Unlimited and things like that, but apparently that song is closer to House.
@@Peter_1986 I don't think "Get ready for this" has a house feeling. For me it has no parental link with disco nor funk, it's mechanic, hard, cold. For me it's techno. Or dance, in its radio version. In the same genre, this one is techno for me : Antico - Freedom (ruclips.net/video/hHYOwVW7YyA/видео.html). The kind of techno which is darker and has not a lot of notes is rather called "minimal (techno)". But I presume some people will class those 2 tracks in house.
Mostly angry you didn't delve in to any sub-genres for TECHNO like you did most of the others. Considering it's one of the two founding genres along with House, and that it has many subgenres, I find this a pretty massive oversight. Otherwise, not bad.
I love happy hardcore, the 90's and early 00's is great. I can see where those tracks have originated from the 80's rave seen. My older bro is an 80's raver, I was a slightly more civilised 90's, club going, general dance music lover. If I could get up and dance, then any music was fine with me. A good drop, good beat, old skool lyrics, rather amusing MC'ing were great ingredients for a great track, more ingredients could be added but definitely good basic requirements. Happy Hardcore had it all, I always loved the bouncy beats and there were some fantastic drops in there. I'm early 40's now and I think I might be a little old for the electronic dance music scene overall, I do miss those times, back in the dark ages, when I was growing up.............................
Really good video actually! Nice examples of each, too. Clear and distinct examples with good descriptions. I would have included though: - Under "Techno", there is Dub Techno, Electro, Minimal, Ghettotech. also thank you for including 2-step garage :)
My favorites besides House weren't specifically mentioned but I knew you couldn't describe every single genre lol.. 80's Boogie (Post Disco), Hi NRG, Euro/Italo Disco, Electro, Freestyle.
I think that nowadays we can insert at “others” category: Vaporwave, Lo-Fi beats (mostly chill jazzy hip hop), and synthwave (or darksynth, futuresynth, whatever they call those cyberpunk-80’s-purple-neon style that is rising on the internet).
I'm sure the majority of today's people that listen to electronic music call it edm as a genre and identify all others as sub genres... they are all just uninformed it's not really their fault.. I think calling it edm as a whole is perfectly fine sorry old heads
Calling it all edm is a mistake. Not all electronic music has been made in order to damce to. Further on edm was used after the usa rediscovered dance at the end of the 00s. You dont have the right to give something a name if you have been ignoring it for so long. And if you said to a dj: so you make edm music, lots of djs will find this insulting because edm is associated with david guetta, afrojack kind of dance music, very commercial. So.....dont call it all Edm
Even though I'm slightly sad to not see Glitch Hop or Tropical House here, you included Chiptune and Electroswing, AND used Caravan Palace as the example for Electroswing, so overall I'm happy. Good work man!
Ryan W Caravan Palace is still my favorite, but I won't argue that. Parov Stelar is a genius when it comes to ElectroSwing, or really just good music in general.
I mostly listen to metal, rock, punk, videogames music and movie score. I like electronic influences in these genres, but I wouldn't say I listen to electronic music in its pure form (except for remixes of videogames-music like Pokémon or fanmade songs). And NOW I fucking understand why people get confused with all the metal subgenres. Even with this video I don't get the little and fine differences between most of the subgenres - barely the main genres. :D
It's kind of a huge genre, but you should check out electro-industrial. It's nice and loud, plus it has some good sub-subgenres. And I completely agree with you regarding the metal subgenres, I've been into metal for aaaages and still find new subgenres that I like.
Genre police We are here to tell that your favorite songs belong somewhere else I know that you like it just because you do but I'm here to take the fall just for you whether we are right even if we're wrong we'll still tell you all the facts about this song this is what we do we are here to stay Genre police are here to save the day
I wish I had the equipment and patience to make a video just like this lol. I've been wanting to do it ever since discovering "Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music" like 10 years ago now. I know it's difficult nailing each genre, subgenre, and sub-subgenre of EDM, especially when they just keep mixing and growing! But thank you for making this video I appreciate the effort!! 😎
+Sebizzar Ishkur's guide is horribly outdated and subjective. That's one of the reasons I just sat down, wrote down all the genres I know and did a lot of research :P If I could make a website I'd do it too! But yeah, this is also not 100% correct anymore... Really glad you appreciate it :D
this video has some outdated stuff nowbut not everything. Some genres' description are incorrect, I especially think that for big room. big room, from experience of listening to it, is music that aims to reproduce the sense of listening in a big room(duh) using highly reverberated instruments. At least it is what I've come up to seing what's considered big room *now* for some music labels (like Diversity from which I enjoy a lot of songs). but I may be incorrect, like I often am...
Hardstyle has some influences of hardcore, however hardcore =/= gabber, so gabber and hardstyle are like cousins more like. And I know from the experience that I'm not my cousin.
To avoid confusing new comers too much. We want to stop people from calling all electronic music Dubstep and Techno. Confusing them isn't the way to do that and an information overload will confuse any newcomer
@@RiggedFem It was an answer equal to what the uploader said at the beginning of the video. Keep it simple. It's not simple if he mentions every damn subgenre out there. This video is meant as an introduction to Electronic Music for newcomers. Not a guide to advanced and experienced listeners. There's a difference
A lot of work has gone into this video, thanks a ton! It's always risky trying to put things into boxes, but for me it has been a very nice overview. I am toying around with some pocket operators and trying to find a direction in which to experiment, so this has certainly helped :)
Got hardcore all wrong FTS - Showtek is a hardstyle track as is Headhunterz - colours (got that right at least). Actual hardcore which gabber is actually more related to than hardstyle would be artists like angerfist, tha playah, miss k8, destructive tendencies, etc. forgot to mention raw hardstyle which is an inbetween of hardstyle and hardcore. Could've also mentioned Happy hardcore but its pretty similar to nightcore so Donworry
Very nice video! Although I disagree with the "EDM is an umbrella for all electronic music", I loved this execution. EDM might have been an umbrella, but that's just what we always called "electronic music" or "electronica". The genre people refer to as EDM now might just need a proper name, but it has definitely been assigned that name (for now). Can we call it EgoStroke? You always see the DJ up there twiddeling knobs, fist-pumping and generally basking in the praise given by the hundreds of mindless sheep think this is good shit?
Agreed. 1) gabber is a culture around hardcore music, or a person who represents the culture 2) hardstyle is no hardcore 3) no subgenres on hardcore were introduced at all Makes me doubt everything else on the video as well.
It's 2016, I think Future Bass is big enough for a mention. Also... bass isn't a genre... not really... Also it might be good to mention that Future/Deep House and Glitch/Glitch Hop usually have swing. And Drumstep is a sub genre of DnB! But I do understand who you wouldn't put it under breakbeat, but I still think it'd be good to mention. Also... while I agree with you about disliking big room, you probably shouldn't share opinions (especially when you state them as facts) in an informative video. This was interesting though, I really should explore more obscure genres like industrial and early electronic and techno.
Lafv :D Industrial really isn't that obscure. Nine Inch Nails does it all the time, granted he fuses it with rock and metal, but he's still popular, same with Rammstein and Celldweller.
Excellent ending. I was ready to disagree completely with this but the whole video is great. Yes of course, many genres are missing but this encapsulates the main info required for starters. Well done!
Hi, thank you for this. I like to listen to metal but ofc I like other generes too. Since I know almost 0 about this world, I was mostly guided by the "feeling" of the songs in me. And they seem to be from different generes. (Paul Van Dyck? Feint?) are some examples. But when I tried to listen to the recomended videos (on YT) next to them, most of em were so different... 12:24 I got lost here. This genere is like a test of all previous stuff? xD I'm tempted to do a video explaining different metal generes. But I don't know that much. Thank you for this! I'll keep exploring :D Btw: Is hardbass a substyle of Bass I guess?
The idea of the video is very good however there are some wrong facts and tons of other genres, i mean a video like these would require even a hour to explain all the subgenres, for example you haven't listed a single techno subgenre but there are a lot (minimal, hard and so on) maybe you do not listen to techno so it's ok. I think that we should take an artist per genre that knows how to differentiate even chiptune from glitchop that some tracks fall in one genre rather than other just for a missknowledge (i hope missknowledge exist as word ps i'm not english...but this was obvious). Finally some genres are imho in the wrong section and some of them (at least their representational track) do not let know the differences. Very nice idea but needs some tuning
I just want to change one thing. gabber and hardstyle are NOT the same. gabber ended up what is called 'hardcore' now, hardstyle was a mix between techno and hardcore and went into its own style. Later during 2010 and further, raw hardstyle was created and branched off as a side-genre to hardstyle. Even hardcore has its own sub-genres for example 'uptempo hardcore', 'schranz' 'terror' and 'crossbreed'
Excellent break-down. Unfortunately, didn't quite hit the mark w/ BreakBeat. You couldn't be more wrong about breaks/breakbeat not being a genre; in fact, it's really 1 of the only 1s that IS a genre in itself. You correctly characterized the high level diffs btw typical 4-on-the-floor ("straights", house techno, etc. really just variations on the "straight" theme) and broken beats ("breaks"), which are the funky syncopated rhythms. Genre break-outs via beat metre/syncopation (this IS dance music) is more of a separation than the various 4-4 variations, separated only by the other instruments. Breaks can actually be comprised of the most variety of instrument/drum sounds, themes, etc (even non-syncopated 2-4 (as in BreakStep) and 4-4 sigs) without "breaking the mold"; it's really the only 1 that's not hamstrung by formulaic constraints. Your 1st "Techno" sample is actually a breakbeat. Check out BeatPort's "Breaks" category for a great example of all the wondrous and funky variety and glory. I've actually been around since before Disco and seen all these evolve, including the tiniest deviation triggering the overzealous to call something a new "genre". But you wanna pack the floor and bend necks/create ugly faces - nothing beats breaks! Was also disappointed that we left out the "Future"s (...house/...bass) prob 2 of the popular classifications now-a-days - as well as the popular Electro (unless I missed it), but again, more variations on the "4-4" theme. But hey man, awesome work, thanks for taking the time!
Big Room is the cancerous tumor that will forever plague electronic music. I liked it initially, until i realized every song is the same. Its oversimplified, lazy, repetitive among different artists, and a reverb fuckfest.
only 2 songs for the techno genre? come on Cheeseguy! euro techno,italian techno,belgian techno,german techno,detroit techno,technorave,discotechno,hard techno,hands up techno,minimal techno,progressive techno,acid techno,tribal techno & many more
@@SomeFrequencies maybe it's cos I've been around a bit longer than you, not sure your age but "EDM" only became a used term and basically only really used in America when Rhianna was doing features with Calvin Harris and people like David Guetta and Steve Aoki became big. That was EDM. I'm aware of what the term stands for and I'm very aware that dance music is made electronically (I've been making tunes for about ten years) but to say that "EDM" wasn't a term that was coined to describe a genre of that cheesy shite chart dance music of the time is just not true. It definitely described something as a genre and you could identify it.
@@SomeFrequencies house music was always house music, it was never an all encompassing thing to describe dance music. From the beginning of house there was various subgenres of it and techno existed at the same time. Like how far back are you talking? Because in the late 80's-early 90's there was many forms of house, acid, progressive, tech, jacking, deep and then you also had jungle, drum n bass, techno, hardcore, rave... and all of that fell under the umbrella of "dance music". The same way you now, I guess, use EDM for. But the term EDM didn't become a thing until the revival of dance music in the US again through the charts with people like the artists I named. EDM to me is basically the big room, big drop, cheesy commercial sounding electronic music. I mean you look at what gets labeled as progressive house after the EDM explosion, it's hilarious and it ain't progressive house. Honestly, I asked your age because I had a feeling you might have grown up during that explosion in the US, that's not to belittle you, it just explains why you come at it from the angle you do but as someone who watched from the late 90's early 2000 trance, progressive house scene up until now I can assure that me and many others (including well known DJ's) saw the EDM scene rise and I can assure there was a specific sound to it. Keep calling it EDM of course if that's how you describe the umbrella term for dance music but I'm just explaining why the people who say it's a genre aren't wrong either.
@@SomeFrequencies Nah mate, call whatever you feel like it is. You made a good point at the end, I don't call all electronically made music "dance music" just the common stuff with beats basically, house, techno, drum n bass, trance, dubstep and all the subgenres that accompany them. But for things like ambient, downtempo or trip hop or whatever I would usually call them what they are but if I were to categorize them it would be just as electronic music, just the same as I'm sure you wouldn't categorize them as EDM? (electronic "dance" music) It's the same point really.
I love electronic music but it's always been hard for me to differentiate the genres, except roughly for house and techno. All I can say is that some sounds hurt my ear but generally I love electrinic.
Can everyone just be thankful that this person took the time to make a video explaining genres for new people who know nothing about our music. It’s a decent video.
Like me. people ask what i like and i have no idea how to specify it
Agreed
Jacob Sims nah, he didn’t explain that all is edm and that hardtyle is not a sub genre of hardcore, hardstyle is sub genre like hardcore progessive house and other sub genres
+1
No, I'm not at all thankful Jacob. Videos like this just add to the confusion
>Apologizes for missing a certain genre
>still gets comments complaining about not having [Insert genre here]
IT. WAS. NOT. MY. FAULT. HE SHOULD MAKE A VIDEO IN THE FUTURE, AND HE SHOULD GIVE US JUSTICE!!!! DISLIKED!!!!
"Tech House", "Acid House"
I've never heard of that, but Future House missing. I think he should just include the most famous genres. I don't know if Tech/Acid House are very known but i don't think so.
dude he just said tech and acid was one of many big house subgenres. also future house arised around 2015+

What about electro?
I clicked on this just to look at the genrepolice in the comments.

I love the video goes in absolute precise detail and then just classes up hardcore with some unknown shit and places hardstyle and gabber together.
Hardhouse and hardtrance were completely left out. Both played a huge role in the UK and in Germany in the 90's and even in other european countries...

I have a question. DeadMau5 & Kaskade's song "I Remember" which genre is?
It's definitely trance. If I had to guess, probably "uplifting trance", not covered by this video.
@@marc2377 It's prog house actually
Sorry but there is no hardcore or Gabber in this video.
You can't call hardstyle gabber.

Different in the UK and the US
I definitely think the UK is much bigger on these types of music, especially the house, trance and DnB.

I just looking for this. Thanks dude ;)
Damn it bro thanks alot looking for this ... its about 5 years with EDM but that House song which was played first was fucking awesome ... gosh if I could find more like this ... if you guys know any playlist with that heavy bass house music "revolution 909" please share it , thanks alot again bro !
add this to description
Plumdog thanks man
Spent way too little time on techno. It's as versatile and vast as house music with its own liat of sub genres.
Could have included melodic, acid and minimal, like the three top genres of Techno.
Exactly what I thought
personally i know minimal and I dont even listen to techno so this definitely should have included subgenres
I'm more familiar with House than Techno but yeah they both have several sub genres, including Tech House lol
I agree 100%, but then again the lack of focus on techno is exactly what I expected
Me every 10 seconds when a new song comes: "Oh gotta add that banger to the playlist!"
Trippy haha I added 3 at least to mine
lol dude, spot on, im new to this as well and they all seem bangers :)))
@@JaPierdole13 welcome to the fam, fam
Literally same
Fun fact: Brian Eno also made the startup sound for the classic Windows 95 operating system.
Awesome!
Stopped watching this guide when he classified Drum And Bass as breakbeat.
@@BillClinton228it's of course subgenre of my beloved indiano-balkan ambient psy-folktronica
And he did it
on a Mac
I thought that was Robert Fripp
Nightcore is as much of a genre as [BASS BOOSTED] is.
KriAsb No. There are own created songs. Self-made.
Nightcore is by definition not original music. Its closer to a lazy "remix style" than a genre. Sorry bro.
KriAsb Yeah, but there are self-made nightcore songs. No remix.
the Nightcore in this video refers to remix that use high pitched samples and have an overall faster feeling, which quite frankly takes the equal ammount of skill like the normal remixes. But that has nothing to do with what you find here on youtube where ppl think speeding up some song with propotional pitch is enough to call it nightcore. and THAT is the same as calling *bass boosted* a genre
Any idea how to find real Nightcore here on RUclips?
im so fucking glad you separated dubstep from brostep.
Me too : D
helostcontroll But he completely fucked up hardcore.
WithNoSense totally fucked up...
There's no such thing as "Brostep". It's a term Skrillex invented.
SUM1 The term was already invented before skrillex came along. Brostep wad used to describe Caspa and Rusko.
Only 1 nitpick: Breakbeat isn't called that because the beat is 'broken', it's because the beat came from sampled drum breaks (especially from RnB)
Thank you!
Yeah, thank you. This part pissed me off particularly

In all the comments I saw no reccommendation or mention of one genre:
Synthwave
(also sometimes called retro-electro, basically mid-to-late 80's beats and tracks with just a touch of "modernism").
There are even subgenres of it, like Darksynth, Post-Darksynth, Horror Synth and Slasherwave, Cybersynth, Chillsynth, FutureSynth / Space Synth, Dreamwave, Outrun, (Neo) Italo Disco and Vaporwave (and probably some more).
I just feel like it should not be left out, It's getting more and more popular (at least where I live) and I love it!
Maybe synthwave as a whole fits into downbeat?
Idk
Vaporwave is not part of the synthwave movement. It is its own genre
Was looking for this comment wondering in which category synthwave would fit into. So it's not a sub genre but a genre after all? (I'm kinda new to electronic music so sorry for this basic question)
Italo Disco is a new subgenre? Nah mate, it's been a genre since the early 80s and gave birth to Eurobeat in the late 80s and early 90s
What about speedcore?
That description of Big Room House was the most accurate thing ever.
+Food for Thought Reviews i personally just like like a heavy beat. i never knew why people disliked the genre so much until now.
IKR that sums up the entire genre right there.
Wild Chandelure it's one of those cases where it's like you're listening to the same thing from different people a million times over, except you actually get tired of it unlike the pop and rap music that most people listen to.
Big Room is like Riddim; the style is generic and can be easily concluded to be uncreative.
Skrillex Wiki As a dubstep fan, I'll take Riddim over Big Room but both have great songs in them, even the pinnacle famous ones like Head Crush for Riddim and Animals for Big Room.
30 years of being an EDM fan. Been through many phases and have music in nearly every one of these genres. Some better and more memorable than others. Good vid - thanks for this.
There's too many subgenres with only a negligible amount of structural differences. Makes it hard to classify and also boxes in producers creatively.
Also a lot of overlap of genres.
If producer tries to stick within frames of one genre, he's nothing more than mediocre producer. He's inbreeding himself artistically.
However genre classification is needed, for listeners who seek music with specific set of traits. It's not only tied to structure of the tracks, but also on what type of samples and instruments were used, atmosphere and when and where it was created. In years 1987-1993, during Rave era, which I'm fan of, existed like 15 subgenres of underground dance music. But during that time nobody cathegorized most of it yet, it was done years later by enthusiasts of the music.
I totally agree, and yet these sub-genres are often created by insecure, douchebag artists who are trying to convince themselves they aren't douches, or to try and make themselves seem more edgy or unique. You see this kind of stuff throughout human culture, however, so not surprising we see it here. Ever seen a car covered with stickers from one sports team? Or someone dressed head to toe in one brand? All attempts to belong because people don't know who they are.
A lot of producers, myself included, make a song without any restraints and then after we're done, try to define it in terms of genres. That's where a lot of sub-genres come from. If you make music and don't have any way to define it in terms of genre, it makes it much harder to grow a following; No one can find you!
I think this many subgenres is hard for me starting learning, for example, i have started a melody in my daw but i need to know what subgenre this project should follow, so its a little frustating(im talking about BEGINNERS, if you know a lot of sub genres so you dont need to " stick within frames of one genre" but if yu are beginner, you should at least on the beginning)
Nomi, the idiot Making a song without know what genre will be is danger, i did songs like this too but the result was "this sounds like child music" and i know others producers that have the same "shild musisc sounds like", but if this works for you nice...
Some more genres:
Hard Trap
Jungle Terror (the Wiwek thing)
Hard Bass (the Russian thing)
FrenchCore
Future Bass
Melodic Dubstep (The Seven Lions thing)
Tropical House
Brazilian Bass
Minimal Techno
Groove
Happy Hardcore (the S3RL thing)
Synth Pop (the Porter Robinson thing)
Great video btw
There's no such thing as "Melodic" Dubstep; It has always been melodic.
Stop trying to invent subgenres because you can't grasp the original sound.
@@Latinfairy777, you said so: "some", a.k.a. "not all of them". Go check Skream who has been doing it "melodic" ever since before 2006.
Now you're gonna tell me that "Chillstep" is also a legit subgenre, won't you? XD
I'm gonna summarize all further discussion with this comment. Seriously, read it:
www.reddit.com/r/dubstep/comments/5jv3xa/different_subgenres_of_dubstep/dbk75ug?
Illenium doesn’t make melodic dubstep, however Seven Lions does
@@koenmetekohy1296 You have all the reason, I don't know why I put Illenium haha, gonna edit my comment
@Raul Moreno you know what is the genre of "Le wanski" ? For exemple tarte à la myrtille ?
Super informative video. This is the first time I've seen a video like this done right
That was my goal :D Because there were no complete videos on electronic music on RUclips.
One thing I would have done differently is include more bass genres because there are a couple that weren't mentioned even though I can atone to the fact that their followings are huge
+Wil Dodge Like? Future Bass probably... I know I left it out but it kinda falls under trap
Future Bass, Chillstep, Riddim... A lot o the bassier genres. I definitely think riddim is notable though because it's like the second coming of classic dubstep, but with some modern twists.
+Cheeseguy how about
African tribal
and Mexican trival (had a v not b) /3ball
I actually love glitch. In a song, every new note grabs my attention and throws it in another direction. Glitch makes me bounce around in my own head, kinda, but it keeps me paying attention to the music to appreciate it, as I tend to daydream a lot in other genres
deaf kev- invincible most popular glitch
So that means... If your TV gets broken you'll start to hear EDM
We should listen to edm more often
hahahahahah
14:52 yep, true
@unaesthetic its a joke at the end of the video.
Yes
I thought this video would help me understand what genre my music falls into. But after viewing I'm afraid I'm worse off than before
don't get it either
I love all the genres, I just figured out 2 years ago that I love all of them

The only way I could ever explain Hardstyle was, and I quote, "very catchy beat that sounds like an amplified version of someone slapping a metal hood of a car, hard."
Still my favorite genre.
Accurate! One of my favorites too.
To me (and don't get offended) it is just noisy repetitive rave music. But to each their own, we all have different tastes
Hardstyle is trance genre music like hardtrance 👍
@@Armaniran193 no, that was around the early 2000s, hardstyle is a genre its own
Sometimes i feel like any song can become hardstyle if you just add a very loud BWOMP as the beat in the background
I kinda hate how Skrillex gets all the credit/blame for inventing "brostep" when Datsik, Downlink, and Excision were laying the groundwork for all that a year before Scary Monsters even dropped.
and Rusko
I would asociaciate them with dubstem rather than bro step.
@@scottbeale1825 rusko sounded more like funky, uplifting dubstep

Sad that my beloved Breakcore wasn't in the video. Although I did see it mentioned in the description. I'm happy that IDM is represented. Cool video 😎
Ikr?
Totally agree with you mate :)
Breakcore would be hard to show, just showing one song would be completely insufficient since it varies so much, some breakcore songs are basically like 60% frenchcore or can be similar to liquid dnb, can be really noisy, can be really jarring or atonal or not have any kind of beat at all, etc its just too complex and wide of a genre
As a kid who grew up in the rave scene in the early 90's, I couldn't really ask for a better overview. The final bits about EDM/Electronica were on point, and I was actively rocking out to half the tracks featured from memory alone. Top notch job.
I clicked just to see if there's some stuff about techno, get all hyped 'couse you explained a lot of house subgeneres and then.. no techno details 😂

Jungle and dnb evolved alongside eachother in the early to mid 90s. One focused more on the reggae/dancehall roots, the other more on jazz.
@@CerealKiller who fucking cares. Let people enjoy what they want to enjoy
@@CerealKiller This is really weird to me. As a DnB guy (I love jungle too though) I always heard the similarities
DnB came out of junlge. Jungle started in early 90s as a more reggae/dub influenced form of the popular rave music at the time (breakbeat hardcore, techno, acid house) with bass and beats at the centre. DnB formed later where ragga influences were dropped in favour of a darker or jazzier sound (Andy C, Roni Size etc) which was more commercially viable, and significantly was less focused on black british culture.
@@jonasnisse4257 yeah you're right. Brushed up on more of my history since this original comment, and tho i wouldn't necessarily say I was wrong a year ago, it doesn't quite fully represent the relationship between the 2 genres.
And absolutely agreed on the fact that dnb became a whitewashed form of Jungle. The effects of that are still more than evident today when you look at PoC representation in the scenes.
@@jrnas8046 I think whitewashed in a strong way to put it. Jungle went mainstream and naturally white artists aren’t going to have the same black influences that defined jungle. That’s just the effect of a London/inner city subculture going global.
Foghorn rollers can fuck off though.
Thank you for differentiating dubstep from brostep! There is a difference. I personally listen to jungle dnb, old school dubstep, trance/psy trance the most.
I must be one of the few that listens to both brostep and dubstep. Just depends on the mood, sometimes I want to listen to deep and dark other times aggressive sounding. Just like I do with different genres of dnb.
@@ccricers have you heard gorilla flex by funtcase before? I like old school aggressive like that... Sub focus has some dope shit time warp vip, stomp & many more. Of course rusko is a big fave of mine & Dr P watch out or license or sweat shop are all old school and super original
@@ccricers shit & how could I forget.... FIGURE
@@ccricers I dig the Bobby D's hard house mix you highlighted
wot, no Techno subgenres? :(
That’s odd, techno is like mostly sub genres
If you want to understand techno, go to a techno rave and you will be enlighted.
MOLLY will take care of you at a techno rave
@@Jimmy99 that's what happened to me! I used to love commercial EDM stuff, but Molly showed me how good and pure techno was on a rave
Molly really helps to analyze every track in a different way than without drug. I don’t know if it’s ok or not but I can say by my experience that you cannot feel the music as much as when you are high.
There's also Retrowave/Synthwave that's shooting up right now. I know you've not mentioned some genres but I thought it'll be nice that people know about Retrowave hahah
I was wondering when he would bring that up, then the video ended.
Yes
Synthwave is hard, it takes inspiration from Techno, Trance and House.
I've been listening to electronic music since my teens in the 90s and, even thou I have strong opinions on the list itself, you have made a pretty decent classification. Good choice of classics btw! Liked.
This video was so helpful and informative! I've been into electronic music for a while but it's always so hard to really pin down what genres I'm hearing, and this summarizes them in a way that was really useful.
We need an updated version, that's like an hour long :>

>classifies hardstyle and gabber as the same thing
why do people always get it wrong with harder genres?
Cryptikz Ugh ikr, he played a Hardstyle song for Hardcore, and while explaining all the hardcore sub genres, didn't play one hardcore song -.-
cuz people are cunts that listen to pop.
its always with hard dance music... awlays wrong with everything..... go hard or go home :P
Ist Mir Egal 잊지마 gabber has a much harder kick.
TheGuyWithTheBratzDollz they forgot hardbass as well ( the slavic variant of hardstyle)
am i missing something? why are there so many dislikes?
this is the most helpful edm guide ive seen
Some of the guide is very opinionated in it's explanation and personally some of the things said like "Take away all the stuff that makes House great..." was just infuriating to someone who listens to this type music. It's not a bad guide if he would've kept his opinions out of it, it's clear which genres he liked the most and which he didn't.

Great job! This is a very extensive list. I appreciate the effort you put into this. ^^
I love synthesizers! Synths are the soul of electronic music. I wish there are more synths
You'd love Synthwave music
@@BlessedForever888 I actually do already
I love how you described Nightcore more positively than Big Room House xD
Disapointed about techno but whole video isa good job mate 👌
WEE WOO WEE WOO GENRE POLICE YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG AND MISSED THE IMPORTANT SUBGENRES
very nice video, very nice basic overview. I like.
I really like the cold, robotic sounding techno. Can you recommend a subgenre or playlist for me to listen to? You seem to know a lot of good stuff.
@@ZyrusSmith Cold and robotic? Try industrial techno, maybe acid techno. The artist Zamilska comes to my mind. Maybe the soundtrack of RUINER, an excellent video game.
@@ZyrusSmith This isn't really robotic, but try minimal techno. It's cold and dark, but is also really energetic. Droplex, RTTWLR, and Boris Brejcha are good artists to check out!

That's not gabber either. If you were there you should know. Gabber came on the scene in 95-96 and seems to now a days be associated with an earlier style starting back in 1991 or so. The thing is original genre names over the decades has changed from one generation to the next. The new guard keeps confusing via mixing and matching genre names the old guard once used. It's a multi- faceted mess and certainly needs be simplified.
I’m literally here bc the song choices are great, but also I’ve been into EDM since the goddamn 90s and the EDM Twitter genre police fucking scare me 🤣
The most sad thing about all the non pop music genres is really the listeners.
I came to this video mainly to get some nice new songs to listen to, I check the comment section and see; Surprise! People bitching about this being whatever not and that not being this. Personally I couldn't care less. If the music is good I'll listen to it; the end.
Is there really no one else who feels that way?
I don't know much about the subgenres but good video either way! A lot of time was put into it and I got some nice new songs to listen to (Y)
Madeon always puts French House at another level ;-;
I GOT SHOCKED WHEN PAY NO MIND WAS PLAYING
French House is the best
i agree with you. i hate it when people just call it "electronica". i tell them it's like i call all their music instrumental because it uses instruments in it as opposed to computer generated.
Good vid mate! Only thing I would say is you could of went deeper into drum and bass sub genres but other than that splendid job! Love the last bit! 😂 I can't stand people who say oh I listen to EDM man... haha
WHERE IS V A P O R W A V E
@Tony69North xD
Is it electronic ? I would not say it's a subgenre of electronic.
@@Gazeld What about dub?
@@miscellaneous1276 Dub uses effects and is a genre used for some songs of a lot of electronic musicians (in a trance goa album for example, see T.I.P), so it doesn't bother me that it is listed here.
D E A D
Not bad, dude, not bad. Some of the track selections were great, others really confused me. Definitely more of a focus on popular tracks, and no underground representation, but that’s okay. The one big disappointment is your treatment of techno. You just completely glazed over it. I take it techno isn’t your thing. That’s not something a techno head would do.. Still, this was challenging, and I give you credit for trying. ✌🏼
+Nikola Demitri
I have always had a hard time recognising techno.
I often hear that techno is supposed to be "heavy" with "lots of bass beats", but the techno music in this video doesn't seem particularly heavy to me.
When I think of techno I usually think of things like "Get Ready For This" by 2 Unlimited and things like that, but apparently that song is closer to House.
I think that is a point to put the more popular tracks of each genre so people have more of a concrete and tangible reference.
@@Peter_1986 ruclips.net/video/GuYlXFF0AyA/видео.html
@@aronschz this is minimal techno ;)
@@Peter_1986 I don't think "Get ready for this" has a house feeling. For me it has no parental link with disco nor funk, it's mechanic, hard, cold. For me it's techno. Or dance, in its radio version. In the same genre, this one is techno for me : Antico - Freedom (ruclips.net/video/hHYOwVW7YyA/видео.html). The kind of techno which is darker and has not a lot of notes is rather called "minimal (techno)". But I presume some people will class those 2 tracks in house.
Mostly angry you didn't delve in to any sub-genres for TECHNO like you did most of the others. Considering it's one of the two founding genres along with House, and that it has many subgenres, I find this a pretty massive oversight. Otherwise, not bad.
Indeed, only thing i didn't like
I agree, it kinda seemed like Techno was treated unfairly
Hope he makes a second one. I want to see the descriptions of Hands Up, Happy Hardcore, Jumpstyle, and Tech Trance.
What about....
Hardcore? Would you beleive such a genre exists under the title of hardcore?
I love happy hardcore, the 90's and early 00's is great. I can see where those tracks have originated from the 80's rave seen. My older bro is an 80's raver, I was a slightly more civilised 90's, club going, general dance music lover. If I could get up and dance, then any music was fine with me. A good drop, good beat, old skool lyrics, rather amusing MC'ing were great ingredients for a great track, more ingredients could be added but definitely good basic requirements.
Happy Hardcore had it all, I always loved the bouncy beats and there were some fantastic drops in there.
I'm early 40's now and I think I might be a little old for the electronic dance music scene overall, I do miss those times, back in the dark ages, when I was growing up.............................
I am moderately upset that hardbass wasn't included, and I'm sure my Eastern European friends will be too blin
Alex The Lion It's basically just russian bounce/donk.
WebMint - It is still its own thing
all the gopniks are triggered that hard bass wasnt included, bet they was sad when they was no Xs project or hardbass school
The UK people are very angry as well, that's our preferred thing to MC on
Alex The Lion TRIPPALOSKI
Really good video actually! Nice examples of each, too. Clear and distinct examples with good descriptions.
I would have included though:
- Under "Techno", there is Dub Techno, Electro, Minimal, Ghettotech.
also thank you for including 2-step garage :)
My favorite will forever be Drum & Bass, it has so many different styles with even elements of other genres added in.
"Is dubstep still a thing?" - deadpool
"dubstep is for pussies" - Cable
But one of my favorite genres is dubstep
no its brostep now
@@aquariusminds8274 mine also
LOL.
Has an hardcore genre but not showing any hardcore?...
says gabber and hardstyle is the same...
Fts is not hardcore lol
Lol no Reverse bass , Rawstyle , hard house , Hard trance , euphoric & etc lol
Bad brains!
They has evolved, he shows early types of them
14:44 = Nice Track
XD
My favorites besides House weren't specifically mentioned but I knew you couldn't describe every single genre lol.. 80's Boogie (Post Disco), Hi NRG, Euro/Italo Disco, Electro, Freestyle.
I think that nowadays we can insert at “others” category: Vaporwave, Lo-Fi beats (mostly chill jazzy hip hop), and synthwave (or darksynth, futuresynth, whatever they call those cyberpunk-80’s-purple-neon style that is rising on the internet).
City Pop?
I'm sure the majority of today's people that listen to electronic music call it edm as a genre and identify all others as sub genres... they are all just uninformed it's not really their fault.. I think calling it edm as a whole is perfectly fine sorry old heads
thanks for the video tho it was very informative... it's crazy how today's mainstream rave culture uses all of these genres and blend it to sound good
Anthony Gonzalez it's not a problem unless it's something like Downtempo or Breakbeat
XENO Official Downtempo would just be called chill music and breakbeat would just be called either electronic or techno.
I call it edm as a whole but Im not uneducated about my genres so lol
Calling it all edm is a mistake. Not all electronic music has been made in order to damce to. Further on edm was used after the usa rediscovered dance at the end of the 00s. You dont have the right to give something a name if you have been ignoring it for so long. And if you said to a dj: so you make edm music, lots of djs will find this insulting because edm is associated with david guetta, afrojack kind of dance music, very commercial. So.....dont call it all Edm
what about: "if house is a feeling techno is a landscape"
for me it's the most clarifying definition of both genres (if you have a minimal background)
Deep House, Chillhop, and Chiptunes are my favorites.
Even though I'm slightly sad to not see Glitch Hop or Tropical House here, you included Chiptune and Electroswing, AND used Caravan Palace as the example for Electroswing, so overall I'm happy. Good work man!
tbh glitchop wasnt as big as Electro-swing , tropical is an offshoot of deep house, so you would be going into subgenres of subgenres, kind pointless.
Parov Stelar I think captures what's to love about electro swing more.
Ryan W Caravan Palace is still my favorite, but I won't argue that. Parov Stelar is a genius when it comes to ElectroSwing, or really just good music in general.
He included glitch
I really like Caravan Palace's DramaPhone song.
I mostly listen to metal, rock, punk, videogames music and movie score. I like electronic influences in these genres, but I wouldn't say I listen to electronic music in its pure form (except for remixes of videogames-music like Pokémon or fanmade songs).
And NOW I fucking understand why people get confused with all the metal subgenres. Even with this video I don't get the little and fine differences between most of the subgenres - barely the main genres. :D
It's kind of a huge genre, but you should check out electro-industrial. It's nice and loud, plus it has some good sub-subgenres. And I completely agree with you regarding the metal subgenres, I've been into metal for aaaages and still find new subgenres that I like.
WHERE IS THE ALMIGHTY EXTRATONE?

I wish I had the equipment and patience to make a video just like this lol. I've been wanting to do it ever since discovering "Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music" like 10 years ago now. I know it's difficult nailing each genre, subgenre, and sub-subgenre of EDM, especially when they just keep mixing and growing! But thank you for making this video I appreciate the effort!! 😎
+Sebizzar Ishkur's guide is horribly outdated and subjective. That's one of the reasons I just sat down, wrote down all the genres I know and did a lot of research :P If I could make a website I'd do it too! But yeah, this is also not 100% correct anymore... Really glad you appreciate it :D
As will be this video in a few years. Its already subjective, soon it will be outdated too. Such is life.
this video has some outdated stuff nowbut not everything.
Some genres' description are incorrect, I especially think that for big room.
big room, from experience of listening to it, is music that aims to reproduce the sense of listening in a big room(duh) using highly reverberated instruments. At least it is what I've come up to seing what's considered big room *now* for some music labels (like Diversity from which I enjoy a lot of songs).
but I may be incorrect, like I often am...
Putting gabber and hardstyle as one? Yeah...
totally wrong info on that one aite. hardstyle evolved out of hard trance
Hardstyle has some influences of hardcore, however hardcore =/= gabber, so gabber and hardstyle are like cousins more like.
And I know from the experience that I'm not my cousin.
Yes and showtek isn't hardcore
stitchybob that specific song was hardstyle, which is a sub genre of hardcore. But he makes house now...
asyraf azman he also left out hardtrance which is a huge genre. Thankfully trance was left in
OMGGG I FINALLY FOUND THE GENRE I WAS LOOKING FOR AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS
(it was Big Room House)
You my good sir, are garbage
makks Everyone hates a purist. You must be fun at parties.
👌😅
french house is better but that is my opinion
Tom Riste I like French House, too
Lol still can't define Big Room .All I know is that you dont like it.
MeTheJoo I could explain big room in a really short sentence.
yes but i was trying to be informative :)
MeTheJoo Alright. 👍
Because it's noise and it sucks
MadnZz all music is noise u fuck
So why you left out every Sub-Genre of Techno?
To avoid confusing new comers too much. We want to stop people from calling all electronic music Dubstep and Techno. Confusing them isn't the way to do that and an information overload will confuse any newcomer
@@Arterexius I don't even know where you're going with this but that's not what he was asking
@@RiggedFem It was an answer equal to what the uploader said at the beginning of the video. Keep it simple. It's not simple if he mentions every damn subgenre out there. This video is meant as an introduction to Electronic Music for newcomers. Not a guide to advanced and experienced listeners. There's a difference
I guess the basic thing to learn about Techno is that it always incorporates _four on the floor_ bass/kick beats?
Gabber is NOT hardstyle.
Hardstyle is around 150 bpm and started around 2005
Gabber(or just hardcore) is around 180/200 bpm and started around 1992
He didn't say it was one genre, but that Hardstyle evolved from gabber.
hardstyle didnt start in 2005, started waay earlier
Hardstyle evolved from HardTrance initially but later had Gabber influences.
Also, you can't rely on tempo when it come categorize music. I can find 120bpm hardcore.
I really like the cold, robotic sounding techno. Can you recommend a subgenre for me to listen to? You seem to know a lot of good stuff.
A lot of work has gone into this video, thanks a ton! It's always risky trying to put things into boxes, but for me it has been a very nice overview. I am toying around with some pocket operators and trying to find a direction in which to experiment, so this has certainly helped :)
"In the beginning, there was light." =)
Quote from Vnv nation remix
Kinda sad you didn’t do breakcore; i fricking love this genre. It’s characterized by its weird time signatures, chaotic drum patterns, and more
Got hardcore all wrong
FTS - Showtek is a hardstyle track as is Headhunterz - colours (got that right at least). Actual hardcore which gabber is actually more related to than hardstyle would be artists like angerfist, tha playah, miss k8, destructive tendencies, etc. forgot to mention raw hardstyle which is an inbetween of hardstyle and hardcore. Could've also mentioned Happy hardcore but its pretty similar to nightcore so Donworry
Very nice video! Although I disagree with the "EDM is an umbrella for all electronic music", I loved this execution. EDM might have been an umbrella, but that's just what we always called "electronic music" or "electronica".
The genre people refer to as EDM now might just need a proper name, but it has definitely been assigned that name (for now). Can we call it EgoStroke? You always see the DJ up there twiddeling knobs, fist-pumping and generally basking in the praise given by the hundreds of mindless sheep think this is good shit?
IDM, aahhh IDM. The label that even IDM artists hate.
Great video btw, keep it up!
Great informative video ! You screwed up the hardcore part though :/
And Screwed with a capital S. Gabber is deffo not hardstyle.
And techno lol
Agreed. 1) gabber is a culture around hardcore music, or a person who represents the culture 2) hardstyle is no hardcore 3) no subgenres on hardcore were introduced at all
Makes me doubt everything else on the video as well.
It's 2016, I think Future Bass is big enough for a mention.
Also... bass isn't a genre... not really...
Also it might be good to mention that Future/Deep House and Glitch/Glitch Hop usually have swing.
And Drumstep is a sub genre of DnB! But I do understand who you wouldn't put it under breakbeat, but I still think it'd be good to mention.
Also... while I agree with you about disliking big room, you probably shouldn't share opinions (especially when you state them as facts) in an informative video.
This was interesting though, I really should explore more obscure genres like industrial and early electronic and techno.
And I need to check IDM, that sounded cool
IDM is life, I rec Aphex Twin, Autechre, Some Squarepusher, Tycho, many others
Future house isn't even a genre
Suavemente - BattleRite & More!
Why not
Lafv :D Industrial really isn't that obscure. Nine Inch Nails does it all the time, granted he fuses it with rock and metal, but he's still popular, same with Rammstein and Celldweller.
saying you like edm = saying you like food
The genre I miss the most: Future Bass. It literally has Bass in it's name and has a huge influence in EDM. but nice list tho :)
>Glitch
>*plays brostep*
wut?
-Rakshal- I agree. Glitch sounds nothing like it. Lel. To be specific, it would be moombahcore and it sounds a lot like brostep.
What played was glitch hop, not glitch. Misnamed.
PopNotes glitch step is also a thing
Glitch is like brostep but 110 bpm
Yeah. You want glitch? Listen to Alva Noto, SND, Ryoji Ikeda etc
Excellent ending. I was ready to disagree completely with this but the whole video is great. Yes of course, many genres are missing but this encapsulates the main info required for starters. Well done!
Hi, thank you for this. I like to listen to metal but ofc I like other generes too. Since I know almost 0 about this world, I was mostly guided by the "feeling" of the songs in me. And they seem to be from different generes. (Paul Van Dyck? Feint?) are some examples. But when I tried to listen to the recomended videos (on YT) next to them, most of em were so different...
12:24 I got lost here. This genere is like a test of all previous stuff? xD
I'm tempted to do a video explaining different metal generes. But I don't know that much. Thank you for this! I'll keep exploring :D
Btw: Is hardbass a substyle of Bass I guess?
5:54 This song always was in those 2010 style RUclips tutorials!
The idea of the video is very good however there are some wrong facts and tons of other genres, i mean a video like these would require even a hour to explain all the subgenres, for example you haven't listed a single techno subgenre but there are a lot (minimal, hard and so on) maybe you do not listen to techno so it's ok. I think that we should take an artist per genre that knows how to differentiate even chiptune from glitchop that some tracks fall in one genre rather than other just for a missknowledge (i hope missknowledge exist as word ps i'm not english...but this was obvious). Finally some genres are imho in the wrong section and some of them (at least their representational track) do not let know the differences. Very nice idea but needs some tuning
That word you might have been looking for could be "misinformation."
I just want to change one thing. gabber and hardstyle are NOT the same. gabber ended up what is called 'hardcore' now, hardstyle was a mix between techno and hardcore and went into its own style. Later during 2010 and further, raw hardstyle was created and branched off as a side-genre to hardstyle. Even hardcore has its own sub-genres for example 'uptempo hardcore', 'schranz' 'terror' and 'crossbreed'
Darkcore,frenchcore,terrorcore... yeah Hardstyle has nothing to do with Gabber
Excellent break-down. Unfortunately, didn't quite hit the mark w/ BreakBeat. You couldn't be more wrong about breaks/breakbeat not being a genre; in fact, it's really 1 of the only 1s that IS a genre in itself. You correctly characterized the high level diffs btw typical 4-on-the-floor ("straights", house techno, etc. really just variations on the "straight" theme) and broken beats ("breaks"), which are the funky syncopated rhythms. Genre break-outs via beat metre/syncopation (this IS dance music) is more of a separation than the various 4-4 variations, separated only by the other instruments. Breaks can actually be comprised of the most variety of instrument/drum sounds, themes, etc (even non-syncopated 2-4 (as in BreakStep) and 4-4 sigs) without "breaking the mold"; it's really the only 1 that's not hamstrung by formulaic constraints. Your 1st "Techno" sample is actually a breakbeat. Check out BeatPort's "Breaks" category for a great example of all the wondrous and funky variety and glory. I've actually been around since before Disco and seen all these evolve, including the tiniest deviation triggering the overzealous to call something a new "genre". But you wanna pack the floor and bend necks/create ugly faces - nothing beats breaks! Was also disappointed that we left out the "Future"s (...house/...bass) prob 2 of the popular classifications now-a-days - as well as the popular Electro (unless I missed it), but again, more variations on the "4-4" theme. But hey man, awesome work, thanks for taking the time!
Holy shit the big room hate. I love the biased ass definition. 😂😂
Big Room is the cancerous tumor that will forever plague electronic music. I liked it initially, until i realized every song is the same. Its oversimplified, lazy, repetitive among different artists, and a reverb fuckfest.
only 2 songs for the techno genre? come on Cheeseguy!
euro techno,italian techno,belgian techno,german techno,detroit techno,technorave,discotechno,hard techno,hands up techno,minimal techno,progressive techno,acid techno,tribal techno & many more
I love hands up techno :)
what could possibly be the differences between belgian techno, german techno, and italian techno?
@krygyz Well Marco Bailey doesn't sound like Chris Liebing, who also doesn't sound like Rino Cerrone or Marco Carola. There is a difference.
tbh i consider EDM just as the eletronic music as a whole from house to hardcore like just separiting from pop/rap etc
Nah EDM definitely became a genre in America for shit cheesy dance music... what was wrong with just calling it dance music like everyone else?
@@SomeFrequencies maybe it's cos I've been around a bit longer than you, not sure your age but "EDM" only became a used term and basically only really used in America when Rhianna was doing features with Calvin Harris and people like David Guetta and Steve Aoki became big. That was EDM.
I'm aware of what the term stands for and I'm very aware that dance music is made electronically (I've been making tunes for about ten years) but to say that "EDM" wasn't a term that was coined to describe a genre of that cheesy shite chart dance music of the time is just not true. It definitely described something as a genre and you could identify it.
@@SomeFrequencies house music was always house music, it was never an all encompassing thing to describe dance music. From the beginning of house there was various subgenres of it and techno existed at the same time.
Like how far back are you talking? Because in the late 80's-early 90's there was many forms of house, acid, progressive, tech, jacking, deep and then you also had jungle, drum n bass, techno, hardcore, rave... and all of that fell under the umbrella of "dance music". The same way you now, I guess, use EDM for.
But the term EDM didn't become a thing until the revival of dance music in the US again through the charts with people like the artists I named.
EDM to me is basically the big room, big drop, cheesy commercial sounding electronic music. I mean you look at what gets labeled as progressive house after the EDM explosion, it's hilarious and it ain't progressive house.
Honestly, I asked your age because I had a feeling you might have grown up during that explosion in the US, that's not to belittle you, it just explains why you come at it from the angle you do but as someone who watched from the late 90's early 2000 trance, progressive house scene up until now I can assure that me and many others (including well known DJ's) saw the EDM scene rise and I can assure there was a specific sound to it.
Keep calling it EDM of course if that's how you describe the umbrella term for dance music but I'm just explaining why the people who say it's a genre aren't wrong either.
@@SomeFrequencies Nah mate, call whatever you feel like it is. You made a good point at the end, I don't call all electronically made music "dance music" just the common stuff with beats basically, house, techno, drum n bass, trance, dubstep and all the subgenres that accompany them. But for things like ambient, downtempo or trip hop or whatever I would usually call them what they are but if I were to categorize them it would be just as electronic music, just the same as I'm sure you wouldn't categorize them as EDM? (electronic "dance" music) It's the same point really.
I'd call every electronic song that has been made and is danceable EDM. Electronic Dance Music.
I love electronic music but it's always been hard for me to differentiate the genres, except roughly for house and techno. All I can say is that some sounds hurt my ear but generally I love electrinic.
I think a lot of genres intertwine sometimes
