its funny watching this whole EDM debate from outside the US.. put it this way, i dont think there is even a club here in Berlin which plays anything close to to EDM.. the dubstep scene is pretty small, but EDM itself.. nup..
Techno on the other hand.. alive and well..

To harken back to the question raised as the thread title: Yes, it probably is, it was as soon as it was snapped off the main body of dance music and given its own little title. Such titles have and always had, a limited and very predictable rise, fall and death. After it, the people making good quality music are still doing so - usually the same small, typically non-famous (with a few Weatherall-like exceptions), grinding away at the peripheries of what's possible with the newest equipment, and accidents of performances and spaces and crowds generate waves of popularities which meet and cancel or meet and reinforce. Soon enough, a suitable intersection of these aesthetic weatherfronts leaps up - apparently from nowhere to the unwary eye, crests and collapses in a hail of criticism and derision and poor taste. Meanwhile the hunters have silently moved on, regrouping in the darkest corners of an unheard forest, they alone share the joys of discovering the jewels in this hidden sonic realm.
