In electronic dance music, all genres sound better when played alongside other genres at shows and events. That way, the listener can see their relation to each other, how they compliment each other, and how they are made to affect the listener differently. Subgenres of EDM are all different and will affect the listener differently throughout the night and cause different emotional responses. When the listener is exposed to different genres in one night, trance music will elecit chills and goosebumps while uplifting the listener's mood, drum and bass will fill the listener with power, dubstep will twist and wobble the otherwise stable atmosphere of the event, electro has an electrifying, dizzying effect on the listener, breaks disrupt the listener's sense of rhythm and has a tendency to elicit feelings of wittiness and cockiness.
A real fan of EDM and someone who loves the entire rave scene, supports the rave scene as a whole, can see and appreciate the beauty of all the genres and see them as the many beautiful facets of our culture, rather than seeing them as a multiple choice question of which side are you on or not on. One genre could never support this entire culture. If only one genre's producers and DJs and parties are supported, then all the rest have to quit producing and DJing and promoting and have to drop out of the scene and get normal jobs. Then, when the dubstep fad subsides and everyone is off to the new hot radical little thing, so will go their producers and djs and promoters and then the scene will be empty and extinct. So in conclusion, support your local EDM DJ and all genres of electronic dance music.
