  • Edm stands for electronic dance music. I like it personally, but it is definitely an acquired taste. In terms of where it stands with electronic music, it goes like this from softer songs to harder: edm, house, deep house, trap, dubstep. Some trap songs are pathetic rap songs that wouldn't be in here, but other songs typically called trap tend to be harder than house.

  • It's the kinda music they play at raves, the songs are very long and drawn out & most sounds the same, so it gets repetitive. Here's an example

  • What do you mean by long? It's average song length, so I don't quite understand that. But repetitive, yes, very. The idea behind the music is to reuse the previous bass drop to save time and because the focus isn't on the musical complexity; it's behind the energy inducing feeling behind the music. Of course, a lot of it is subjective, but as a more or less EDM fan that's how I always thought of it.

  • I've heard some songs that were like 10 or 15 minutes long. I'm sure not all of them are like that, but when it's already repetitive, making it that long is unnecessary
