The Music Thread!( No Rap Or Country)

I knew u were gay!

Yes, it is a very happy video!

Electronica includes a wide range of contemporary electronic music designed for a wide range of uses, including foreground listening, some forms of dancing, and background music for other activities; however, unlike electronic dance music, it is not specifically made for dancing.[1][2] The term was first used in the United States in the early 1990s with regards to post-rave global-influenced electronic dance music.[citation needed] Genres such as techno, drum and bass, downtempo, and ambient are among those encompassed by the umbrella term, entering the American mainstream from "alternative" or "underground" venues during the late 1990s.[2][3] Prior to the adoption of electronica for this purpose, terms such as electronic listening music, and intelligent dance music (IDM) were used

thats straight from lolwiki some maybe you can understand it? might be on your level of comprehension.

and im only so aggressive towards you cause he explained it in his post. let me bold it for you.

But it IS a genre actually. Drum and Bass is a sub genre, but at the same time can be used by a douche like yourself as a "production method." If you were to substitute "electronica" with "electronic music" as a production method then EVERYTHING would be "electronic music" due to the fact that every type of music that is produced is done so electronically. Once again, you are either being a troll or are just a flat out dipshit.

inb4 anyone can edit wiki

i think he already got to wiki. it now says

"Electronica is the gay"

Electronica does not exist. Not as a genre or a description. It was coined by the North American music press to refer to the second wave of electronic music's explosion in the late 90s, and exists purely as a marketing buzzword, not any actual quantifiable branch of music (the first wave of electronic music, incidentally, they called 'techno', and, having driven the word into the ground beyond all sense of meaning, they couldn't keep using it if they wished to re-market the music). Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim, Prodigy's 'Fat of the Land', Chemical Brothers and other big-time stars of that period were all called "electronica" at one point or another, but the person who really popularized it in the public consciousness was Madonna and her shallow, William Orbit-produced piss-poor attempt at appropriating trance music as something she invented (Ray of Light). She used that word all the damn time in interviews. If you want to talk about the music as a whole, simply call it what it is: "electronic music" (or EDM--Electronic Dance Music--for the club/rave stuff).

Huh.

Totally didn't think he had a real voice.

lol someone should text that place that gives the answers to ***via txt and take a pic of it...

also quoting wikipedia = admitting you know nothing about the subject. great job. surely i dont need to explain to you that wikipedia is an awful source of solid information, seeing as anyone can edit it

Semantics.

and to make amends to the OP for my bickering i will post another vid. sorry OP and someone already posted nightwish a finnish band and heres another.

*** CALLED IT!

Dismissing an entire genre is pure ignorance.

progressive rock

Technically, according to you, Metal doesn't exist and neither does country since 1) They are all just words that were "made up" as you say to describe an art form 2) They are broad descriptions of the music that is produced just like ELECTRONICA.

you sir, don't know your *** from a hole in the ground.

are you really that *** stupid? wow, im impressed. being produced electronically, and going through a studio mixdown and master are two completely different things. i bet you listen to metal, youre *** HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE

Lol'd

metal exists because its a genre of music with its own defined sound and influences. electronica does not because it is not a genre of music with its own defined sound and influences. there is just plain old metal out there, as well as death metal, black metal, and what have you. there is no plain old electronica.

You're*

The apostrophe is the place-holder for the space and first letter of the net word.

Yea, but the problem with this that unless you provide a valid source for the information you pull, Wiki lets you know that a citation is needed. On the parts of info that supports my argument, no citation is needed. *** you and have a nice day EskaeTheGay

and you call me the troll lol, having fun listening to creed? and omg you go to 4chan?! can you get me a premium account there plz

Alright enough you guys.

I used to go to 4chan, before it filled with people like you.

And I listen to a wide variety of music.

valid source for the information? lol unlike you ive actually been involved in the electronic music scene for over a decade. you copypaste wikipedia. settle down

I've* (Capital I because it is a shortening of two words 'I have')

yea, commenting on people's punctuation is a great pussy cop-out for all occasions. although a bit overdone id say

I just try and educate the uneducated.

Gave you guys chances to cut it out.

All this over electronica...

Oy vey~
