Meme or Electro-Dance Music is a genre of electronic music that feature dissimilar dance beats and rhythms and has been used since the 1980s as a means of conveying musical messages. This music can be House, Dubstep, Pop, Hip Hop and Classic Rock. The term “meme” was first coined by The Beatles and since then it has grown into a widely recognised term for any style or type of music that features repeated beats and rhythms. It has now extended beyond music to include any written form, including graffiti, cartoons and comic strips. A recent example of an electronic dance music song, entitled Lose Yourself in the Afterlife by unreleased, contains a number of chorus lyrics and instrumental throughout the track which has led the band to be named after the song.
Meme or Electro DDR is similar to Dubstep and has grown from a worldwide following to an internationally known sub-culture. The term “meme” was first coined by The Beatles and since then it has expanded into a widely accepted term for any style or genre of music that features repeated beats and rhythms. It has become synonymous with rave music, but the original meaning of the term has always been connected to an element of dance in a popular music group or band. It is also commonly used in other areas of popular culture such as TV shows and movies. The term “meme” was first used by The Beatles and since then has expanded greatly into a highly accepted term for electronic dance music.
The growth of the internet has provided opportunities for many people to express themselves through the use of online blogs, websites and message boards. These websites and blogs allow anyone with an internet connection the chance to form their own unique online community based around something they love. Internet users love to share their feelings and have fun. A popular trend amongst the younger generation is to use electronic dance music (EDM) music at parties as a means of quickly and easily getting a crowd together. Electronic dance music is the perfect outlet for this type of social interaction because it is so easy to “spit” rapidfire tracks out of your speakers or mix tracks together using a variety of devices.
One of the most unique aspects of electronic dance music is the fact that many of the songs are played in “warp” mode – that is, there is a high degree of playfulness and whimsy in the music. This is another reason why the term “meme” has been adopted to describe certain songs. A typical viral video from one of the major EDM sites, “EDM YouTube,” shows a boy twirling in a chair while playing with a toy drum kit and singing a nonsensical song in the background. While this particular video has been lampooned by some (most notably the British comedy series “Viewing Indie”) the phrase “Meme” has transcended into a common term that is often used in electronic dance music circles to describe a well-known song title.
The growth of the online electronic dance music communities has created a new venue for viral videos. This is where the term “Meme” comes from. Someone making a video that involves multiple individuals or a group doing various things in a crowd-like atmosphere is quickly becoming known as a “meme.” In the case of EDM this means someone making a video of themselves spinning a club mix in a very entertaining way. If a song is repeated over it becomes a “meme” as that song will then be remembered by people long after the original performer has become forgotten.
The popularity of this type of music is growing at an exponential rate. This is likely due to the ease with which people can connect with others and the internet allows us to share things with others with the click of a button. Dance music has always had a large following among young people but with the ease of sharing video and photos on the internet it is now reaching a demographic of people who would not have ever thought it possible. The fact that EDM is played on the radio and heard on television has also made it popular. With all of these factors combined it is no surprise that the trend of using songs from YouTube as a focal point in an electronic dance music performance is here to stay.
Meme songs are becoming more popular than they have ever been. One reason for this could be because they are incredibly easy to embed into an electronic dance music performance. They also allow the artist who created the song to gain some sort of residual promotion for their work from their fans. The use of this strategy has seen a large increase over the past few years.
Dance music is a genre that is highly open to viral marketing. People enjoy sharing things online with their friends. Electronic dance music has been successful in this arena for several years now and looks set to continue for many more years to come. If your song can bememed, it can potentially go viral in the next few months.
