Word origin

The term EDM (Electronic Dance Music) was coined in the early 1980s to describe the emerging electronic music scene that was driven by the use of synthesizers and drum machines. It gained mainstream popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s with the rise of artists like Daft Punk, The Chemical Brothers, and Fatboy Slim. Today, EDM continues to be a dominant force in the music industry, with artists constantly pushing the boundaries of electronic music production.
