Why is electronic music not popular in China?

Electronic music does lack correct public awareness in China. To put it bluntly, many people have a deep-rooted misunderstanding of electronic music.

It's 8102, and many people still think that DJ is a type of music, EDM is all electronic music, and electronic music is just fun. I personally don't understand where this idea comes from.

"Hi" is indeed a characteristic and atmospheric characteristic of electronic music, but it cannot cover everything about electronic music. Electronic music is also divided into many types, such as disco, house, techno, dubstep, future bass, etc., each of which

Each style has its own unique way of embodying electronic music, allowing listeners to personally feel its tempo and melody.

The above is one of them. I personally think that in addition to the public's own music appreciation level, the lack of the right people or activities to popularize it is a big reason.

Why is foreign electronic music so popular?

Not only because of foreigners’ pursuit of modern music, but also because the music festival organizers, DJs, and Raver, who is obsessed with electronic music, are all good promoters of electronic music. Looking back at the Chinese market, electronic music festivals are indeed

There are more and more DJs, but so far they are all in a niche scope, and there is no opportunity for electronic music to become popular music like in foreign countries.

In the past, there were indeed people who wanted to be the first to try something new. I don’t know if you have heard of "The Unrivaled Music Hero". It was the first program to promote electronic music. It enhanced the public’s awareness of electronic music to a certain extent.

Although the final result was not satisfactory.

"Instant Electronic Music" is about to be aired. Since it has not started broadcasting yet, we can't tell for the time being. However, many well-known electronic music people in China have gone there, and some of them are mentors (it seems that they are called managers in the program. I remember before.

Duck Man once posted on Weibo, saying that people in the electronic music circle like to use the word "manager" when introducing a label owner, a DJ MIX album, or a selected album created by an artist. This word is even more popular.

It defines the concept of DJ rather than Producer, and avoids over-promoting the participants as too authoritative. It seems that the program has done its homework). There are also contestants, divided into many genres, and everyone's style is also very diverse. The contestants

The quality is pretty good. Whether electronic music can become as popular as hip-hop depends on how the program operates. After all, in my heart, it doesn’t matter whether it’s popular or not, as long as the program is serious and promoted with care, so that the public can realize the real music.

Electronic music is enough.
