Sorry, but 'EDM' is a specific term that should mean more than it does, but actually only really means the post-Skrillex bastarrd spawn of Brostep.

It should logically refer to all kinds of electronic dance music, but it doesn't, I'm afraid. Just like the time a friend was talking about starting a new night after stopping the old one a couple of years previously, but wanting to expand it to encompass a wider range of musical genres ... and I had to explain to him that calling it 'World Music' would not attract the crowd he was aiming at because ... despite its all-encompassing sense of "music from all over the World" ,,, it was a defined genre that did not encompass any of the genres he envisaged DJs/acts playing at his night.

It;s just one of those things.

In fact, it isn't even really that much, because EDM is not a real thing

Moreover, Acid House, Techno, Rave, Trance, (Electro) House, Psytrance ... and many, many other genres that are older than you give the lie to the implication that EDM is especially noteworthy for having been spawned in the aftermath of digital mixing — I was making my first forays into all-digital production in 1995 ... and I was a late starter already!

One way and another, I've been connecting with my own fans by way of social media since well before the advent of EDM (or even its constituent elements) ... and keeping up with other DJs/artists/acts who communicated with their fanbase that way since well before then (at least 2000, if not even before then).

None of this is even new, let alone especially a feature of EDM — it's been the norm since before you were quite possibly even born.

The music we listen to is about more than partying, whatever generation we are from.
