I don't really know the answer. I would say that hip-hop is a form of EDM, because it is dance music that is electronic. But... others might not, I suppose.
End of the day, I don't really care. I think it's a dippy name, too.
Of course, EDM is WAY better than electronica... good LORD that sounds gay.
Well, that's what i hate. This endless genrefication to make people sound cool. Who fucking cares if it sounds "gay?" You think EDM somehow sounds less stupid than electronica? If it does, it's by a hair. All of these fucking genre names sound stupid. And frankly, the endless lableing and jingoism is one of the things that is holding back some good electronic music from further entering the mainstream. You make people feel stupid when they say "oh, i like this techno you're playing" And then you come back with, "no, this is minimal tech house."
