Extremely Genre Specific /r/electronicmusic Playlist Megathread

Overview

One of the most amazing things about music is that its variety allows it to cater to the tastes of everyone despite the great differences in between people. This can also lead to a challenge, however, as, despite our best efforts to categorize music into genres that can be used to neatly describe specific styles, discussing tastes can be challenging to someone who is unfamiliar. Especially now that there are so many different genres, it can be daunting to try to find what a new genre is really about or how to explain your favorite genre to a friend. To combat this issue, I have decided to start this weekly activity in which everyone can work together to create r/electronicmusic ‘s extremely genre specific playlists.

It's simple, every week I will upload the name and description of a (sub)genre of electronic music. Then everyone can nominate a song by posting it. People upvote the submissions they like that fit well within the genre. Finally, at the end of the week, top 20 songs by different artists will be made into a playlist.

If you are interested in joining us, you can start by filling out this survey which will help us choose which genres we will look at in November.

Then, click on the latest creation thread below and post / upvote the songs you want to see in a playlist.
