It does actually.
The thing that was confusing to me was that if the genre was defined by the technology used, rather than musical structure, then it seemed too wide-ranging to appeal to a particular musical taste.
However if you narrow it down to basically 'dance', then I understand it more as a genre.
I would also admit that I find it hard to take 'steeky beats' (a local derogative term for this type of music) seriously because of the seemingly typical listener - racer boys in corsas who go to Magaluf for their holidays! So this part of the forum intrigued me a little as I really hadn't realised that this was a type of music that could be taken more seriously than this.
The only music that I've really listened to and liked which seems falls under this genre is Fatboy Slim and The Chemical Brothers - maybe Faithless as well.
If you had a couple of recommendations for current artists, I'd like to listen.
Thanks for the explanation
