Electronic music is dead...

Electronic music is dead. The entire genre is populated by the worst kind of soulless mediocre entities who are more concerned with creating some kind of puerile “accelerationist” post-ironic vapid persona as if we didn’t already have Warhol et al over half a century ago. Generic beats with regressive, cliche sound design and zero compositional imagination. The most innovative new music of the next decade will see a resurgence of interest in acoustic instruments and a complete abandonment of tired 20th and 21st century genres such as edm and rap, inventing brand new structures and forms.

i dunno

This is so incorrect it hurts
If you really think we’re going acoustic you’re out of your mind
Electronic is the future and it’s currently at an all-time high in artistry

not much as he's mostly plastic

I agree with you on the aesthetics, which do seem to amount to "what if warhol but with internetz" (also unrelated by fuck banksy so much), but you're way off-base about the rest.

Electronic music peaked in 1963 with the original Dr. Who theme by Delia Derbyshire. It’s been downhill ever since.

Based and redpilled

Electronic is the future of the INDUSTRY.

Acoustic, acoustic-derived electric (ie: solidbody guitar, skeleton violin) at the very most, is the future of ART.

These two things, the state of the industry and the state of the craft, are becoming more and more separated as the industry delves deeper into music that only exists to be sold and even normies become aware of it. Electronic production is no longer representing ultimate creative freedom to the youth. It now represents cheap production and disposable "talent" that's just a face for a track anyone could star in. For the price of a DAW you could buy a guitar, but with a DAW you're just like everyone else, and you're just like the "industry plant". And with the guitar, you're a little less common. And that's what matters, right? The CULTURE of music has always been the domain of rebellious young people. Everyone else is an observer and private hobbyist, not a participant. And if they participate they only make an ass of themselves.

You’re projecting an insane amount. Rap will die. Electronic music will still dominate simply because there are so many more possibilities p. People associate acoustic instruments with a dead era. Why go back?

lmfao kill yourself immediately post club faggot

human evolution has already stopped, while technology will continue advancing on it's own...at a certain point humans will become bored and disinterested by electronic advancements because of it not being in their control. same thing goes for music. extremely simple trap is the thing that resonates the most with the youth today, so in the future, further “regression” wouldn't be much of a suprise.

They all exemplify the vapid persona(s) op talked about but ok

Stop listening to Spotify playlists and find real music nigger. Obviously you're not going to find anything innovative or exciting from Flume, Disclosure, Hardwell, or any other hacks. Try some popular experimental labels like Hyperdub, Planet Mu, Ninjatune, etc. Try to actually explore a specific genre and dig for the good stuff (dubstep, grime, DnB, techno, etc.). You seriously can't expect to get anything genuinely artistic from a mainstream dance pop producer and his 5+ ghostwriters

>The most innovative new music of the next decade will see a resurgence of interest in acoustic instruments and a complete abandonment of tired 20th and 21st century genres such as edm and rap, inventing brand new structures and forms
people have literally been predicting this for years despite that fact it makes no sense. it's the equivalent to someone in the seventies saying "the kids i'll get tired of this guitar music in no time and then jazz will dominate the airwaves once more". i do agree electronic as we know it could die out like rock but it's such a vague nebulous term i doubt the actual use of digital instrumentals is going anywhere anytime soon. in conclusion this is just a blatant boomber fantasy and trannies and fags are still the leading voice of music now no matter how assblasted you are about it

shut up faggot.

The Aphex twins' last ep was good

Tbh making good electronic requires having money and being a genius, thats why only Aphex is doing something interesting these days.

The future of electronic is microtonal but there is not really an easy way to do microtonal music on DAWs

fine fair, op dose seem to be making good faith augments but everything else i said still stands. culture dosen't simply go backwards when it get's bored pr stagnant, especially not when it's a technologically driven progression. no one's making black and white silent films today and if they are there certainly not doing it because for some vague "modern hollywood bad" motivation. in fact to continue this analogy, a good motive for making a movie with these archaic techniques would be a focus on purely visual storytelling. the issue with op is that neither the critique of electronic music, that it's mass produced and soulless, or the response, go back to acoustic, really hold up to much scrutiny. Electronic production is every bit as DIY as a band of punks jamming in there garage, in fact you could easily say more so because the producer has complete control and they an unlimited soundscape. now you could complain that this makes it easier (and i would complain you've clearly never spent time with any good sound software) but the qestion is weather it's good not "easy". there as also great rock songs that are written in five minutes and no one complains there lazy everyone seem to Harold them as genus. secondly op is completely out of touch with how popular "electronic" and "acoustic" music are relative to each other. to use a recent personal anecdote last night i was in a three hour drive with my sister who only listens mainstream music playlist off her phone. it was all her stuff and i heard only one song that could really be considered electronic (Happier by Marshmello) and shit ton that still had acoustic guitars and more rock instrumentals (mostly country and early 2000's pop punk). we still have more acoustic pop stars like Ed Sherran, Adele, Charlie Puth, while artist like Sophie, Arca or even Flume would struggle to get even a sliver of that commercial success, especially without a guest vocalist.
(cont bellow)

>electronic music
>one genre
You opinion is actually worthless.

people are always going to want there sappy acoustic love songs and there's nothing wrong with that. but even on the alternative scene rock still dominates and acts as many people's introduction to serious music in general with any new listeners becoming obsessed with classic rock and alot of that retro sensibility even leaking into the mainstream (see the several neo soul type albums that blew up a few years ago). and finally i think the real last leap electronic music needs to make to enter popular conciseness is one of style and structure. this is what the whole bubble gum bass movement is trying to change so i can see where OP is coming from in that regard however the divide in terms of accessibility is still there. getting people to listen to an ambient instrumental track for seven minutes is still a very tough sell whereas a simple three chord guitar ballad get your attention instantly.

okay now i'm done

sophie is a woman

Lmaaaaooooooo

Explain how you're going to do anything artistically innovative with only acoustic/electroacoustic instruments after over a century of artists pushing them to their limits. At best it'll be a rehashing of older styles, interesting only because of its juxtaposition against the modern world. Dixieland jazz songs about the Singularity or some shit.

Something new from this guy would be nice.

Read a book. Or a wiki article ffs. SOPHIE has nothing to do with warhol

based pick, new stuff coming soon he's been playing new music live for a few months.

none of them are really “creative”...it's kinda like how prog rock is literally named “progressive” but none of the “prog rock” made today is experimental or cutting edge. it has become stale because the “progression” was linear within the confines of the genre ― if it was actually progressive then people would bicker about needing a new genre name...fucking retards. it was too self referencial, it ate itself up. people will eventually get bored of synthetic sounds...not because the full potential has been met, but because the progression was linear. something more fundamental needs to change and i don't think using some random music software will inspire that.

And what is your solution?

But people do bicker about needing a new genre name. Some people want to call it "post club" or "deconstructed club" but that's clown shit and in the broader sense subgenres for electronic music is a retarded concept. There's fundamental diversity in "electronic music" that makes genre classification a pointless task. All you've shown is that you don't understand the slightest thing about electronic music.

wdym none of them are creative? And yes, most prog is not interesting these days. But neither were the majority of prog bands. Not all of them made original albums. And most of the ones that did made original music on the same level as some of the example I posted.

Originality comes from reinterpretation, taking old ideas into new contexts. Music evolution is generally linear. Change is slow.

it may be "better" production wise but overall i like koan sound more than culprate

A few of these are shit but don't do clarence clarity dirty like that.

Your whole list is precisely the shit OP is talking about. Are you daft or is that the point?

just bc yall and OP think SOPHIE is the -face- of electronic music rn doesn't mean she's a representative of the genre as a whole.


theres a good amount of queer black and poc based artists i named and on these labels that have way more personality and relatability than most musicians ever mentioned on this board.

NON and GHE20G0TH1K is enough for me to disregard anything that you have to say.

Yep we're done here.

Aphex been doing microtonal music since the 90s, he knows how to use it, it doesnt sound alien and it really changes sound

Hyperdub is way beyond dubstep man, they've been pushing all kinds of music, and same with Planet Mu. Lots of modern trappy-style (but good) music from Sami Baha, Silk road Assassins, Kode9, DJ Taye, Fatima al Qadiri, etc. Dubstep is still pretty active and quite fresh sounding, check out labels like White Peach, Innamind, System, Sentry, or heaps more. Grime even moreso, producers like Drone, Bengal Sound, Hi5ghost, Kahn + Neek, etc. are still fresh. I don't know what you listen to but you're keeping yourself ignorant if you think all these genres and labels are dead

As much as it hurts acoustic music will never come back, electronic music and hip hop will dominate the charts and music journalism like rock music did for decades.

blame PC music for it
SOPHIE is actually good tho

You might not have good taste or just dont look enough for the good shit. Electronic music is too easy to produce by one person now so the established (((industry))) cant really contract artists to "record" an album that they can take a majority cut from, so you wont see much of it being pushed in social media ads. Through digging Ive found many soundcloud folks with great works but nobody knows about them cus they just produce it and throw it up online among countless others. In actuality its probably quietly revolutionizing music as a whole as we can just diy music now. Were probably actually nearing an ai that can scan our libraries and make new music for us.

>But people do bicker about needing a new genre name. Some people want to call it "post club" or "deconstructed club" but that's clown shit and in the broader sense subgenres for electronic music is a retarded concept.
so you agree then
>There's fundamental diversity in "electronic music"
yes, and there is stagnation within those certain diversities. have you ever read the slogan for warp records? “post genre music” or something...i like that sentiment quite a lot, but i would like “post music” a bit more.
>All you've shown is that you don't understand the slightest thing about electronic music.
yes, and that's basically the point. would you really want to “understand” art like that? because if you did, that would either mean art is boring and shallow as fuck, or your understanding of it is boring and shallow as fuck. those genre stereotypes and recurring/regurgitated themes and sounds, your stifling of creativity due to your “understanding” of it. like i said, something more fundamental needs to change.
>wdym none of them are creative?
i just told you...i just fucking told you.
>And yes, most prog is not interesting these days. But neither were the majority of prog bands. Not all of them made original albums.
so we agree then
>Originality comes from reinterpretation, taking old ideas into new contexts.
yes, but you could take a spaceship and fly it into outerspace, while most music is just taking one step forward. on the other hand, you could go back one step, or a couple million steps. the latter being more fresh and original because of it being played in the context of current year, hence OPs point about acoustic instruments being the next thing.
>Music evolution is generally linear. Change is slow.
yes, and that's boring. that's my whole fucking point.

>yikes

EDM has too much femine energy in it now. Unironically the last real creative dance album was Skrillexs first album and you still have his disciples desperate to out do him while he moved on long ago. Since then (2012+)the gay agenda has made it impossible to go in more aggressive and raw directions and even the most “aggressive” producers are forced to wear rainbows and shill for commie propaganda. Another problem is the Dutch stranglehold on the festival and label scene but that is a different topic entirely.
