Electronic dance music, EDM, has been on the rise for a few years, but if you’re unfamiliar with the upbeat, untraditional, and loud music genre and culture, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself here. Although most EDM listeners are under 25, the fastest growing segment of new listeners are Millennials between 25 and 34. EDM is already a $6 billion dollar industry, and as it continues to grow and go more mainstream, brands like Jeep, Ford, Red Bull, and Trident have begun to tap into EDM communities, advertising on EDM.com and SoundCloud. Though some brands may be wary of EDM’s somewhat wild rep, its massive growth as a genre and industry shouldn’t be ignored. (Adweek)
