Time signature variety in popular music (why can't I find any good 6/8 edm?)
I was just wondering why everything I hear is still in a 4/4 time signature. The obvious answer is that it's simple and everyone is used to it but it's not the only time signature that people know and can dance to. I feel like some acts like Odesza, Flume, Porter Robinson, or Kygo could pull off something great in 6/8 time.
Idk, maybe I'm missing something. Let me know what you guys think or point me in the right direction if those tracks are out there and I just haven't found them yet.

Edm is meant to be straight forward and simple. If you want some music with various time signatures that you can dance to, check out some funk bands. TWRP specifically comes to mind
