Both Chimes and this song are barely EDM, haha.

Well, not so much EDM, but like EDM.

Or anything by Tiesto.

Or if it's painfully repetitive and you wouldn't be able to rap over the beat, it's probably EDM.

If people dance to it in appropriated Native American garb, it's probably EDM.

Ew. That's progressive house to me. I thought EDM was just a general reference to most high-tempo electronic, incl. trap trip-hop etc.

Yeah I made a slight addendum.

Boulder may have warped how I perceive EDM since it's so big here but they pretty much always play the same stuff.

I'm probably being generous too, cause there's just batshit tracks like this, and then much more mass-appealing but still trippy stuff like Flying Lotus (by the way, is that a giant rainbow nug?)-- I'm pretty sure they're both considered EDM :I whateva

edit: totally unrelated but _refugee_ what do you think about the Flying Lotus track I have here, I believe you mentioned liking electronic music before I wanna gauge your taste.

I'll check it when I am not busy writing poems about how much I would like to kill everyone on this train (aka this evening).

Don't worry ref, as I always say they'll all die eventually =)
