Nice little thing to describe the genres of Electronic music

Made by some Dj guy. Quite funny what he says, and it offers a timeline when the music came out, and examples of each tune!

For those that were wondering what 'IDM' was for example

Ishkur is just an often-funny oppinionated douche whos good at flash. It says in his flash that he made up most of it. The flash is satire - not some kind of purposely informative database or anything.

But, he quotes Maestro Fresh Wes' "Let Your Backbone Slide" as a landmark track for hip-hop. How can I disagree?

Rap star, you's a mosquitah
I'z a play Tarzan, you play Cheetah
Cheater, biter, love to forge....

Better yet, I'll call you Curious George!

Does it get better than that?

he made up most of it

You mean... "stupid house" isn't an actual genre?

Made up or not it was really funny and cool to hear all those old tracks.

Now, add in "grime" and "speedgarage" and "dancehall" and he's done.

Those words there already, well maybe not grime.

It's pretty comprehensive, even if he says he made it up. And although you can tell he's heavily biased in certain directions he's still quite informative.

Funny, I must have like 80-95% of all the d'n'b and related music there, and I've never seen most of those terms used... (I just heard it called d'n'b)

I understand the need for major classifications, but it's baffling with the narrow scope of d'n'b, triphop or hardcore for example. Who would actually use such terminology. "I dig neurofunk and liquid. sometimes a bit power electrics" huh?
