I totally get what you mean. There are people who use the term "EDM" or "dance" that could not tell you the difference between Tiesto and Skrillex. Actually I was DJing last night and I was just getting started so I was playing some chill indie stuff (like Friendly Fires and Yeasayer, hey it's New York it makes sense) and these hipsters came up and one was like, "you are going to play dance music right?" and the other was like "do you have any Armin?" like Jake said, 10 years ago people were calling everything "techno" or "shitty euro music" and now they can just say "EDM", which is at least a perfectly find umbrella term. It's like people who just call wine "red" or "white". It's like, good for you, you don't really know anything about wine, you just know that you like that one red wine at the supermarket and that makes you happy, that's good and well but you don't know what you're missing, and maybe I'm a wine snob but I love to talk to other wine snobs and explore all the different kinds of wine and let me tell you I know when I'm looking for a Pinot Noir or when I'm looking for a Sauvignon Blanc and I promise I won't bore you with my wine snobbery but we are just different and you shouldn't hate me for it.

I mean, most people recognize brands, not styles. They just know "Skrillex" or "Avicii" or "Calvin Harris" but say "dutch house" and they would tilt their head at you like you just made that up. There's nothing wrong with that, whatever makes people happy. The one good thing in my mind about EDM being popular, is that if you want to make the big $$$, you can just make music that fits the pop dance template and make a go of it, and if you want to stay underground and keep your street cred, then you can just keep doing what you are doing and when someone asks you "oh hey you make electronic music does it sound like david guetta" you can be like "no" and move on.
