Key concepts in popular music, 1998 (dance music came to be used in a general sense for those popular music genres capable of being danced to; more specifically, in the 1990s, "dance" has become associated with dance club scenes and various styles of dance-music) Wikipedia, May 8, 2015 (Electronic dance music (also known as EDM, dance music, club music, or simply dance) is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres produced primarily for nightclubs, raves, and festivals. EDM is generally used in the context of a live DJ mix where the DJ creates a seamless selection of tracks by segueing from one recording to the next. The "electronic dance music" and the initialism "EDM" was adopted by the U.S. music industry and music press as a buzzword to describe the increasingly commercial American electronic music scene that developed in the 2000s. In this context, EDM does not refer to a specific genre, but serves as an umbrella term for several genres like house, dubstep, techno, trance, and trap.) Yenigun, S.

EDM is short for electronic dance music, which could conceivably describe any music with a beat made on a machine. But in practice it describes something more specific. ... [The term has] been adopted mainly by an American audience to apply to big tent electro-house, American dubstep and things like this. ... as the ever-shifting vernacular around dance music has started to congeal, some sort of consensus has formed around its definition: EDM is a pop-driven, mostly high-energy, commercial strain of dance music.)
