Edm

Tom likes EDM.

There are lots of different genres of music out there — for example, EDM or J-pop.

On Tuesday, the SNP lodged an early-day motion (EDM) to formally remove Prince Andrew’s title as Duke of York, which he has said he will no longer use. […] EDMs rarely have any effect apart from generating publicity for a cause, but if a significant number of cross-party names were to sign the SNP motion it would act as a method for piling pressure on the government.

But musical ancestry aside, the influence to which [Justin] Bieber is most beholden is the current trends in pop music, which means Believe is loaded up with EDM accouterments, seeking a comfortable middle ground where Bieber’s impressively refined pop-R&B croon can rub up on techno blasts and garish dubstep drops (and occasionally grind on some AutoTune, not necessarily because it needs it, but because a certain amount of robo-voice is expected these days).
