Every genre has its fans and its hardcores who connect with it on a different level than other people, and to extents that others may not understand. I can completely respect that. With any form of art, one person may think "garbage" while the next person's first thought is "brilliant".
There are bands that I know practically no one cares for anymore whom I still can't get over or move past because I was so captured by their sound. Others may laugh and say "geez they were bad". But personally, what they had created struck me a completely different and profound way.
So yeah. I don't mean to bash anyone's favorite group in particular if it happens to fall under EDM. I think it's awesome that some of those artists can connect with their fans on that kind of level. But like I said before, it's not that it's not enjoyable to listen to. Sometimes I'd prefer it over anything else. Depends on the mood.
I'll maintain my stance on the issue, as that's just how I perceive it, but it's not to say that there aren't some brilliant minds working under that form of music.
