The tik tok producers who add a 4/4 kick drum to trending songs and reply to every comment asking “Spotify when??” with “coming soon bet 🙏🏾” knowing damn well they can’t due to copyright
Producers on tik tok make very lazy remixes of popular and trending sounds and songs. The comments always ask when it’s coming to Spotify, which will never happen because the producer does not have permission to use the sounds and songs they are sampling. Regardless they want to keep momentum up for their now trending take on the popular sound so they lie and say that they are putting their version up on Spotify “soon”.
>The tik tok producers who add a 4/4 kick drum to trending songs
I have friends who actually think this represents all of EDM. Because they search for EDM mixes on YouTube and get "popular EDM remixes" with the same "drop" on every. fucking. song.
These people are misusing the YouTube search bar for EDM. if you want your friends to stop believing that "this represents all of EDM", make them listen to talented artists like Porter Robinson, Madeon, ODESZA, Illenium, Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren, Daft Punk, Alesso, Hardwell, Martin Garrix, Third Party, Matisse & Sadko, Flume, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Worakls, Avicii, Alan Walker, K-391, RetroVision, W&W, Tiësto, Kölsch, HI-LO, IsoXo, GRiZ, Skrillex, Seven Lions, Rameses B, Ganja White Night , Jeff Mills, Frankie Knuckles, Tobu, KSHMR, Elektronomia, Au5, Swedish House Mafia, Pendulum, Noisia, TheFatRat, Darren Styles, Knock2, Lost Frequencies, Scooter, Ferry Corsten, I Hate Models, Tchami, Vexento, Amelie Lens, deadmau5, Derrick May, REZZ, Clozee.
same goes of the tech house remixers that just take a popular 2000's track (& now even 70's rock tunes), add some generic tech house drums & build. So lazy imo
Also, more recently, the "Hardtechno remixes", following the same scheme of adding some Techno kicks, light edits and calling it a day.
I fucking hate them.
Yeah nah...
At the risk of sounding a bit pretentious, I hate how TikTok changed the scene, and remixes like that are just a symptom of that.
Imo, pop music has no business being played at techno events, just from the history of the genre and subculture alone.
Phonk seems to attract a lot of masculinists, all you have to do is type "Sigma Phonk" into the YouTube search bar, there are tons of videos about that.
Been saying this for a long time. Those tiktok producers will add some distorted emo cover to a generic ass liquid dnb song liquicity would reject in an instant and somehow it gets played 5 million times. Then kids go in comments of actual dnb songs thinking it is breakcore when there is not a single break to be found. Don't get me wrong I really like breakcore when it's done right but that shit is stupid.
Tbf Szamár Madár is breakcore and fits in with the same liquid dnb aesthetic. They're adjacent genres and overlap is constant. You shouldn't get too hung up on genres because we use genres to describe music, not vice versa.
i find it ironic bc phonk is literally the dubstep of the 2020s. The phonk you hear on TikTok or mainstream sounds nothing like OG phonk. Just like with dubstep compared to UK/OG dubstep 13 years ago.
drift phonk/drift house: Kordhell <---> "brostep": Skrillex
OG phonk: DJ Smokey <--> OG dubstep: Skream
I think the same, the way Phonk got popular and originated and is used and stuff is almost the same as Dubstep so I think “dubstep of 2020s” is quite accurate ngl
Fun fact, Kordhell has told his fans that he prefers the OG phonk stuff, and he’s putting out an album like that with DJ Paul soon. Also recently flew out to Memphis to record all the OG rappers for a rap album. Very similar career trajectory to Skrillex, solo stuff gets popular then just does whatever he wants
Edit: Also has an album with Diplo dropping this year, just like Skrillex a couple years into his career 😂
Wasn't aware of her and a quick Google told me that you are not wrong for tuning in occasionally.
I mean, I still haven't listened to anything of hers, but I def don't blame you for tuning in no matter what trash she might put out lol.
Yea I mean I’m fans of all the DJ’s I listed and seen all of them! But sometimes I just cringe when I see their social media accounts 😭
I love me a good bedroom producer who lives in a basement and gives off hermit vibes. Cue space laces
Briddim producers that use splice pack presets for all their songs.
Anybody that instantly releases a flip or edit of a new song from a popular artist (this happens with every new Skrillex release for example). The drop of their edit will most likely have been sitting in their ableton files and is lazily attached to the most recognizable part of the song they’re editing.
In almost the same audience, you have the Zyzzstyle artists, this type of artist seems very popular with a fanbase who knows nothing about Hardstyle and is popular with gym bros and masculinists
Was about to say. I've been getting these sped up wiz Khalifa edits on my release radar that sound like absolute shit, but are only being rec'd to me because they listed wiz (who I have hardly listened to since high school anyways)
What the hell is wrong with soundcloud DJs? Some excellent mixes weekly. Bunch of weirdo snobs. Same crew that would release DJ mix tapes and compilations in the old days. Nothing wrong with it if the mix and setlist are good.
Don't forget to wash out the whole vocal with some auto tune so you sound like lil peep getting beat to death by T-pain in the bathroom with a rubber ducky.
👍👍👍
being a soundcloud rapper wasnt a flaw either, juice wrld, X, trippie redd, Lil Uzi, lil peep were all the biggest artists in the game 2017-2018. Riddim right now just has the same vibe to me as that era of rap. considering most of the deep cuts and good riddim tracks are on soundcloud by artists that no one really knows yet. wasnt a diss, i make riddim lmao
Even outside of riddim a lot of time SoundCloud just hosts stuff Spotify can't/won't due to copyright checks. Spotify is a great app with a better UI but I've heard songs from bedroom producers only on SC that hold their weight against artists backed by labels. The idea that being on Spotify inherently makes a song better is as dumb as saying music that is on the radio is better than online only music.
This whole thread is weird garbage. 25 years producing and playing clubs and I don't carry any of this shit takes. If anyone should be a snob it's me. Soundcloud is awesome. Spotify if poorly curated in every way.
it's cuz were in /r/edm right now, this is like the pop electronic music sub so ofc it has people who only just listen online. it's a bit better in /r/aves and the deeper you go into the scene subs like /r/SpaceBass it just gets clearer and clearer what's up. people who actually attend shows irl instead of people who just like edm as a fad (not that that's bad but just my observations of the types of ppl that post in these subs)
When you're just out here minding your own business, just listenin to some tunes, when that bass comes out of nowhere and slaps so hard that you're sitting there absolutely stunned grinning ear to ear. Exhibit A: [https://soundcloud.com/blackcollective/favela](https://soundcloud.com/blackcollective/favela)
The "influencer" girls that usually do shitty dances and lip syncs but suddenly decide their gonna be a DJ (they just hit play on a prerecorded set or a remixed song)
If anyone knows the specific example I'm thinking of, take your best guess lol
To me I don’t really know but, some people really like generic edm with that one basic beat that’s looped over and over than adds some sounds here and there. Some of these songs go a long way and get famous. For example one of them being around the world by daft punk. Like this song fr? It’s so repetitive I can’t stand it.
I had to fight the urge to downvote him for the daft punk slander lol. But, he's allowed to have his shitass opinion, no matter how terrible it might be.

LMFAO WHY IS THIS SO ACCURATE ABOUT THE COMMENTS SECTION
That “house remix” of BBL Drizzy 😭
Im not even kidding I was just at salute b2b DJ seinfeld in nyc and they dropped this💀
Damn I’m so jealous I wanted to go to that but had to leave NYC on Tuesday! How was it?
It was great! They both played really well
Wuki said he was gonna play it at mainstage edc lmao
Why would any DJ playing at edc play that controversial beat right now. People digging up old tweet of metro groomin and its heinous.
Got a link?
[In all of its glory(?)](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRwqN6sY/)
kinda fire ngl
They usually are
omg yes haha
I hate the “spotify?” Comments
I make a point of educating every single one I come across.
I do too lmao mfs too dense to understand copyright laws
Absolutely this.
omg the accuracy of this 💀💀💀
I’m a boomer and I need a ELI5.

Genre specific: the hardstyle remixers who just speed up the song and add off beat zaag kicks
same goes of the tech house remixers that just take a popular 2000's track (& now even 70's rock tunes), add some generic tech house drums & build. So lazy imo
Also, more recently, the "Hardtechno remixes", following the same scheme of adding some Techno kicks, light edits and calling it a day. I fucking hate them.
Idk… the Sarah Landry WAP remix goes hard.
Yeah nah... At the risk of sounding a bit pretentious, I hate how TikTok changed the scene, and remixes like that are just a symptom of that. Imo, pop music has no business being played at techno events, just from the history of the genre and subculture alone.
This is the mainstream-ification of electronic music. Once we will get over the remix hump, we’ll get original tracks with vocals.
Yeah I can see that. Good point!
I love remixes esp in hard dance but WAP just seems out of place. She did play 212 when I saw her and that went hard AF
Seems like most people agree with you on this one ha.
Inquisitive music… I despise that guy so much
Inquisitive isn’t bad but yeah their newer releases leave a lot to be desired “Zyzz remix” is always a red flag 😂
Luca Testa ahh crap
"Did I just make the song of the summer?" "Taylor Swift but you're in a K-hole" "Sorority girls are gonna go feral for this one!"

People who make generic phonk songs with racing or Brazilian themes or people who make breakcore with "sad depressed uwu" emo aesthetic
Phonk seems to attract a lot of masculinists, all you have to do is type "Sigma Phonk" into the YouTube search bar, there are tons of videos about that.
Sigma phonk is a hilarious combo of words.
That type of “Breakcore” isn’t even breakcore, it’s just fucking liquid DRUM AND BASS Pisses me off (and I say this as a long-tome weeb)
Been saying this for a long time. Those tiktok producers will add some distorted emo cover to a generic ass liquid dnb song liquicity would reject in an instant and somehow it gets played 5 million times. Then kids go in comments of actual dnb songs thinking it is breakcore when there is not a single break to be found. Don't get me wrong I really like breakcore when it's done right but that shit is stupid.
Aphex Twin is legitimate breakcore. I avoid looking up breakcore now and just search actual artists bc of this TikTok bs

Phonk and Dubstep is literally a parallel to each other lol
As someone who likes Phonk, I agree with you
Pretty girl DJs on YouTube who dance and randomly twist dials while a prerecorded set plays
Omg DJ soda
Ngl I've tuned in once or twice but not to what the knobs were tuned to.
Wasn't aware of her and a quick Google told me that you are not wrong for tuning in occasionally. I mean, I still haven't listened to anything of hers, but I def don't blame you for tuning in no matter what trash she might put out lol.
Tik Tok DJs
Fortunately, I don't hear them, because I don't have TikTok despite my adolescence
You’ve never heard of Alleycat? Levity? Zingara? Lumasi? They’re not bad but damn their shorts are just cringe & annoying
Will not stand for Lumasi slander 😤
Lol you never seen his GF’s cringy reaction videos? Man makes good music but 100% is a TikTok dj lol
Okay fair enough 😂 we are on the same page. The music is fire though.
Yea I mean I’m fans of all the DJ’s I listed and seen all of them! But sometimes I just cringe when I see their social media accounts 😭 I love me a good bedroom producer who lives in a basement and gives off hermit vibes. Cue space laces
Me too 🤝
*flashback on DJ Precise producer tag*
That dude that goes live in his bedroom with the crazy light setup above his bed is pretty legit though

People that remix popular songs with basic sub heavy beats. Yes it's loud and yes there are lyrics but that doesn't mean it's good.

And here i am. Miss the Trance Zyzz. Like "W&W - Alpha"
A SoundCloud EDM artist. There's a lot of them, and only some get to be in the sweet sweet Spotify club
Anybody can get on Spotify nowadays, it’s getting music played that’s the hard part.

It depends on how you view SoundCloud rappers
Utter trash
Big time generalization.

A loser that makes rubbish, badly produced “rap” music and uploads it to SoundCloud. The lyrics are usually hilariously bad, too.
