Why did black people abandon house/EDM music?

[IllmaticDelta]

House picked up where disco left off in the early 80s... and yes... house was mainly created by black homosexuals in the Mid West, i.e., Chicago...

na, the majority of the house music creators were straight but the OG house dj's were gay (knuckles and ron hardy) and the techno guys were all straight

Black folk kind of abandoned house after it got hit with the “gay” connotation around the end of the early-mid 90s. House used to be played along with hip-hop in the clubs back in the day but once hip-hop became “hardcore” and thugged out no one, or anyone who wanted to make money, wanted to be associated with music that was associated with anything gay...

in he late 80's and early 90's was when hiphop and r&b both blended with house so that's why there was heavy overlap in the scenes

House is really a regional genre and never really took off outside of the mid-west and northeast... most of the people that fukk with it in the USA are from those areas.

house music/edm made it's way to california also

you haveto look at

Chicago,detroit,baltimore new jersey etc

Still variations going strong there, as far as edm is concerned

Yep was just about to mention Chicago.

 

[Originalman]

the answer is @Colin X , they never did. Black EDM was always regional (detroit, chicago, NYC-New Jersey) and that's where it mainly stayed and flourished

Yep

Yeah, a lot of this is true, at least culturally.

Though guys like Larry Heard & Marshall Jefferson weren't homos, the scene itself was very gay, and in the '80s, everybody looked pretty gay (by today's standards), but once NWA, Ice-T, Public Enemy came out and it became a necessity because of the ASTRONOMICAL murder rates in the early '90s to look and act hard, dudes weren't trying to listen to or be associated with anything as gay as house.

House strong than a mfer here in Chicago..

All you gotta do is listen to v103 or 106.3 every Friday night to see for yourself

Because we don’t hold down our culture enough.

This thread gets done every year.

And the same people pop up, posting the same videos, saying the same shyt



and then it peters out into damp squid, proving OPs point.

 

[Ake1725]

new orleans bounce and miami bass are like hybrids of edm and hiphop

Wouldn't trap be apart of that family also?
