It's pretty easy for me to understand all the different genres because I actually listen to a lot of them, but I can imagine it's fairly hard for outsiders to the scene to make sense of it all. It's gotten to the point they call everything with a 4/4 kick drum "Techno", when in reality most of it Electro House.
So, thoughts? Are there too many genres, are all these new ones like Moombacore and Jump Up useful? Or is the scene going too far?
