History

It's safe to say that the types of dance and electronic music experienced in today's musical world is nothing like the humble beginnings of the two genres when they first began, as there have been amazing leaps in technology as well as the availability of said technology in recent decades. Dance music - not to be confused with dances such as the waltz, tango, ballet, or any other classic style of dancing - is the use of electronics in popular music that most commonly appears in venues such as clubs, raves, shows, as well as popular radio stations, but differs from electronic music as a whole. Dance music began to see a rise alongside the disco decline in the 70's, as computer based electronic music was becoming easier to integrate into popular music. Dance music is basically any kind of popular music that will get you moving and grooving and includes a plethora of subgenres underneath it. Electronic music is much easier to categorize as it is electronically manufactured and has it's own distinct and unique sound. The genre saw a massive rise in the 80's with the proliferation of technology and the rising ease of use as well as availability, and has evolved over the years to become the complex and multi-genred style that we see today.
