Electronic Music Guide (you HAVE to check this out)

You may want to sticky this, but that's just me.

This is like my new favorite site. Confused between the differences between Drum and Base, Acid, House, Industrial, Jungle dance music? This site takes every sub genre you can think of, maps them out in relations to other genres, provides multiple music samples for each genre and funny smart-ass descriptions from the site's author.

It's not just dance music either- it ventures to rap, hop hop, anything that uses electronic instruments in it.

The tutorial is basically just the history of the MIDI and stuff like that, nothing special. Dont worry about going through it.

But for the VG freaks, click on Techno on the side then look in the lower-left-center part of your screen, check out VGM (video game music)

His history of the Moog skips straight from 1961 & dorky scientists to 1970 & the Minimoog & black people, completely skipping the Monkees & Beatles & Beach Boys in the late-60s.

[...oh, wait, he mentions the Beach Boys later.]

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Genre in electronic music is atrocious. Pick up a stone and throw it, you'll hit something cliched. The worst is the confusion between actual musicians and DJs. DJs are just spinning someone else's music, mixing up sampled beats and whatever else. They don't write their own material, and what they do does not define electronic. It's a sad state of affairs that most of the populace thinks all electronic is like that.
