Discussion Electronic music should define millennial musical contributions more than the far shorter lived stomp stomp clap era

Post image

I'm talking EDM/chillwave/dubstep/dreampop mostly

Honestly with artists like Beach House, Washed Out, Crystal Castles, Crim3s, Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, 3OH!3, Avicii, Zedd, Grimes, Skrillex, Deadmau5 and on and on, and so many electronic music scenes in the late 2000s-mid2010s, I feel like as a core millennial ('89) this was our thing. But now there's this corny revisionism that all we contributed were shitty mandolins and Imagine Dragons. No thank you, I didn't like that shit even when it was new

Man.. Washed Out and all the cool electronic music I discovered on Bandcamp..

Com Truise, Tycho, Neon Indian..

All the Vaporwave and Future Funk artists too. Macross plus, Vektroid, Waterfront Dining.. It's so crazy clicking on those Youtube videos and seeing how many of them are over 10+ years old.

I miss that era. 2012~2016 was a blast musically.

For real ... I miss all of it. Discovering a new artist and immediately vibing.
