What do you think is keeping electronic music and its many sub-genres from being perceived as "legitimate" music by most people, like rock or R%26amp;B? Is it because old habits die hard, because a lot of it really isn't that good, or for other reasons entirely? Personally, I hear a lot of pop music that's in the public eye (ear?) which has a lot less going for it than some amazing electronic music I've come across. So what's with the stigma?|||Simple my friend its because we live in the United States and it didn't start in the US.
European countrys view electronic music as a very legitimate form of music because it mostly originated there and is very popular there too.
Also accepted/popular EDM in the US is often very mainstream like
ex:
Paul Oakenfolds new albums featuring R%26amp;B/Rock artists :(
its a sad reality.|||Rock is built on electronics, so there's at least a partial internal contradiction in your question. If I get the jist of what you mean, though, a lot of electronica is re-editing of previously written music, and it does so on purpose. This doesn't make it less legitimate, but it does limit the esteem with which it's held, just as a lot of rock and roll can be criticized for using the same repetitive C Am F G chord structure. Only 12-bar blues can really get away with a really set structure, but there is real legitimacy with a decrescendo to pianissimo in sales.
