Ok, to be fair, unless you're Paul Frindle you're probably not going to call me out on this, but I have a great deal of respect for Paul, so let me clarify. Basically, anything meant to get bodies moving in a bar, club, warehouse, field, parking lot, stadium, etc. This covers everything from house, techno, and trance to drum n' bass, dubstep, hip-hop and beyond (including all the myriad sub-genres). What I do mean is music, made via electronic means, with the intent of people dancing to it.

What I don't mean is the wave of vaguely electro-house tinged, big-room, festival music that recently swept North America. That's how simple that explanation should have to be, but let me elaborate a bit, just in case. Ok, let's get a few things out of the way right off the bat: 'E.D.M.' and 'Crest Factor' are likely to be viewed as contentious terms, so let me tell you exactly what I mean by them.
