I absolutely cannot stand electronic music. Any kind of dance music, rap, techno, pop-rock, etc. that is made or heavily influenced by computers sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. This can sometimes be difficult in social situations as whenever it is playing I automatically insult it and ask for it to be changed. I don't want to appreciate it, that is not the problem, I was just wondering if anyone else hears the same awful noise that I do when I listen to it.
If no one has already done so, might I suggest Boards of Canada? They are an Electronic/Ambient duo from Scotland, but are unlike any electronic music I've heard. No irritating high pitched squeals, no 4-on-the-floor dance beats, no wubwubwub crap. Their music is.....soft.....warm......nostalgic. Seriously. I hated electronic music before these guys. Their music is more organic somehow. Just give 'em a shot, eh?
Just quoting this because Boards of Canada have been my favorite musical group since when I first heard them in 05. I've listened to so many of their songs so many times. Excellent, excellent duo.
Agreed. They've become my Xanax in audio form
I have their entire discography on my NookHD and I listen to them all the time at work to block out all the outside BS and just get lost in my head......helps with the anxiety a lot. I just wish they'd release those 400+ tracks they say they have just lying around the house

Lol. First of all, I find it hilarious when people say they "hate" one particular genre completely - especially something as varied as EDM and Electronic Music. I mean if people aren't into it, sure thing, that's no problem. The music you like is based upon your personality and own taste, but saying one type of music is "bad" in general without properly exploring it is really - really - immature, lol.
I personally cannot stand most (most) metal music. I like some progressive metal, and some sludge/doom metal, but it just isn't my thing. The artists are technically skilled though, as are people who hate electronica. And if anyone in this thread thinks its as simple as pushing a button and making a song - please make an electro/dance track and upload it. If it's so easy - I'd love to hear it.

Actually writing a dance track IS easy. Especially these days because you can download pre-made loops or whatever and basically treated like a paint-by-numbers kit. Download loop packs, put them in whatever order you like and voila you have a song. And patching in drum patterns in to a sequencer is a piece of cake as its all the same with slight variations.
The only hard part about writing a dance song is just the final stages like mixing and mastering........unless of course you're like millions of other people out there that slap a preset on it and call it a day then.....nevermind.
Thats why I don't write dance music *shrugs*.
