Do You Like Electronic Music

[EcoHulk]

I like electronica, mostly the usual like daft Punk and DeadMau5.

I also like some electro-pop too, Pet Shop Boys mostly.

 

[Vault101]

Typically I like loud and aggressive music. However my days of taking acid gave me a great affection for industrial (as it was like a modern incarnation at the time of some of the ideas set forth by pink floyd like Welcome to the Machine)

I got a little bored with electronica for most of the last decade, but recently gotten into some dubstep because as I said, I like loud and aggressive music. Dubstep seemingly is trying to push the boundries Reznor started to push before he flaked out.

So yes, have an appreciation for it, Some of it I like, Most of it, like most music is garbage though.

Simply put I can fully enjoy music made without a single traditional instrument just as well as I can traditional music. Its really all about the merit and quality of the individual works.

"flaked out" you say? interesting at which point/alubum would you say? (what exactally do you mean by "flaked" out?)

Ive just recently gotten really into NIN and I love it! especially his earlyer stuff (as I just sais) like somone took the 80's and made it dark

anyway personally the Idea that "its not real music becaus it doesnt use REAL instraments" is the stupedist thing ever

I love House. Namely Daft Punk.

At this moment, I'm listening to Around the World.

I used to absolutely hate it, but I found that going out, getting smashed off your tits, and dancing the night away makes it sound a lot better. After the first few times, whenever I heard a song from the night before, I would generally like it purely from the memories it invoked, which soon evolved into liking just about all of it purely for the sound of it. I find a lot of it fun, and makes me want to dance, get hammered, and live for the memories

 

[Aprilgold]

Most I ever liked was Daft Punk, enough said.

 

[Small Waves]

Yeah, but all of the bands OP listed as downright terrible. I like stuff like Aphex Twin, Yellow Magic Orchestra, 808 State, Björk, Gangpol Und Mit, DJ Technorch, and Emeralds.

 

[similar.squirrel]

I've been listening to a rapidly increasing amount of it lately. It kind of started with bands like The Knife and Radiohead, then I started to get into Venetian Snares. Now I'm addicted to Downlink and Infected Mushroom.

 

[Overlord93]

Like it?!?! I LOVE IT!!! Im ADDICTED!!!
It all started way back with a little Dance, than i moved on to House and little David Guetta...
Later on i listened to techno and moved to harder and harder stuff...
Now i can't wake up without listening to mindfuckery that would give you normal people a huge headache...
Im also a supporter of HARD BASS movement.

[Noala]

hell yes, listen to Kraftwerk (invented every style of electronic) and Daft Punk mostly

 

[Scarim Coral]

Daft Punk is the only electronic band I liked. Well ok there are still a few others like Mylo but Daft Punk I can listen straight away since the others I may have to listen a few times to wheather I liked it or not.

 

[Keava]

Industrial, EBM, Aggrotech, Classic Electornica (Kraftwerk), Synth/Cold Wave (Depeche Mode) ... yeah i do like it. I like good musci, genre doesn't really matter, nor the instruments used to produce it.

 

[King of the Sandbox]

Does wubstep count?

If so, I answer with a resounding WUBWUBWUBWUBWUBWUBWUBWUUUUUUUB...break.... WUBWUBWUBWUB....

 

[Zac Smith]

I'm into Industrial Metal and Aggrotech

 

[Xaryn Mar]

Yes but only the old stuff. Mostly Jean Michel Jarre but also some Vangelis and Kraftwerk.
Almost anything newer than that I don't consider music to be honest (exceptions are Pet shop Boys and some Daft Punk).

 

[Outright Villainy]

Daft Punk, of course, are amazing. I've heard some Justice too, they seem pretty good as well. I like chiptune stuff a lot too, hell I've even wrote a few chiptune songs.

 

[Terminal Blue]

I like EBM, Electro-Industrial, Industrial Dance Music, Aggrotech and Rhythmic Noise, which I suppose qualifies me.

 

[II2]

Love it!

I got into it through old industrial (Throbbing Gristle and Einsturzende Neubauten) and kinda branched into the tangle of genres from there. My greatest affection is still for experimental electronic music: typically post-industrial, IDM-DSP, music concrete, Foley sound wank. Bands like DownLOAD, Xanopticon, Somatic Responses bring all my favorite elements together nicely.

But... I appreciate all sorts of stuff and try to keep an open mind. There's tons of great music out there.

 

[II2]

I like EBM, Electro-Industrial, Industrial Dance Music, Aggrotech and Rhythmic Noise, which I suppose qualifies me.

I think you'd get a kick out of Plastic Assault if you haven't heard them(?) ... great "new oldschool" EBM... Very remindful of Caustic Grip era FLA or various Nitzer Ebb.


Also, for powernoise / rhythmic noise:

 

[octafish]

I love Suicide, does that count? Also a big fan of The Tubeway Army and Rob Grainer/Delia Derbyshire.

 

[Mark Flanagan]

Love it, My favourite band at the moment is Shiny Toy Guns.
It's strange as I really hated clubbing when I was a teen but now I can't get enough. Don't really know what Dubstep is, I've heard the term but haven't had time to look into it.
