Fake or Future?: Electronic Music's Conflict With Tradition.

Freebase Dali · 11-20-2012, 04:50 PM

So is electronic music that heavily relied on analog synthesizers in the '70s part of this discussion, or are we classifying electronic music solely as music that's made on a Mac or PC? Because, if we're defining it by either of those criteria, the premise of this discussion needs to be either clarified or revised.

If we're talking about new genres offending old genres, then it's another discussion entirely.
But if we're talking about the foreseeable future of music no longer utilizing traditional means, by virtue of it becoming solely electronic, then I would categorically deny that probability given the fact that historical instruments are still in use today, in both the main and minor streams.
