There are a few things that I disagree with.

I don't agree with you trying to just cast aside EDM as being faceless and discrediting using technology as an instrument because it clearly is one in this day and age. It has been for quite some time actually. Since you are quick to cast aside EDM as an entire genre of music you also are casting aside all the differences and intracies that occur within the genre that makes me more like your Super Smash Bros example that you even realize. You don't realize it because you don't really listen to EDM too much so you can't decipher the different styles and they all end up sounding the same to you because "Boo Technology right?".

I feel like the whole black artist not having a number 1 hit has to do with how Billboard decided to change the way that certain aspects of collecting data for chart positions work.
