Subsequently, in the new millennium, the popularity of EDM increased globally, particularly in the United States and Australia. There was also a perceived association between EDM and drug culture, which led governments at state and city levels to enact laws and policies intended to halt the spread of rave culture.
In the United States, however, acceptance of rave culture was not universal outside of regional scenes in New York City, Florida, the Midwest, and California although both electro and Chicago house music were influential both in Europe and the United States, mainstream media outlets and the record industry remained openly hostile to it. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, following the emergence of raving, pirate radio, Part圜rews, underground festivals and an upsurge of interest in club culture, EDM achieved widespread mainstream popularity in Europe. EDM producers also perform their music live in a concert or festival setting in what is sometimes called a live PA. It is generally produced for playback by DJs who create seamless selections of tracks, called a DJ mix, by segueing from one recording to another. Electronic dance music ( EDM), also known as dance music, club music, or simply dance, is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres made largely for nightclubs, raves, and festivals.
