Trance is uplifting and its fills are noticeable to the genre. Here is an example of trance made now. The next type of underrated EDM is called future bass. While again this genre is quite popular, I feel the original artists are the most underrated of all. Future bass is a sub genre of trap music as it does use 808s but it also has one of those sounds that are very unique to the genre itself. Here is an example of underrated future bass. The next type of EDM that is underrated is called jackin’ house. Jackin’ house is a genre of house that came around the time that house came about in the 90s. It is hard hitting and simple. It can vary in styles depending on the artist. Here is an example of jackin’ house. The fourth type of underrated EDM is drumstep. Drumstep is a subgenre of drum & bass but has drum beats of dubstep. It is fast and heavy in bass. Here is an example. The last type of underrated EDM is called synthpop. Synthpop started in the 70s as a disco subgenre with lots of synthesizers used in it. Here is an

Music genres these days have taken a lot of influence from other genres and the pure sound in most genres has gotten lost. Sometime you listen to a song and it is not that obvious to place it in a genre. However “Hollywood Hearts” is unmistakably that pure RnB sound.

However, disco is much more than a genre- it is a whole unique culture that supports many marginalized identities. As Dyer states, ‘disco is also kinds of dancing, club, fashion, film, etc. – in a word, a certain sensibility’ (Dyer 20).

There are a variety of music genres for people to choose ranging from pop, rock, bop, techno, swing, rhythm and blues, hip hop, folk music, and many others including my personal favourite, jazz.
