[@zoltanlukacs5059]

In all the comments I saw no reccommendation or mention of one genre: Synthwave (also sometimes called retro-electro, basically mid-to-late 80's beats and tracks with just a touch of "modernism"). There are even subgenres of it, like Darksynth, Post-Darksynth, Horror Synth and Slasherwave, Cybersynth, Chillsynth, FutureSynth / Space Synth, Dreamwave, Outrun, (Neo) Italo Disco and Vaporwave (and probably some more). I just feel like it should not be left out, It's getting more and more popular (at least where I live) and I love it!

[@fransoto8343]

Maybe synthwave as a whole fits into downbeat? Idk

[@hunsthetics9803]

Vaporwave is not part of the synthwave movement. It is its own genre

[@tsukikage9601]

Was looking for this comment wondering in which category synthwave would fit into. So it's not a sub genre but a genre after all? (I'm kinda new to electronic music so sorry for this basic question)

[@sakkusen]

Italo Disco is a new subgenre? Nah mate, it's been a genre since the early 80s and gave birth to Eurobeat in the late 80s and early 90s

[@corespark7956]

What about speedcore?

[@rekaviles]

Spent way too little time on techno. It's as versatile and vast as house music with its own liat of sub genres.

[@McOxigen]

Could have included melodic, acid and minimal, like the three top genres of Techno.

[@ArcUpp]

Exactly what I thought

[@v0lts]

personally i know minimal and I dont even listen to techno so this definitely should have included subgenres

[@HiNRGboy]

I'm more familiar with House than Techno but yeah they both have several sub genres, including Tech House lol

[@alexelliott9733]

I agree 100%, but then again the lack of focus on techno is exactly what I expected

[@xylophone897]

Only 1 nitpick: Breakbeat isn't called that because the beat is 'broken', it's because the beat came from sampled drum breaks (especially from RnB)

[@CinemaBizarreShinya]

Thank you!

[@N3ONLUV]

Yeah, thank you. This part pissed me off particularly

[@KriAsb]

Nightcore is as much of a genre as [BASS BOOSTED] is.

[@DirtyDan666]

KriAsb No. There are own created songs. Self-made.

[@KriAsb]

Nightcore is by definition not original music. Its closer to a lazy "remix style" than a genre. Sorry bro.

[@DirtyDan666]

KriAsb Yeah, but there are self-made nightcore songs. No remix.

[@Blasulz1234]

the Nightcore in this video refers to remix that use high pitched samples and have an overall faster feeling, which quite frankly takes the equal ammount of skill like the normal remixes. But that has nothing to do with what you find here on youtube where ppl think speeding up some song with propotional pitch is enough to call it nightcore. and THAT is the same as calling *bass boosted* a genre

Wild Chandelure it's one of those cases where it's like you're listening to the same thing from different people a million times over, except you actually get tired of it unlike the pop and rap music that most people listen to.

Big Room is like Riddim; the style is generic and can be easily concluded to be uncreative.

[@droidzilla22]

There's too many subgenres with only a negligible amount of structural differences. Makes it hard to classify and also boxes in producers creatively.

[@droidzilla22]

Also a lot of overlap of genres.

[@B1SCOOP]

If producer tries to stick within frames of one genre, he's nothing more than mediocre producer. He's inbreeding himself artistically. However genre classification is needed, for listeners who seek music with specific set of traits. It's not only tied to structure of the tracks, but also on what type of samples and instruments were used, atmosphere and when and where it was created. In years 1987-1993, during Rave era, which I'm fan of, existed like 15 subgenres of underground dance music. But during that time nobody cathegorized most of it yet, it was done years later by enthusiasts of the music.

[@dr.matthewhertert310]

I totally agree, and yet these sub-genres are often created by insecure, douchebag artists who are trying to convince themselves they aren't douches, or to try and make themselves seem more edgy or unique. You see this kind of stuff throughout human culture, however, so not surprising we see it here. Ever seen a car covered with stickers from one sports team? Or someone dressed head to toe in one brand? All attempts to belong because people don't know who they are.

[@vycanismelodis]

A lot of producers, myself included, make a song without any restraints and then after we're done, try to define it in terms of genres. That's where a lot of sub-genres come from. If you make music and don't have any way to define it in terms of genre, it makes it much harder to grow a following; No one can find you!

[@jonsnow3696]

I think this many subgenres is hard for me starting learning, for example, i have started a melody in my daw but i need to know what subgenre this project should follow, so its a little frustating(im talking about BEGINNERS, if you know a lot of sub genres so you dont need to " stick within frames of one genre" but if yu are beginner, you should at least on the beginning) Nomi, the idiot Making a song without know what genre will be is danger, i did songs like this too but the result was "this sounds like child music" and i know others producers that have the same "shild musisc sounds like", but if this works for you nice...

[@jonasnisse4257]

DnB came out of junlge. Jungle started in early 90s as a more reggae/dub influenced form of the popular rave music at the time (breakbeat hardcore, techno, acid house) with bass and beats at the centre. DnB formed later where ragga influences were dropped in favour of a darker or jazzier sound (Andy C, Roni Size etc) which was more commercially viable, and significantly was less focused on black british culture.

Brushed up on more of my history since this original comment, and tho i wouldn't necessarily say I was wrong a year ago, it doesn't quite fully represent the relationship between the 2 genres.

[@jonasnisse4257]

@@jrnas8046 I think whitewashed in a strong way to put it. Jungle went mainstream and naturally white artists aren’t going to have the same black influences that defined jungle. That’s just the effect of a London/inner city subculture going global. Foghorn rollers can fuck off though.

A good drop, good beat, old skool lyrics, rather amusing MC'ing were great ingredients for a great track, more ingredients could be added but definitely good basic requirements. Happy Hardcore had it all, I always loved the bouncy beats and there were some fantastic drops in there.

Excellent break-down. Unfortunately, didn't quite hit the mark w/ BreakBeat. You couldn't be more wrong about breaks/breakbeat not being a genre; in fact, it's really 1 of the only 1s that IS a genre in itself. You correctly characterized the high level diffs btw typical 4-on-the-floor ("straights", house techno, etc. really just variations on the "straight" theme) and broken beats ("breaks"), which are the funky syncopated rhythms. Genre break-outs via beat metre/syncopation (this IS dance music) is more of a separation than the various 4-4 variations, separated only by the other instruments. Breaks can actually be comprised of the most variety of instrument/drum sounds, themes, etc (even non-syncopated 2-4 (as in BreakStep) and 4-4 sigs) without "breaking the mold"; it's really the only 1 that's not hamstrung by formulaic constraints. Your 1st "Techno" sample is actually a breakbeat. Check out BeatPort's "Breaks" category for a great example of all the wondrous and funky variety and glory. I've actually been around since before Disco and seen all these evolve, including the tiniest deviation triggering the overzealous to call something a new "genre". But you wanna pack the floor and bend necks/create ugly faces - nothing beats breaks! Was also disappointed that we left out the "Future"s (...house/...bass) prob 2 of the popular classifications now-a-days - as well as the popular Electro (unless I missed it), but again, more variations on the "4-4" theme. But hey man, awesome work, thanks for taking the time!

@@SomeFrequencies maybe it's cos I've been around a bit longer than you, not sure your age but "EDM" only became a used term and basically only really used in America when Rhianna was doing features with Calvin Harris and people like David Guetta and Steve Aoki became big. That was EDM. I'm aware of what the term stands for and I'm very aware that dance music is made electronically (I've been making tunes for about ten years) but to say that "EDM" wasn't a term that was coined to describe a genre of that cheesy shite chart dance music of the time is just not true. It definitely described something as a genre and you could identify it.

[@willy3toes]

@@SomeFrequencies house music was always house music, it was never an all encompassing thing to describe dance music. From the beginning of house there was various subgenres of it and techno existed at the same time. Like how far back are you talking? Because in the late 80's-early 90's there was many forms of house, acid, progressive, tech, jacking, deep and then you also had jungle, drum n bass, techno, hardcore, rave... and all of that fell under the umbrella of "dance music". The same way you now, I guess, use EDM for. But the term EDM didn't become a thing until the revival of dance music in the US again through the charts with people like the artists I named. EDM to me is basically the big room, big drop, cheesy commercial sounding electronic music. I mean you look at what gets labeled as progressive house after the EDM explosion, it's hilarious and it ain't progressive house. Honestly, I asked your age because I had a feeling you might have grown up during that explosion in the US, that's not to belittle you, it just explains why you come at it from the angle you do but as someone who watched from the late 90's early 2000 trance, progressive house scene up until now I can assure that me and many others (including well known DJ's) saw the EDM scene rise and I can assure there was a specific sound to it. Keep calling it EDM of course if that's how you describe the umbrella term for dance music but I'm just explaining why the people who say it's a genre aren't wrong either.

[@willy3toes]

@@SomeFrequencies Nah mate, call whatever you feel like it is. You made a good point at the end, I don't call all electronically made music "dance music" just the common stuff with beats basically, house, techno, drum n bass, trance, dubstep and all the subgenres that accompany them. But for things like ambient, downtempo or trip hop or whatever I would usually call them what they are but if I were to categorize them it would be just as electronic music, just the same as I'm sure you wouldn't categorize them as EDM?

@@Peter_1986 I don't think "Get ready for this" has a house feeling. For me it has no parental link with disco nor funk, it's mechanic, hard, cold. For me it's techno. Or dance, in its radio version. In the same genre, this one is techno for me : Antico - Freedom (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnm8gKqMjJyMr6M). The kind of techno which is darker and has not a lot of notes is rather called "minimal (techno)". But I presume some people will class those 2 tracks in house.

The genre I miss the most: Future Bass. It literally has Bass in it's name and has a huge influence in EDM. but nice list tho :)
