Cool site that will kill some time if you´r bored.

http://www.di.fm/edmguide/edmguide.html

Edit:

I just noticed you can switch between a handfull of examples for each and every genre. Can´t believe how much work the guy must have put into making that site.

That site would be very accurate and informal if the author wasn't such an oppinionated ass. The way he talks pisses me off. He does know his shit though.

He must have spend a lot of time putting it together.

Doesn't cover anything before the 70's though, not to mention a total bias towards club music of one sort or another. Plus the editorial bias in evidence.

Few problems with his cause/effect chains in those diagrams as well.

You do realize it's meant to be a joke, don't you? He says right on his website that he made up most of the descriptions and that this guide shouldn't be taken seriously. It's more satire than anything else.

Noisecore is not music insomuch as it is anti-music. It is a recreation of the sounds in our modern technological society through an abrasive form. In this instance, then, what is commonly considered noise is not. It is simply part of our surroundings through a grual introduction. For instance, imagine living in the city, seeing nothing but glass and steel and concrete consuming our daily grind like an apathetic beast shoveling food into its bottomless belly. Imagine also the sounds that go along with it, the jackhammers and cars and hustle and bustle of people moving about. These sounds have become so much part of our daily consciousness that we don't even notice it anymore. In fact, if it gets too quiet, we feel uncomfortable, as exemplified by our need to have a television set on in our home all the time, even if we aren't watching it. If you go out into a desert, or a lake, or someplace secluded from everything so that there is no sound anywhere for miles and no wind, hold your breath and open your mouth, you can actually hear the blood flowing through your ears. An interesting trick, yes, but it brings about the realization that total and complete silence is not actually capable to us. Unless you were born deaf, you have never known total and complete quiet; that is, zero sound waves reverberating in your ears. There is always a constant sound with you, even if it's your own heartbeat. An interesting way of looking at things, but at the same time it's also rather disturbing. I think the point I'm trying to make in all this is when it really comes down to it we need noise in our lives because we can't imagine living without it. Furthermore, despite this necessity--nay, DEPENDANCY--on the sounds of life and the world around us, and how pleasing this noise actually makes us feel, Noisecore as a genre is definitely not something we are looking for, and you are much better off simply disregarding it entirely and taking everything I just said as a huge collossal waste of time.

I don't care if it is a joke or if his opinion might offend anybody, but some weird people in Africa (e.e me) just might agree with him fully.

He doesn't update very often though. I've been checking out his site for the last year or so and nothing has changed. Like you guys said, no carnk or tarnce. WTF?!

Personally, I'm very impressed by the site. Yeah, he makes fun of some stuff I like, and some I don't but mostly he's right on.

Hilarious. The dude should get a medal for being able to put Wessley Willis and Monolake on the same page.

Except that Ishkur is still wrong about the history of Latin Freestyle...again!!!

But all that aside, I see some major improvement on this site....including extra information concering hip-hop.

If you looking for a good laugh, check out what Ishkur said about new age...what a low blow!!!
