/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

Repetition is what makes genres like techno and house what they are.

It's supposed to put you into a trance-like state. Brainwashing.

Not all of it is, but the mainstream dance music is because it's meant to be danced to. Electronic music is a very vague term, and you should avoid using it as much as possible.

dance music is loopy to make it easy for whitey to keep up.

cause 90% of the ppl who listen to it
are on mdma/molly/acid u name it

more of a trance

It's because the music is made to be mixed.
If all the music follows the same formula, mixing them in becomes a lot easier.
4 beats for every bar, every 8 bars the music transitions. Builds up, then fades out.
It's that simple.

also OP it sounds like you have a pretty ignorant and narrow-minded view of what electronic music is, it's broad as fuck and the way you talk about it makes it sound like you think shitty big-room house encompasses most electronic music when it doesn't.

You're dad sounds very unmerry.

slow development

Why is any repetitive music repetitive?

And 'tis the season to be merry! A 3 week long all hallow's eve followed by a week's break hangover & recuperation, then another 4 weeks of Christmas joy and laughter with friends, family and the public!

>implying majority of music isn't repetitive in one way or another
Yeah, maybe not progshit so much though. Still, I would take minimal techno over 20 minutes of pointless guitar masturbation.

>Dubstep gets repetitive
>Dnb is repetitive but is excused because it is meant to be listened to subconsiously (ie while driving) and a good amount of it (such as netsky, nu:tone, and the brookes brothers) is pretty wholesome
>Eurobeat same thing as dnb
>trance if done too long (ex: any deadmau5 album before 'album title goes here') can get tiresome
>a majority of the tracks on daft punks discovery are repetitive tho it does get periodically added on to throught such songs....homework is definitely repetitive
>crystal castles same thing as discovery

There you go, examples other than the cat piss known as big room

Bet you think every rock, metal and you-name-the-genre song is unique.

Most music in general is repetitive though, more often than not it's a double standard. Hell, there are people that throw a shitfit when something electronic repeats a single bar yet worship the repetitious intro-verse-chorus-verse-bridge-chorus-outro structure of most rock music. On top of that, a good chunk of electronic music is mostly produced to be danced to, for which repetition is just perfect. Electronic music is an incredibly broad term and there's plenty of stuff out there that's not repetitive at all.

Also I might add that repetition != bad.

Literally everything you mentioned was EDM which is not at all representative of electronic music as a whole.

Try Aphex Twin's new album. I'll give it one thing, a lot of the tracks are very progressive.
