Electronic
music

Electronic music is music that employs electronic musical instruments


and electronic music technology in its production, an electronic musician
being a musician who composes and/or performs such music. In general
a distinction can be made between sound produced using
electromechanical means and that produced using electronic
technology.

Examples of electromechanical sound producing devices include the


telharmonium, Hammond organ, and the electric guitar.

The first electronic devices for performing music were developed at the
end of the 19th century, and shortly afterward Italian Futurists explored
sounds that had previously not been considered musical.

the termLive PArefers to any live
performance of electronic music,
whether with laptops, synthesizers, or
other devices.

The trend has continued to the present day with modern


nightclubs worldwide regularly playing electronic dance music
(EDM). Nowadays, electronic dance music has radio
stations,websites,and publications like Mixmag dedicated solely
to the genre. Moreover, the genre has found commercial and
cultural significance in the United States and North America,
thanks to the wildly popular big room house/EDM sound that has
been incorporated into U.S. pop musicand the rise of large scale
commercial raves such as Electric Daisy Carnival, Tomorrowland
(festival) and Ultra Music Festival.

Early development and rise (earlymid 1990s)

Joel McIver acknowledged the nu metal pioneers Korn as starting the


New Wave of American Heavy Metal, which is a heavy metal music
movement that started in the 1990s.

The origins of the term nu metal are often attributed to the work of
producerRoss Robinson, who has been called "The Godfather of Nu
Metal".

In 1994, Korn releasedtheir self-titled debut album, which is widely


considered the first nu metal album.

1998 is generally recognized as the year when nu metal broke into the
mainstream with Korn's third album,Follow the Leader, which peaked at
number 1 on the Billboard 200,became a multi-platinum hit, and paved
the way for other nu metal bands.

During the 2010s, there was a discussion within media of a possible nu


metal revival because of bands fusing nu metal with other genres, the
return of nu metal bands, extant bands going back to the nu metal
genre and nu metal bands forming. Despite the lack of radio play and
popularity, some nu metal bands recaptured some of their former
popularity as they released albums in a nu metal style. Korn's 2010
studio albumKorn III: Remember Who You Aresold 63,000 copies during
its first week of release and peaked at number 2 on the Billboard 200.
