Music INSIGHT ETDHME FSOURREGFINRGONTTO Entering 2013, it became clear that electronic dance music (EDM) is now absolutely ines- capable. It has infiltrated American cul- ture in ways that haven’t even become clear yet. Ten years ago, you would have called me crazy if I told you that electronic dance mu- sic would one day become the most popular genre of music in America.Yet, here we are, liv- ing in a world where EDM is by far the largest, fasting moving, and most influential genre. Turn on any pop radio station, and what I am saying becomes immediately apparent. I mean we literally have Dubstep breakdowns in everything from Britney Spears to Jay-Z. In the future keep your eyes on Billboard’s Top 100 song chart, and you’ll begin to notice that those songs are produced by dance producers, not pop/hiphop producers. With names such as Swedish House Mafia, Calvin Harris, Avicii, Martin Solveig and David Guetta in the mainstream radio markets now what other proof do you need to say EDM is huge! But how did this all happen? How did the genre of music that Americans swore to shun, suddenly become the fastest growing? EDM’s growth is at- tributed to the fact that Americans are finally beginning to realize that other countries actually exist…More and more Americans are growing up in fami- lies that vacation abroad. More and more American students are studying abroad during their college years, and most importantly, the Internet has completely broken down the walls that once existed between cultures.

EDM has onlyrecently stepped into the spotlight. The genre, however, is hardlyyoung. It began as an underground movement in the 1980s. Simi-larly to how hip-hop crossed over into the mainstream in the late1990s and 2000s, EDM is now coming of age, and in a big way. Ageneration of music fans are shifting their musical gaze from thehip-hop driven popular music that dominated the 2000s, to thepolished sounds of house, trance, dubstep, glitch, breaks, and thedozens of other sub-genres that fall under the umbrella of EDM.The rise of EDM has influenced pop music itself and an increasingnumber of stars are turning towards electro beats to fuel their hits.INSIGHT April 2013 11
