The spectrum can also tell you a lot about the music just visually. Check how cool the house music looks 1:45 like a wave flowing from side to side with the rhythm, in trance you can see the beat tries to remain in the same place 5:42, in dubstep you see that the beat tends to spread to different places 8:08, in future bass you see the obvious persistent bass signal dominating the whole thing 14:37. For me the house one was the most interesting to watch with the wavy effect in the music.
When i have to explain my dad that i'm making dubstep not Techno, he says it's all the same and two days later he blames me for not knowing the diffrence between country and western
Growing up with Techno and Trance music, I realised how much it helps you mentally. I was very exhausted emotionally and this music lifted me up and energized me!

@@craig2196 Metal subgenres are very clear from one another with different vocal styles, lyrics aesthetics,.. while to me edm genres are all the same just different bpm
I am 62 years old and I have to admit that after watching this video I understand the EDM just as well as before, ie. not at all. However, I must also admit that it made a very good impression on me. The explanations, while covering a wide range, are short, clear and to the point. Although I'm not a professional, the transitions between the separate examples make me think you could be a good DJ :)
I recommend listening into various genre-based mixes now and then, and not limiting yourself to a handful of artists/DJs/genres. (pretty sure you didn't mean it that way anyway) It's not meant as an attempt to discredit anyone or anything, but from my experience, I did not expect some things to grow on me the way they have, and they wouldn't have if I hadn't given them the benefit of the doubt when I was in the right mood for them. Granted I kinda became more picky than I was in my youth, but my playlists have become a lot more diverse as well. (That's probably something a lot of people experience over time, so I'm not telling you anything new.) Good luck with finding your music, and happy listening to you.
In sorry but that isnt edm. This lady got it wrong because she knows very little about electronic music. House and techno arrived before edm. Edm is a fast drop genre of electronic music. Daft punk is house its not edm
The songs that she picks to showcase each genre really goes to show that people who are primarily into festivals are listening to such a small homogenous slice of what all these genres have to offer…festivals have really blurred the lines between these subgenres for better or for worse
Hello! This is a genuine question, since I'm pretty new to the scene, what types of songs/artists would you say break this stereotype? I've been listening to a lot of Japanese EDM, but I can't really describe/categorize the music I listen to, I just listen to what I like. But I've been wanting to expand my horizons bc listening to the same thing all the time is... tiresome. If you could recommend me music, I'd love that :)
@@cybelleeee1467 Hello! I can only speak for American festival culture because maybe it’s different elsewhere but there is a huge underground history to all of these subgenres that have different (albeit adjacent) roots and origins! If you look up historically popular artists of these genres from the 90s, you can hear how much more different each of these genres were back then. For classic house, a good start is Strictly Rhythm Records, Frankie Knuckles, Kerri Chandler… there’s also modern lofi house that you won’t normally hear at fests (No_4mat, COMPUTER DATA, DJ ÆDIDAS). Classic Detroit techno (Cybotron, Jeff Mills, Mike Banks) vs modern techno (Brutalismus 3000, Revised Records, Schwefelgelb). Classic jungle/DnB (Tom & Jerry, Peshay, Origin Unknown, Dillinja, LTJ Bukem, DJ Hype). There’s also a large internet-centric sphere of electronic artists like Machine Girl, Starjunk 95, Galen Tipton, Purity Filter, Dr. Gabba, Golden Boy). I also recommend using bandcamp’s music discovery, you can go deep into rabbit holes of artists putting out underground music of any genre. I hope this gives a decent jump-off point and that you enjoy!
@@AngelGonzalez-zb6td Yes. Like other forms of edm there are sub genres. ex: hardstyle- hardcore, melodic hardstyle, jumpstyle, ect ect. Synthwave aka retrowave has synthpop, chillwave, darkwave/darksynth, and cyberpunk.
I think this video does an excellent job overviewing the genres and it’s obviously difficult to fit in all the nuances of each one. My only note, for people getting into EDM, is that these examples are all very big room/rave-focused. A lot of edm is more lowkey, melodic, dark, or atmospheric.
The video is really focused on the festival/rave side of the styles but you could easily make a hour long video about every single genre and their subgenres
I've been a metalhead my whole life and a metal drummer for 13 years but I do like electronic music as well, this is a great guide to learn some differences in the style, thanks a lot
I remember as a kid seeing the Mortal Kombat movie and the music changing my life. The main theme and Orbital - Halcyon On and On, with the eurodance hits at the time, really shaped my music taste growing up. Looking back I can see why my favorite genre of electronic music is trance.
@@PhillyTornadoSpin nope atl aint have trap at the time the south only had southern hip hop miami bass new orleans bounce music Memphis rap atl didn't get trap in till early 2000
Back in the 90s/00s I used to stay up until 2am when the indie radio station would suddenly play euro and progressive trance. I would try to stay up so late to hear the whole thing and record it on my cassettes. It was never enough, all of my friends liked happy hardcore or techno but didn't know progressive anything lol I was on my own So nice having everything on RUclips now!
Thanks so much for this. I'm 53 and I started with Jean-Michel Jarre and Vangelis in the 80's. In the 90's I listened to The Orb and Orbital. Now I'm into Above and Beyond and Chicane. For several years though I've been confused as to what all these sub-genres are and your video really makes things clearer.Seems that I am a Trance fan.
I've been a professional musician for many years but I'm just now trying out my first Traktor console and I'm just getting into EDM for fun. This was so helpful and I love how you're giving examples of stuff you love and have invested time into and even footage you caught live! As a musician, I so appreciate people with this kind of passion, thanks for being in the world and helping people like me make.a living. I couldn't have asked for a better intro video, thank you!
House, electro and techno...nowadays is very mixed. For me is about the beat...change it to much and is another genre . All other genre in this video is very marked. It is a special video...for sure.
Oh man I remember a time when all electronic music was called techno, we wore these things called trap pants and went to raves in Sketchy abandoned warehouses, good times makes me feel old though. Thanks for video I’ve been curious about this for a while.
I'm a huge trance fan and just wanted to mention a few more artists like Solarstone Pure Trance Radio show, Ori Uplift show, Aly and Fila Future State of Egypt and Nora En Pure. Incredible artists!
My 13 year old daughter: you wouldn't like this much less understand anything about it. It's about the beat and the energy. Me: ...wondering should I tell her about me from 1995-2000 at the State Palace Theatre in New Orleans at raves (wish I would have kept all my flyers from back then)
Any pre-defined illegality of peaceful and respectful partying should of course be illegal itself. (Not trying to make this a political thing, but.. it was and still is a political thing alright, and we all know it.)
@@werewindwolf Your right back in the day when it was just "house music" it was about peace, love & unity, and to throw of the suffocating shackles of society. I always was surprised that that mentality managed to survive for as long as it did here in The Netherlands and Germany, though since 2010 that ideal was broken down more and more as the scene got embraced by mainstreet. Of course good tracks are stll released today, but most modern day releases to my opinion are as generic and soulles as can be.
I’m trying to learn because I want to make EDM for fun. But, I feel like the 10 million sub genres are just people trying to claim their own thing lol.
Dubstep is my fav. Spag Heddy, Wooli, Excision are my faves. House is pretty great, and HAPPY HARDCORE is so underrated. I love happy hardcore. Darren styles and Gammer for the win.
Welcome to Hardstyle = we have full diversity of hard music, euphoric melodies, fast beats, raw and xtra raw, uptempo and other fast tempo sub-genres of hardstyle. We have kicks and not drops. We do kick rolls, we don't put our hands up. Oh right, one more thing... We also have Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz. Welcome, first drink is on us, second one is on us as well because we love everyone with basic respect. Lekker
Don't forget Nero. One of the very few EDM... bands with a singer. That adds so much to the music. Same with the mentioned band Pendulum. They play actual instruments live (including a drum as named in the genre). Both are so unique. I love EDM. Would be nice to see more like Pendulum and Nero, though.
Hey for anyone else who loves the generalised EDM umbrella genre, another notable mention for a podcast is Monstercat's instinct podcast. Monstercat is a record label that bring attention to old and new upcoming EDM producers they include 99% of the genres explained here (all except techno I believe, but I may be wrong) and they always bring a good vibe.
Thank you for including examples. So many videos explaining genres do not have examples and it is absolutely baffling to me like how is this not the most obvious shortfall ever
My first rave was 1997, and I am amazed and thrilled by the way the various genres have evolved, spawning new and weirder babies… as the tech evolves, the sound does as well, and these artists give us new ways to cut shapes on the dancefloor and express all those feels… thank you CK for putting this together 💗⚡️🌈🙏
...and all that time I thought edm was just 'noise' with no feel, emotion, melody, nor story, and outright refused to accept uplifting trance, progressive house were part edm. Sigh, miss the old Tiesto and his ISOS compilation series...Thanks for putting this together!
Funny thing is Dubstep most people consider noise, I consider the most pleasing. Mainly gives a feeling of adrenaline/high dopamine that gives me the tingles. All the ones with less 'noise' dont do it for me... not saying its bad just not for me.
not a "EDM beginner" but that Video showed me that i love EDM in genrell. Every Genres has its cool sides, i just love some Genres as Techno even more.
Hardstyle is a genre where all of the music have those 'donk sound'. You hear donk sound, it most likely is hardstyle, or some harder genres(frenchcore, hardcore etc). all hardstyle music exist in a spectrum between Euphoric Hardstyle which is more melodic, featuring softer 'donk sound' and may be 'cheesy' to some people, and Rawstyle which emphasize on the rhythm of the beat(donk sound) and darker screeches. In the middle of the spectrum you will find Rawphoric Hardstyle which combines the melodic and the rhythmic elements. Examples (from euphoric to raw): Sound Rush - Froz3n D-Block S-Te-Fan - Love On Fire B-Front & Adaro ft. Nikki Milou -Phoenix Of The Night Ran-D ft. Skits Vicious - No Guts, No Glory Ran-D & Endymion - Antidote (Kronos Remix) I love everything on the hardstyle spectrum. I like hardcore and happy hardcore too but not as much as I like hardstyle.
Yep me too. Always Hardcore .... "hardcore will never die" .... remember that saying? How true it is. Hardcore has been around for over 25 years now. Hardstyle is just pure fun dance music. Da Tweekaz .... OMG... brought fun and comedy to dance music. :D The Dutch are so talented. And not to ignore the Italian Hardstyle DJ's ... they are awesome too. ;)

I've seen dj's spin live sets from the likes of George Acosta, Micro, Robert Miles, Cirrus, Dj Craze, Tiesto back when he was still considered the "Lord of Trance".. FTT Residents like: Donald Glaude/Barry Weaver.. Dj Irene(Hard House), Monk, Merlin, Skylab2000 RIP*, Dj Icey on the breaks, godfather of Detroit house Derrick May, Derrick Carter, DeepDish, Fatboy Slim, Nigel Richards.. LA expo monster massive in '09 was fun cool pyro tech set up for Armin Van Buren but I was digging Tiefschwarz and M.A.N.D.Y. way more.. Also EDC Insomniacs "Camp Trip" on the ranch, those guys know how to throw a party!!
4:46 Sorry ma’am, but those songs are not Electro. They’re trance & dub step. Electro songs consist of 808 beats at the tempo of 125, Orchestral hits, DJ scratching and slap baseline with vocoder vocals. Electro songs for example, “Planet Rock” baby Afrika Bambaataa and the soul sonic force, “It’s Time” by Hashim and “Egypt Egypt” by Egyptian Lover. 😊
This was awesome! I grew up loving all EDM, and this started back in the 90's as a kid! Literally all of the genres you listed (and beyond) I have been through, understood and loved. Then, around 2007-2008, I discovered Hardstyle with Moon Boy (If you know, you know,) and from there my preference in EDM changed forever. Hardstyle was my life, and continues to be so, although I still heavily rotate my EDM playlists. Unfortunately, living in the east coast, I had ZERO friends who were into Hard Dance. Even now that's the case, but thankfully more and more people are into it! To be completely honest, I'm really glad to know there are other people who love Hard Dance, but who also thoroughly enjoy all genres, like yourself! Thanks again for spreading correct information within this amazing scene! (Side note: One thing I have noticed is, the longer you listen to Hardstyle, the more you "crave." Years go by and even though you love the classics, you eventually want harder kicks, faster tempo, etc. Euphoric, then Raw slowly appears, then you get a taste of Hardcore, oops, here comes Frenchie who destroys your speakers. Is this just me?)
Dude! This video was so informative and transparent! I love how honest you are regarding your knowledge and intentions yet you opened me up to an understanding of EDM styles that I never had. Thank you!
This was very helpful. I’ve only been listening to EDM for about a year but I haven’t really dug deep into the different genres. ILLENIUM is what made me start to like EDM (specifically future bass) but I think that I’m going to start listening to other genres.
Concerning dubstep, there is a division between pre and post 2010 dubstep. The pre 2010 style uses low-frequency bass and filters out mid and high frequency, giving it a deep minimalistic sound. The post 2010 style introduces the mid-frequency bass giving a much more chaotic and energetic sound. It is more known because it is most often played at festivals where the audience wants something energetic.
@@McFwoupson tbf this video is highly Americanised, ignored most electronic music outside of the US and even gets techno wrong. I’d love it to talk about British underground electronic and 140 but that’s way outside of the scope of this video
@@Sam333x1 yeah I wasn't exactly a fan of the video lol. Not a very good representation of how much variety there is in electronic music, which is my favorite thing about it.
Heres another thing about EDM genre: a genre can also be determined by its BPM. (Beats Per Minute, for all you beginners) simply changing the BPM of a song can turn it into a complete different genre. Heck, theres even a term for songs that switch up the genres multiple times in the same song. Full Flavor. I highly recommend listening to Full Flavor songs to help yall tell the differences between genres. Some genre are extremely easy to tell due to its unique sound (Looking at you Hardstyle) but others are more difficult. Thus, Full Flavor. Here I will even recommend some songs that are Full Flavor. (Yes this will be edited because my memory sucks lolll) Karetus- Full Flavor. (Yes, that is literally the songs name) Entity- A.M.M! Hanna- Azune Kaixo- Quixotic There was another one but I forgot the name of it, but it was like 27 minutes long and packed with different things from Trap to Ambience to Hardstyle. Personally, my favorites are Full Flavor and A.M.M!
Hardstyle parties and festivals just hit different. Went X Years Gearbox last October and it was easily the best electronic party/show I’ve ever been to. Hopefully if travel opens up next summer I’ll be trying to hit up Defqon and Decibel 🤘🏼🔥
THANK YOU SO MUCH - As a Hardstyle expert I really appreciate you separating the genre out and explaining why to the general public! Great insight into genres I am not too familiar with and I enjoyed your content - HOLY SHIT U EVEN SHOWED GPF XD
My top DJs: Keep in mind... If I put these all in there “true genre” the list would never end.. House: Mark Knight Carl Cox Marquees Wyatt Eli Brown Green Velvet Trance: Dash Berlin Luminary Maor Levi Omar Sherif Techno: Boris Brejcha Amelie Lens Jeff Mills Planetary Assult Systems Technasia Progressive House: Lumidelic Blood Groove and Kikis Veeshy Talamanca Shingo Nakamura. This video was awesome! To those who are looking for new DJs, check out the vibe listed! Very good in my opinion!
Thanks for this! I've been listening to "electronic music" for years but never knew what the genre I enjoy was called (but now I know it's Future Bass)! I love the emotion and the builds in it!
I have been an active raver since the mid to late 90's and WOW how the whole EDM genre as a whole has evolved and expanded exponentially over these past 3 decades since it really started to become popular! It keeps getting more and more diverse and awesome all the time, IMO! I have followed the scene since it began here in the USA, and I love most all of the EDM styles out there... I really especially love the higher energy styles myself, the ones that give you a really great workout when dancing to them, and I especially love all of the styles that have euphoric, uplifting, happy feeling lyrics in them, especially female vocals! I just wish I had the money (and time) to be able to afford to go to all of the major music festivals there is now! WOW! Unfortunately I only have a part-time minimum wage job that barely pays my rent, (I have issues so I'm lucky to even have that!), but so being able to actually afford to go to any show that costs over like $50 is just a very distant "pipe dream" for me! :( So, that lack of money, plus me not having any "rave fam" to go anywhere with, I am usually just stuck with enjoying this type of music at home by myself... but it's still awesome, I will always love it throughout my life, as EDM in general is just so positive, uplifting, energizing, and inspiring, especially with good lyrics, as I mentioned above! PLUR2ALL! Peace (& Positivity), Love, Unity (& Understanding), and Respect to (& for) ALL Living Lifeforms! (People, Animals, Plants, Aliens, etc.)
I really appreciate how simply and clearly you've explained all these and the examples help a lot for newbies. I really feel like your dubstep section could have done with some more research though, a lot of what you covered was contemporary, hard, noisy stuff colloquially referred to as "brostep" which is what the US essentially did with dubstep - there is an entire spectrum of deeper, more stripped down, more percussive stuff from the UK which is where the genre really came from and where it continues to evolve. Since you're a person living in the US I can understand your focus being on that particular sound (and perhaps the extent of exposure you've had to the genre), but it feels like a misrepresentation of the genre and doesn't really help improve the opinion of dubstep held by the general population as "just noise."
@Amber’s Imperfections Not from the U.K, but if you want the more melodic side, Ace Aura and Pixel Terror is pretty good. People also like Illenium even though it's not for me.
@Amber’s Imperfections Sorry it's so late, but I never actually saw that you replied to this. Some artists I particularly like: Loefah Youngsta J:Kenzo L-OW Al Wootton
As soon as I heard the trance examples I knew they fit me the most (even added some of them to my playlist). Been a huge trance fan since I was a kid, I even remember children from Robert miles being my favourite song as a 7 year old. I’ve also been blessed enough to see some of my favourite djs in ASOT and ABGT. But lately I’ve grown to like progressive house too, but EDM is such a broad music genre. It has been a blast being a part of this community, I’ve met the loveliest people because of it! 🥰
Thanks for putting this together. It is crazy hearing just how much the brostep sound has bled into all the other non-bassmusic genres now. Will be interesting to see in 10-20 more years, if this was evolution or a fad. (Thanks again for such a kick-ass vid!)
Subscribed!!! This was super helpful! Ive been in the mood for songs just with good vibes and I know I like a few, "techno songs" but never knew what styles really pulled me in! Now I go back to spotify and look for some Hard Dance Music!! Many thanks!
i started to liking Hardstyle last year, and now its my favorite type of music. i hate the fact that people hate arround that type without giving it a chance to listen to it a bit deaper. (even friend of me)^^
I didn't really know about Hardstyle too much until recently, but now that I have, it's most certainly another style of electronic music I'll be making! :D
As an aspiring music producer, I love most genres of music and I do experiment with them in my own tracks, but I usually prefer Future House. I used to do Melodic Dubstep and Future Bass but I turned to Future House and Bounce after discovering Brooks. I love his basslines.
I feel the same way with people confusing EDM with just being dubstep. There's sooo much more. Nice video btw! Edit: for hardstyle I for one love the Organ Donors. They're from the UK and their new album 'ultrasound' is great
I feel like this is a really good introduction to these particular genres because I am mainly someone who listens to metal and rock when it comes to music I also enjoy, blues, jazz, and orchestra (Classical) music, I clicked on this video cause whenever I'm talking to someone I know about music I usually have to explain the difference between genres and artist so maybe I'll be able to talk about a genre their familiar with instead of babbling on about something they have not heard of, now that I've bored you to tears I wanted to say thanks ever so much @Cotton Kandi Raves I'll look more into these DJ's and maybe find stuff I like, cheers.
Thank you! I was not clear about the differences, and now I know that my favourite of these is dubstep! Thanks for the suggestions of who to listen to!
I'm mostly listening to pretty much all kind of Hard Dance Music, but occasionally some Deathstep as well :) I've spent a lot of time around EDM, and this Video is really accurate, love it!
This is a pretty decent guide into such a complex universe. I would also recommend DI FM radio, they have a large assortment of channels for a lot of these electronic music subgenres. You can also find most of the recommended podcasts there. I'm a personal fan of the "tradicional" genres such as House, Techno, Trance, D&B and Hard, not so much of the EDM wave which started around 2008-2010 specially Big Room house but the beauty of electronic music has always been its democratization and its inherit experimental nature. More genres will continue to emerge as people keep experimenting with sounds and new technologies and that's great considering that the founding genres were minimized (criminalized almost) but managed to thrive thanks to the underground scene.
went to my first rave at edc this year and i was so overwhelmed with all the different genres lol. i was like “i like this style! what is it?” then my friends proceeded to name off like a dozen different genres lol. this video helped sum it up pretty much. i definitely love techno, trance, dnb, and house.
This was very informative. Thank you. I am in my late 50's and within the past few years have really started to like EDM. At first it was all just the same to me, but then I started noticing differences in things. Jump Up was something that really hooked me. DNB is awesome, but I have to tune into A State Of Trance every week, I love that genre. Techno and Jungle are really strong attractions. This coming from someone one listens to The Carpenters and Metallica. Jim Croce/Harry Chapin and Halestorm/Disturbed.
Remember Underworld? They dropped their first album in 1988. I wasn't alive then and had never heard of them but I saw them in iceland not too long ago and man, they went surprisingly hard. Makes you appreciate how long some of these genres have been around and how much shared knowledge there is for new artists to build upon. EDM is really where a lot of the innovation is happening and it's really fun to dig through the endless troves of music that exist. Enjoy the journey and let me leave you with "Tipper - Pillow Roulette" for something more out there and "4am Kru - High Time" for some modern jungle that's meant to sound like it came from the 90s :)
There's also ebm and basically the entire cybergoth music culture Gabba is another genre in the hardcore style that is really interesting, lots of documentaries on it..another great dj in the hardcore dance music genre is scooter Also, shpongle and infected mushroom are some dope psytrance groups
I'm 52 now, but about 12yr ago I came across a Deadmau5 set on RUclips and just couldn't stop listening. And even though I can't really break down the sub genres that fall under the EDM (or whatever catch-all term is most appropriate) umbrella, I love listening to so much of it. Had never heard terms like dubstep, psytrance or synthwave at the time, but even though I can't have an intelligent discussion on this stuff, I know that I love listening to it. That's all that matters.
im a edm veteran...literally only listen to edm and have for almost 20 yrs....this was still helpful for me lol, interesting to hear about some genres i dont pay much attn to
House is always my go to, but when your at a festival you always find something at every stage you like, electro house and drum and bass are something I discovered at festivals. I would recommend going to festivals to build your knowledge of EDM, you never know what youll like or find.
I don't know if it was mentioned in the comments but techno disco is up and coming, which is proving to be my fav. I'm 52 and got into EDM a few years back. Being an 80s girl, I loved disco and also Howard Jones, Tears for Fears, Ah Ha, so techno has fit into my wheelhouse of music. I have recently been listening to Purple Disco Machine, SG Lewis and Roosevelt. I was a die-hard SHM fan and I have now switched to Purple Disco Machine as my go to DJ. Going to see him in March and I CAN'T WAIT!!! Thanks for the video!
Purple Disco Machine is awesome!! Love how he fuses techno, house, and disco (the latter of which is the parent genre of house)! So awesome you're gonna see him!
This video taught me that what I like is dubstep, which I never knew. I recognized almost zero artists mentioned in the other categories and them all but one of the dubstep ones
At this point hardstyle and hardcore are so different they may as well be different genres all together. Its like the difference between hard rock and deathcore. They may have similar instruments but the composition is completely different.
I never knew the name of the genre I liked but I knew I loved listening to Seven Lions, Slander, and Illenium. Now I know it's called Future Bass. Thank you

House - boots&cats&boots&cats
Dub - wobbles and screeches
Trance - chords and harmony
Hardstyle - Dongs
This is one of the most accurate explanations of EDM sub-genres I've ever seen 😂
Pretty sure I've never heard any wobbles and screeches in any dub I've been listening to: ruclips.net/video/ztq7-kkygZk/видео.html
Psycore = the soothing sounds of a construction
Which is why trance really does it for me.
Dubstep growls is better
The spectrum can also tell you a lot about the music just visually. Check how cool the house music looks 1:45 like a wave flowing from side to side with the rhythm, in trance you can see the beat tries to remain in the same place 5:42, in dubstep you see that the beat tends to spread to different places 8:08, in future bass you see the obvious persistent bass signal dominating the whole thing 14:37. For me the house one was the most interesting to watch with the wavy effect in the music.
Upvote
Checkout some Phonk music sometime.
The house music spectrum part you mentioned is not always necessary. It depends on the melody and instrument used.
Really cool comment

I'm 50 and I recently got interested in EDM. I would have to say my favorite artists are Daft Punk, Armin Van Buuren, Pegboard Nerds, and Glitch Mob
I recommend listening into various genre-based mixes now and then, and not limiting yourself to a handful of artists/DJs/genres. (pretty sure you didn't mean it that way anyway)
It's not meant as an attempt to discredit anyone or anything, but from my experience, I did not expect some things to grow on me the way they have, and they wouldn't have if I hadn't given them the benefit of the doubt when I was in the right mood for them. Granted I kinda became more picky than I was in my youth, but my playlists have become a lot more diverse as well. (That's probably something a lot of people experience over time, so I'm not telling you anything new.) Good luck with finding your music, and happy listening to you.
In sorry but that isnt edm. This lady got it wrong because she knows very little about electronic music.
House and techno arrived before edm. Edm is a fast drop genre of electronic music. Daft punk is house its not edm
Sadly Daft Punk disbanded
@@discopurgatory EDM is just short for electronic dance music. Saying house music isn't EDM is like saying death metal isn't heavy metal.
@@werewindwolf Yo, I’m interested in your playlist!
The songs that she picks to showcase each genre really goes to show that people who are primarily into festivals are listening to such a small homogenous slice of what all these genres have to offer…festivals have really blurred the lines between these subgenres for better or for worse
Hello! This is a genuine question, since I'm pretty new to the scene, what types of songs/artists would you say break this stereotype? I've been listening to a lot of Japanese EDM, but I can't really describe/categorize the music I listen to, I just listen to what I like. But I've been wanting to expand my horizons bc listening to the same thing all the time is... tiresome. If you could recommend me music, I'd love that :)
@@cybelleeee1467 Hello! I can only speak for American festival culture because maybe it’s different elsewhere but there is a huge underground history to all of these subgenres that have different (albeit adjacent) roots and origins! If you look up historically popular artists of these genres from the 90s, you can hear how much more different each of these genres were back then.
For classic house, a good start is Strictly Rhythm Records, Frankie Knuckles, Kerri Chandler…
there’s also modern lofi house that you won’t normally hear at fests (No_4mat, COMPUTER DATA, DJ ÆDIDAS).
Classic Detroit techno (Cybotron, Jeff Mills, Mike Banks) vs modern techno (Brutalismus 3000, Revised Records, Schwefelgelb).
Classic jungle/DnB (Tom & Jerry, Peshay, Origin Unknown, Dillinja, LTJ Bukem, DJ Hype).
There’s also a large internet-centric sphere of electronic artists like Machine Girl, Starjunk 95, Galen Tipton, Purity Filter, Dr. Gabba, Golden Boy).
I also recommend using bandcamp’s music discovery, you can go deep into rabbit holes of artists putting out underground music of any genre.
I hope this gives a decent jump-off point and that you enjoy!
@@cybelleeee1467I forgot to mention there’s an entire world of electronic music outside of EDM, like IDM and industrial/noise and ambient
@@SkullServant98 tysm! ^__^
yeah im kinda thinking the same. a bit dissapointed to trance ... not being the trance i listenened 17:06 was more of it!
I love mostly House Music, specially Progressive House and Big Room House. I also love Techno.
Such a mood! It’s like seeing myself 4 years ago when I first know house music and I use the term I love tropical house music everywhere lol
@@巧克力汤圆粉 why r u so mad bro he just telling us what he likes

Big room😍
I would like to mention synthwave. 1980's inspired EDM is the best way to describe it. Artists like F.M. attack, and Miami night's 1984
Also Carpenter Brut is so unique he’s like his own genre
I think I've heard some of this as well. Is it any way like Synthpop?
@@AngelGonzalez-zb6td Yes. Like other forms of edm there are sub genres. ex: hardstyle- hardcore, melodic hardstyle, jumpstyle, ect ect. Synthwave aka retrowave has synthpop, chillwave, darkwave/darksynth, and cyberpunk.
@@zrally2107
Retrowave is different from synthwave. Retrowave is more old school while synthwave is its modern interpretation.
@@zrally2107 Chillwave is older than synthwave.
I think this video does an excellent job overviewing the genres and it’s obviously difficult to fit in all the nuances of each one. My only note, for people getting into EDM, is that these examples are all very big room/rave-focused. A lot of edm is more lowkey, melodic, dark, or atmospheric.
This
The video is really focused on the festival/rave side of the styles but you could easily make a hour long video about every single genre and their subgenres
What about hypertechno?
Exactly this! If you are reading this go listen to some Lane8.
Shes like "Forget that mainstream crap" no demonetization for me :) Love you Kandi
this is not mainstream or what ?

I've been a metalhead my whole life and a metal drummer for 13 years but I do like electronic music as well, this is a great guide to learn some differences in the style, thanks a lot
Sometimes it feels like being into metal is like being vegan or gay. Its not that big of a deal, but you still want to let everyone know about it.
@@earlgrey2130 someone's not getting any attention at home. I feel sorry for you.

@@jesusvera7941 what does one have to do with the other?
I remember as a kid seeing the Mortal Kombat movie and the music changing my life. The main theme and Orbital - Halcyon On and On, with the eurodance hits at the time, really shaped my music taste growing up. Looking back I can see why my favorite genre of electronic music is trance.
Its like hip hip and EDM got married and then made a Trap baby
Rap and edm
Nope. Trap originated from begining of 2000, south american rap, Atlanta style.
MrBialy3000 trap originated in the early 90s in ATL
Wolfy
WHAT IS CHIPTUNE ??
Like Chipzel for example... or like Kubbi !?
@@PhillyTornadoSpin nope atl aint have trap at the time the south only had southern hip hop miami bass new orleans bounce music Memphis rap atl didn't get trap in till early 2000
Back in the 90s/00s I used to stay up until 2am when the indie radio station would suddenly play euro and progressive trance. I would try to stay up so late to hear the whole thing and record it on my cassettes. It was never enough, all of my friends liked happy hardcore or techno but didn't know progressive anything lol I was on my own
So nice having everything on RUclips now!
Thanks so much for this. I'm 53 and I started with Jean-Michel Jarre and Vangelis in the 80's. In the 90's I listened to The Orb and Orbital. Now I'm into Above and Beyond and Chicane. For several years though I've been confused as to what all these sub-genres are and your video really makes things clearer.Seems that I am a Trance fan.
I've been a professional musician for many years but I'm just now trying out my first Traktor console and I'm just getting into EDM for fun. This was so helpful and I love how you're giving examples of stuff you love and have invested time into and even footage you caught live! As a musician, I so appreciate people with this kind of passion, thanks for being in the world and helping people like me make.a living. I couldn't have asked for a better intro video, thank you!
House, electro and techno...nowadays is very mixed. For me is about the beat...change it to much and is another genre .
All other genre in this video is very marked.
It is a special video...for sure.
Oh man I remember a time when all electronic music was called techno, we wore these things called trap pants and went to raves in Sketchy abandoned warehouses, good times makes me feel old though. Thanks for video I’ve been curious about this for a while.
I'm a huge trance fan and just wanted to mention a few more artists like Solarstone Pure Trance Radio show, Ori Uplift show, Aly and Fila Future State of Egypt and Nora En Pure. Incredible artists!
My 13 year old daughter: you wouldn't like this much less understand anything about it. It's about the beat and the energy.
Me: ...wondering should I tell her about me from 1995-2000 at the State Palace Theatre in New Orleans at raves (wish I would have kept all my flyers from back then)
Just take out your glowstick and pacifier and throw on some music and show her whats up!
Ah, the 90's when raves were the next great public menace. The illegal parties and the scary drugs. Good times.
Any pre-defined illegality of peaceful and respectful partying should of course be illegal itself.
(Not trying to make this a political thing, but.. it was and still is a political thing alright, and we all know it.)
Hahahhaha
@@werewindwolf
Your right back in the day when it was just "house music" it was about peace, love & unity, and to throw of the suffocating shackles of society. I always was surprised that that mentality managed to survive for as long as it did here in The Netherlands and Germany, though since 2010 that ideal was broken down more and more as the scene got embraced by mainstreet. Of course good tracks are stll released today, but most modern day releases to my opinion are as generic and soulles as can be.
Just happy to see drum and bass get a mention! Never understood why it hasn't taken off massively in America.
Yes probably the most underground EDM genre in america. But I have been a fan since 2009!
Obviously because it's just two instruments.
Needs more cowbell for america- WAIT!
That's part of a drum kit!
My fav genre as well! Maybe that’s because I’m a drummer…
UK reppin' the best Drum and Bass since the beginning !
Dude, right?!
When I was still learning about EDM, I had to know what each of them were, and I found this. This explained everything.
Infected mushrooms has really good Trance
Dj S3RL has good happy hardcore
S3RL is a living legend
Infected Mushroom would be Psytrance.
Old school trance anthems paid it's dues
Besides s3rl she forgot eric prydz and joyhauser
Infected mushroom and astral projection are the goddddddsssss of psy
So glad you included DNB in this ❤️
Yeah
DnB is awesome
I didn't know I listen to so much DNB
She failed to include drumstep
Leave the drum and bass to the UK style

Pls don't lump dnb in w edm
I’m trying to learn because I want to make EDM for fun. But, I feel like the 10 million sub genres are just people trying to claim their own thing lol.
Once you start making it you’ll understand

Both are so unique. I love EDM. Would be nice to see more like Pendulum and Nero, though.
Hey for anyone else who loves the generalised EDM umbrella genre, another notable mention for a podcast is Monstercat's instinct podcast. Monstercat is a record label that bring attention to old and new upcoming EDM producers they include 99% of the genres explained here (all except techno I believe, but I may be wrong) and they always bring a good vibe.

💗⚡️🌈🙏
...and all that time I thought edm was just 'noise' with no feel, emotion, melody, nor story, and outright refused to accept uplifting trance, progressive house were part edm. Sigh, miss the old Tiesto and his ISOS compilation series...Thanks for putting this together!

Try melodic dubstep!
@@anonymoususer2764 What would you recommend in this subgenre?
@@crazywolf889 Seven Lions - Remember!
Funny thing is Dubstep most people consider noise, I consider the most pleasing. Mainly gives a feeling of adrenaline/high dopamine that gives me the tingles. All the ones with less 'noise' dont do it for me... not saying its bad just not for me.
Techno. 🌌
not a "EDM beginner" but that Video showed me that i love EDM in genrell. Every Genres has its cool sides, i just love some Genres as Techno even more.
Hardstyle is a genre where all of the music have those 'donk sound'. You hear donk sound, it most likely is hardstyle, or some harder genres(frenchcore, hardcore etc).
all hardstyle music exist in a spectrum between Euphoric Hardstyle which is more melodic, featuring softer 'donk sound' and may be 'cheesy' to some people, and Rawstyle which emphasize on the rhythm of the beat(donk sound) and darker screeches. In the middle of the spectrum you will find Rawphoric Hardstyle which combines the melodic and the rhythmic elements.
Examples (from euphoric to raw):
Sound Rush - Froz3n
D-Block S-Te-Fan - Love On Fire
B-Front & Adaro ft. Nikki Milou -Phoenix Of The Night
Ran-D ft. Skits Vicious - No Guts, No Glory
Ran-D & Endymion - Antidote (Kronos Remix)
I love everything on the hardstyle spectrum. I like hardcore and happy hardcore too but not as much as I like hardstyle.
Did you mean the kick? I don't its called the donk lol. Pretty sure the donk is just in russian hardbass
Not a donk sound donk sounds you hear in russian bass house distorted bass sounds
Trance my fav 😫❤

Yep me too. Always Hardcore .... "hardcore will never die" .... remember that saying? How true it is. Hardcore has been around for over 25 years now.

This was awesome! I grew up loving all EDM, and this started back in the 90's as a kid! Literally all of the genres you listed (and beyond) I have been through, understood and loved. Then, around 2007-2008, I discovered Hardstyle with Moon Boy (If you know, you know,) and from there my preference in EDM changed forever. Hardstyle was my life, and continues to be so, although I still heavily rotate my EDM playlists. Unfortunately, living in the east coast, I had ZERO friends who were into Hard Dance. Even now that's the case, but thankfully more and more people are into it! To be completely honest, I'm really glad to know there are other people who love Hard Dance, but who also thoroughly enjoy all genres, like yourself! Thanks again for spreading correct information within this amazing scene! (Side note: One thing I have noticed is, the longer you listen to Hardstyle, the more you "crave." Years go by and even though you love the classics, you eventually want harder kicks, faster tempo, etc. Euphoric, then Raw slowly appears, then you get a taste of Hardcore, oops, here comes Frenchie who destroys your speakers. Is this just me?)
Dude! This video was so informative and transparent! I love how honest you are regarding your knowledge and intentions yet you opened me up to an understanding of EDM styles that I never had. Thank you!
This was very helpful. I’ve only been listening to EDM for about a year but I haven’t really dug deep into the different genres. ILLENIUM is what made me start to like EDM (specifically future bass) but I think that I’m going to start listening to other genres.
Concerning dubstep, there is a division between pre and post 2010 dubstep. The pre 2010 style uses low-frequency bass and filters out mid and high frequency, giving it a deep minimalistic sound. The post 2010 style introduces the mid-frequency bass giving a much more chaotic and energetic sound. It is more known because it is most often played at festivals where the audience wants something energetic.
I call it "dub vs. gay robots."
Pre 2010 dubstep is making a comeback thankfully. People refer to it as "deep dub" or "140" lol.
Post 2010 dubstep is also called brostep
@@McFwoupson tbf this video is highly Americanised, ignored most electronic music outside of the US and even gets techno wrong. I’d love it to talk about British underground electronic and 140 but that’s way outside of the scope of this video
@@Sam333x1 yeah I wasn't exactly a fan of the video lol. Not a very good representation of how much variety there is in electronic music, which is my favorite thing about it.
As a massive psytrance and goatrance junky, I am surprised by the sounds of the other sub-genres of trance 🤩 thnks for the very informative video
Heres another thing about EDM genre: a genre can also be determined by its BPM. (Beats Per Minute, for all you beginners) simply changing the BPM of a song can turn it into a complete different genre. Heck, theres even a term for songs that switch up the genres multiple times in the same song.
Full Flavor.
I highly recommend listening to Full Flavor songs to help yall tell the differences between genres. Some genre are extremely easy to tell due to its unique sound (Looking at you Hardstyle) but others are more difficult. Thus, Full Flavor. Here I will even recommend some songs that are Full Flavor. (Yes this will be edited because my memory sucks lolll)
Karetus- Full Flavor. (Yes, that is literally the songs name)
Entity- A.M.M!
Hanna- Azune
Kaixo- Quixotic
There was another one but I forgot the name of it, but it was like 27 minutes long and packed with different things from Trap to Ambience to Hardstyle.
Personally, my favorites are Full Flavor and A.M.M!
Hardstyle parties and festivals just hit different. Went X Years Gearbox last October and it was easily the best electronic party/show I’ve ever been to. Hopefully if travel opens up next summer I’ll be trying to hit up Defqon and Decibel 🤘🏼🔥

Thank you for watching and thank you for these recommendations!
Thanks for this! I've been listening to "electronic music" for years but never knew what the genre I enjoy was called (but now I know it's Future Bass)! I love the emotion and the builds in it!
I have been an active raver since the mid to late 90's and WOW how the whole EDM genre as a whole has evolved and expanded exponentially over these past 3 decades since it really started to become popular! It keeps getting more and more diverse and awesome all the time, IMO! I have followed the scene since it began here in the USA, and I love most all of the EDM styles out there...
I really especially love the higher energy styles myself, the ones that give you a really great workout when dancing to them, and I especially love all of the styles that have euphoric, uplifting, happy feeling lyrics in them, especially female vocals!
I just wish I had the money (and time) to be able to afford to go to all of the major music festivals there is now! WOW! Unfortunately I only have a part-time minimum wage job that barely pays my rent, (I have issues so I'm lucky to even have that!), but so being able to actually afford to go to any show that costs over like $50 is just a very distant "pipe dream" for me! :(
So, that lack of money, plus me not having any "rave fam" to go anywhere with, I am usually just stuck with enjoying this type of music at home by myself... but it's still awesome, I will always love it throughout my life, as EDM in general is just so positive, uplifting, energizing, and inspiring, especially with good lyrics, as I mentioned above!
PLUR2ALL! Peace (& Positivity), Love, Unity (& Understanding), and Respect to (& for) ALL Living Lifeforms! (People, Animals, Plants, Aliens, etc.)
I really appreciate how simply and clearly you've explained all these and the examples help a lot for newbies. I really feel like your dubstep section could have done with some more research though, a lot of what you covered was contemporary, hard, noisy stuff colloquially referred to as "brostep" which is what the US essentially did with dubstep - there is an entire spectrum of deeper, more stripped down, more percussive stuff from the UK which is where the genre really came from and where it continues to evolve. Since you're a person living in the US I can understand your focus being on that particular sound (and perhaps the extent of exposure you've had to the genre), but it feels like a misrepresentation of the genre and doesn't really help improve the opinion of dubstep held by the general population as "just noise."
@Amber Is Alright I'm no expert but I frequently see Burial's first album (self-titled) cited as an iconic dubstep album.
@Amber’s Imperfections Not from the U.K, but if you want the more melodic side, Ace Aura and Pixel Terror is pretty good. People also like Illenium even though it's not for me.
we love constructive criticism! I loved the video as well and this is also good to know
@Amber’s Imperfections Sorry it's so late, but I never actually saw that you replied to this. Some artists I particularly like:

Al Wootton
@@mattthomassound Burial is more UK Garage than Dubstep, no? Classic dubstep would be artists like Skream or Benga.
As soon as I heard the trance examples I knew they fit me the most (even added some of them to my playlist). Been a huge trance fan since I was a kid, I even remember children from Robert miles being my favourite song as a 7 year old. I’ve also been blessed enough to see some of my favourite djs in ASOT and ABGT.
But lately I’ve grown to like progressive house too, but EDM is such a broad music genre. It has been a blast being a part of this community, I’ve met the loveliest people because of it! 🥰
Can't believe she didn't mention Robert Miles
Thanks for putting this together. It is crazy hearing just how much the brostep sound has bled into all the other non-bassmusic genres now. Will be interesting to see in 10-20 more years, if this was evolution or a fad. (Thanks again for such a kick-ass vid!)
It hasn't everything she played is EDM. Absolutely none of that has crossed over into the actual genres she's listed!
When you gave the examples of artists, you should include the subgenre on the screen. Dope vid!
yeah she should have put the sub genres on screen
Subscribed!!! This was super helpful! Ive been in the mood for songs just with good vibes and I know I like a few, "techno songs" but never knew what styles really pulled me in! Now I go back to spotify and look for some Hard Dance Music!! Many thanks!
i started to liking Hardstyle last year, and now its my favorite type of music. i hate the fact that people hate arround that type without giving it a chance to listen to it a bit deaper. (even friend of me)^^
Thankfully you joined this late, 10 years ago you had to dig for tracks. By about 10-20 artists in total, glad you joined Hardstyle!
I didn't really know about Hardstyle too much until recently, but now that I have, it's most certainly another style of electronic music I'll be making! :D
I tried, can't stand it. Something about it sound so cheesy to me. People just have different taste.
Hard music is the best music :)
Future Bass
Illenium
Seven Lions
Gryffin
The Chainsmokers
Marshmello
San Holo
Drum and bass is the best of them all the energy that comes off that music hits perfectly, and brings everyone together ❤
It sounds like video game music to me but I dig it
the only downside with drum n bass is that legs get tired and you just can't dnb any more lol
As soon as I heard you say "hardstyle is my sh*t" I instantly liked this vid!
🧡🧡🧡
As an aspiring music producer, I love most genres of music and I do experiment with them in my own tracks, but I usually prefer Future House. I used to do Melodic Dubstep and Future Bass but I turned to Future House and Bounce after discovering Brooks. I love his basslines.
I feel the same way with people confusing EDM with just being dubstep. There's sooo much more. Nice video btw!
Edit: for hardstyle I for one love the Organ Donors. They're from the UK and their new album 'ultrasound' is great
Who's still looking at the 2020 festival schedule and feel like crying?
Slander B2B said the sky edc 2020. I was supposed to be there
I feel like this is a really good introduction to these particular genres because I am mainly someone who listens to metal and rock when it comes to music I also enjoy, blues, jazz, and orchestra (Classical) music, I clicked on this video cause whenever I'm talking to someone I know about music I usually have to explain the difference between genres and artist so maybe I'll be able to talk about a genre their familiar with instead of babbling on about something they have not heard of, now that I've bored you to tears I wanted to say thanks ever so much @Cotton Kandi Raves I'll look more into these DJ's and maybe find stuff I like, cheers.
Thank you! I was not clear about the differences, and now I know that my favourite of these is dubstep! Thanks for the suggestions of who to listen to!
I'm mostly listening to pretty much all kind of Hard Dance Music, but occasionally some Deathstep as well :)
I've spent a lot of time around EDM, and this Video is really accurate, love it!
This is a pretty decent guide into such a complex universe. I would also recommend DI FM radio, they have a large assortment of channels for a lot of these electronic music subgenres. You can also find most of the recommended podcasts there. I'm a personal fan of the "tradicional" genres such as House, Techno, Trance, D&B and Hard, not so much of the EDM wave which started around 2008-2010 specially Big Room house but the beauty of electronic music has always been its democratization and its inherit experimental nature. More genres will continue to emerge as people keep experimenting with sounds and new technologies and that's great considering that the founding genres were minimized (criminalized almost) but managed to thrive thanks to the underground scene.
went to my first rave at edc this year and i was so overwhelmed with all the different genres lol. i was like “i like this style! what is it?” then my friends proceeded to name off like a dozen different genres lol.
this video helped sum it up pretty much. i definitely love techno, trance, dnb, and house.
This was very informative. Thank you. I am in my late 50's and within the past few years have really started to like EDM. At first it was all just the same to me, but then I started noticing differences in things. Jump Up was something that really hooked me. DNB is awesome, but I have to tune into A State Of Trance every week, I love that genre. Techno and Jungle are really strong attractions. This coming from someone one listens to The Carpenters and Metallica. Jim Croce/Harry Chapin and Halestorm/Disturbed.
Remember Underworld? They dropped their first album in 1988. I wasn't alive then and had never heard of them but I saw them in iceland not too long ago and man, they went surprisingly hard. Makes you appreciate how long some of these genres have been around and how much shared knowledge there is for new artists to build upon. EDM is really where a lot of the innovation is happening and it's really fun to dig through the endless troves of music that exist. Enjoy the journey and let me leave you with "Tipper - Pillow Roulette" for something more out there and "4am Kru - High Time" for some modern jungle that's meant to sound like it came from the 90s :)
There's also ebm and basically the entire cybergoth music culture
Gabba is another genre in the hardcore style that is really interesting, lots of documentaries on it..another great dj in the hardcore dance music genre is scooter
Also, shpongle and infected mushroom are some dope psytrance groups
I'm 52 now, but about 12yr ago I came across a Deadmau5 set on RUclips and just couldn't stop listening. And even though I can't really break down the sub genres that fall under the EDM (or whatever catch-all term is most appropriate) umbrella, I love listening to so much of it. Had never heard terms like dubstep, psytrance or synthwave at the time, but even though I can't have an intelligent discussion on this stuff, I know that I love listening to it. That's all that matters.

House is always my go to, but when your at a festival you always find something at every stage you like, electro house and drum and bass are something I discovered at festivals. I would recommend going to festivals to build your knowledge of EDM, you never know what youll like or find.
My favorite genre is apparently called Futura Bass. Now I have something to put into the search engine.
Melodic dubstep is one of my favorite genres. Similar to future bass but more dubsteppy. Check out Crystal Skies, Au5, and Mitis!
Great examples
love the way you really love edm and introduced the basic genres : it was easy to understand for beginners like me.
I don't know if it was mentioned in the comments but techno disco is up and coming, which is proving to be my fav. I'm 52 and got into EDM a few years back. Being an 80s girl, I loved disco and also Howard Jones, Tears for Fears, Ah Ha, so techno has fit into my wheelhouse of music. I have recently been listening to Purple Disco Machine, SG Lewis and Roosevelt. I was a die-hard SHM fan and I have now switched to Purple Disco Machine as my go to DJ. Going to see him in March and I CAN'T WAIT!!! Thanks for the video!
Purple Disco Machine is awesome!! Love how he fuses techno, house, and disco (the latter of which is the parent genre of house)! So awesome you're gonna see him!
Purple Disco Machine is a VIBE!!!
Thanks for giving the name to a genre of music I’ve been trying to find. Now following Purple Disco Machine!
Good!! My favorite is Future Bass 🖤🔥
Same :D
Hell ya! Ive seen all the people she listed. All super great live
Illenium ascend tour is my life😌😌
@@alisaangels2646 he absolutely killed it at Decadence AZ 2019-2020
This video taught me that what I like is dubstep, which I never knew. I recognized almost zero artists mentioned in the other categories and them all but one of the dubstep ones
At this point hardstyle and hardcore are so different they may as well be different genres all together. Its like the difference between hard rock and deathcore. They may have similar instruments but the composition is completely different.
they're still barely different. their only difference is bpm. sure hardcore has more hard edges, but overall they're still the same concept
This type of music makes me feel like I am living in Neuromancer or Blade Runner, and since those are dystopias, well...you know.
With all due respect to your EDM knowledge and award-winning video production skills....you have textbook perfect teeth.
I never knew the name of the genre I liked but I knew I loved listening to Seven Lions, Slander, and Illenium. Now I know it's called Future Bass. Thank you
A lot of Monstercat releases :D🔥
Two Drunk Bears agree, veryy nice. I was singing along to all Monstercat tracks
