A classic era in music ends a week after losing one's virginity.

Rephrasing, when do you reckon the true electronic music era ended?

True, as in true metal

I don't think it is wise to take a snapshot at any given moment in time and proclaim "the end". Music is constantly branching and evolving. It is also cyclical and under the sway of fashion trends. Don't worry- your "classic" electronic music will return!

It has never gone away

It has just been overshadowed

But like true metal, which was once called metal, true electronic music was what one meant when talking about electronic music, and not EDM.

Electronic Music is not dead - it just smells funny.

I personally view a genre dead once it's been widely socially accepted and used in television adverts.
EDM is just another genre of pop music and as such could be considered as a modern form of folk music, designed to be simple, twee and get the feet tapping of the proletariat

Okay.. serious answer. When things went to software en-masse a lot changed - that's for sure. I think it's underestimated just how different composing on a computer screen is when compared to using old fashioned sequencers or just live playing/arranging. Using hardware has an amazing way of making you focus on the original idea - rather than farting around with endless possibilities on the screen.

1998, with the rise of mainstream trance

EDM is to Electronic music as Nu metal is to Classic metal
