3. You'll find electronica/electronic/techno/EDM music in that other forum, Music Appreciation,

which I host.

The AI-generated music I ask people not to post there is that created by generative AI, which is trained on stolen intellectual property - all the copyrighted music the AI companies (Suno, Udio etc.) could grab. Quite different from the electronic music created starting decades ago. I know people who've happily used the best tech they could find over the years to make music and produce records, but not generative AI.

I'll admit I prefer drums to drum machines, blues rock to any other genre, and I hate AutoTune and pitch correction. But I thought Tangerine Dream was amazing...though not as amazing as the musicians I'd hear at my favorite blues club, and the older blues artists they'd recommend.

If you donate any amount to DU, you'll have a Star membership that will let you use Advanced Search, so you could search Music Appreciation back through 2011 for techno, EDM, etc. in thread titles or OPs. You'll see a lot more thread titles with those words in Music Appreciation than in Musicians, but this forum sees more music created by the DUer posting it.

And you can cross-post, of course.

Hope this helps...
