It doesn't really bother me, it just shows how unpopular electronic music is compared to here. A somewhat daunting thought!

Yeah I'm gonna start telling my friends to call it EDM, the metalheads. I actually met someone who knew what Happy Hardcore was and that alone completely blew my mind ha ha.

I do think Electronic is becoming more popular in the States, half of the Pop songs today are sorta like House/Electro. It's a start at least.

When people call it techno online, I just link this to them.

that site has missed 'Dub', 'Breakbeat', and a couple of other significant Electronic sub-genres. Such as Electro and Funky Bass

I find the term EDM more annoying than techno.
