Electronic Dance Music
From Deviant Subculture to Culture Industry
Book • 2023
Christopher Conner's *Electronic Dance Music: From Deviant Subculture to Culture Industry* examines the evolution of EDM from its underground origins to its current status as a multi-billion dollar industry.
The book traces the subculture's transformation, analyzing how its initial values of peace, love, unity, and respect were gradually replaced by commercial interests.
Conner explores the concept of "commodified resistance," highlighting how the movement's politically dissident features were eroded as it became increasingly integrated into the mainstream.
The study uses EDM as a case study to illustrate broader themes of subcultural development and the impact of commodification on cultural movements.
The book offers valuable insights into the dynamics of subcultures and the complexities of the culture industry.
