Alison Wonderland: The DJ From Down Under Who Hates EDM | Forbes

[@dannyoceanss]

She didn’t say she hates EDM, she basically said she doesn’t want to be put into a box of just a certain style or genre because she has influences from all kinds of music. Very misleading title.

[@JoyBoyTM]

Hello fellow rezzbien 🖖 I think they just didn't watch the same video as us, don't bother with them

[@sleepymonkey714]

VERY VERY misleading

[@a3gill]

So, none of you watched the video, then... She said EDM has a different meaning in Australia. That meaning is what she doesn't like. I like her stuff, of course it'll never be able to ascend to the level of commenters you all are...

[@residentevil327]

1:18 "I dont think I am an EDM artist" lol...

[@timkinney8719]

Lol don't you know the real experts just comment on youtube videos and the amateurs go out and create? Duhdoy...

[@VexedLex]

I love her music, but in the interview she reminded me of the hipsters who don't want to be called hipsters because it's trendy.

[@BemkyWatchesBuffy]

yeah edm has been used as a blanket term for electronic music for a long time... and she even admitted she doesnt know what genre to call herself. but it seems this is an australian thing.. or a hipster thing as you said... well we need a word because i spend way too much energy trying to explain to people what kind of music she plays

[@johndonahue3644]

everyone who disliked this has no idea what the fuck music is lmao EDM is a horrible term lol when i think of "EDM" i think of shitty mainstream artists like The Chainsmokers, Carnage and Caked Up LOL Real electronic music takes talent and a special creative mind to make, and all of Alison's music takes so much heart and time...

[@MusicFromTheOm]

How can I "thumbs up" your comment more than once!?!!?! ;-)))

[@sunitawagh9466]

Since when is carnage mainstream

[@theforlornunicorn6909]

I can understand what people are saying in the comments, but I have to admit, as a girl it's kinda nice to see another girl dj/music producer out there

[@MusicFromTheOm]

Don`t listen to them, Alison is on Skrillex level, if you ask me, girl or not! She is amazing! Have a great day! (like half a year after you wrote this...lol)

[@theforlornunicorn6909]

EviL_2mc this is the nicest comment I've ever gotten on youtube. Thank you so much and have a great day!!! :)

What's the song at 3:03 ?

[@sualocin]

"The day I found the Knife" short film really sums up the effect their music has on people

[@tzetzo_tzetzov]

Google shows no results to me. Can you give more information on how to find it?

[@sualocin]

@@tzetzo_tzetzov I found it on the Silent Shout Live DVD concert recording I bought a few years ago

[@SyncroScales]

3:10 Alison Wodnerland says Australia does not embrace their own artists? But in other interviews she says that Australia supports all of the local artists. There are people from Australia who say they support their artists if they are not too mainstream or act like the American music industry.

[@strangelyfamiliar1729]

That's not what she said. She said "I've never seen Australia embrace local Artists like they do now (and it's really beautiful)". So basically i think she meant that, atleast at the time of this interview, Australia is embracing their local Artists a whole heck'ofa lot more than (they did) in time past.

[@phliip7362]

legend!

[@LandonRobinsonUS]

Great interview. Almost forgot about The Knife.

[@chaosbacon3787]

Still a legend 👌

[@drifter402]

A DJ who hates EDM? You mean every single non-EDM DJ?

[@int_int_int_int_int_int_int]

it's funny because she is a total fraud and uses ghost producers.

[@cdramafpv]

huh? Ghost producers? like who?

[@deadassjellyfish9311]

Karnuval elaborate???

[@Meowblivion]

Karnuval proof?

[@eagletalks6087]

What she hate is the term EDM.

[@sadv0m]

She reminds me of Dash Snow.

[@iandestroyerofworlds576]

I'm picky with my EDM, too.

[@wildnorthamerica7827]

Forbes upgrade your video edits, probably spent 3k on this video

[@patatapatosa]

Sorry but I'll stay with Annie Mac, even if she does not produce

[@ivyshaolin2333]

she makes me want to pick my cello back up

[@mssingu123]

Misleading title FFS

[@Brohnzi]

So she doesn't hate EDM. She just hates the word

[@fraziierr]

uh lol, I saw her posting a video today of her saying " when you're on vacation but miss edm " LOL GTFO.....

[@ohyeahyeah6994]

she's a girl man, she earned my respect

[@danielmullins9953]

She hates EDM but makes Trap? Huh...

[@anphil5033]

yup, She's so incoherent...

[@TheKmert]

She doesn't like the word EDM, which makes sense. She doesn't to put a label to her music because that will limit her in terms of creativity. It would put her in a box and maybe force her to play a certain type of music rather than just spreading out. Forbes made a huge misleading mistake on the title of the video because, of course, she loves electronic music but she says she doesn't like the word 'EDM'. Nowadays, some people refer EDM to new Justin Bieber songs which I think she is trying to escape (the commercialized music).

[@2mnw2cloud23]

Daniel Mullins ya

[@eagletalks6087]

She doesn’t like the word EDM which doesn’t means that she doesn’t like this kind of music

[@T1DPlaxisZer0TBG]

A lot of people who dont apreciate the other genres only like Trap because it associates with rap and hip hop

[@artyumdragstov8823]

[@skriptico]

She's an entertainer, not a dj.

[@unmuchoproblem0]

we (hipsters not hipsters) hate the term "edm" because we were around for electronica music and knowing just what sound to put in which sub-genre of electronica music. it was around 2011 or so when blog-house and bro-step kinda fucked the game up.

[@cdramafpv]

blog-house.. you learn something new every day.

Alison you're playing edm. Just stop.

[@chuckyboigaming]

Some of the music is dope, but she's kind of cringey

[@alexh9865]

trust me if you see her live that cringe honestly fuels you and makes you feel so good. her vibe is contagious and really helps people break out of there comfort zone.

[@journey1186]

yea a lot of celebrities are actually very socially awkward

[@chuckyboigaming]

Honestly don't like anything about her...

[@strangelyfamiliar1729]

But there's obviously something that appeals to you.
