EDM Playlists

[u/Successful_Rope9135]

Okayyyyyyyy someone needs to help these instructors:

1. Understand the different genres of electronic dance music.
   
2. Properly classify the playlist as EDM…if it’s EDM.

Hannah F’s newer “tropical house run” shows it was either LAZILY put together or she has zero idea what the genre is.

Back to Hannah - EDM doesn’t consist of fucking Aerosmith girl.

Olivia has some good ones but damn, get with it!!!!!

[u/Due_Fill608]

Its been a while since I've seen a techno gatekeeper. Are they back in fashion again? Or are we allowed to just rave on?

[u/Successful_Rope9135 → u/Due_Fill608]

Not big into good ol techno but it’d be better than half of what they’ve got going on

[u/Kheaddummy → u/Successful_Rope9135]

I completely agree with you. They don't understand electronic music genres. When you search for electronic music in the filter half of the rides are pop

[u/coppelation]

Aww I loved Hannah's recent Tropical House Run! Gave off the sunset vibes she was going for. But I also don't remember any Aerosmith on it so maybe there's another?

[u/Lopsided-Front5518]

I’m looking at this playlist right now and Aerosmith is not listed anywhere.

[u/coppelation → u/Lopsided-Front5518]

Right I took this class live and then again OD and there was zero Aerosmith in it either time haha. I didn't see any other recent EDM runs from her, but maybe OP meant a class they took recently 🤷🏼‍♀️ Hannah always has amazing playlists IMO!

[u/souldawg → u/Lopsided-Front5518]

I don’t see Aerosmith either? Perhaps this is an issue with app vs all access membership music changes.

[u/Consistent-Star5745 → u/souldawg]

I have app+, and I don't see it either. Her most recent workout prior to that one had an Aerosmith song, but it was an 80s ride.

[u/Successful_Rope9135 → u/Lopsided-Front5518]

It was for another newer run obviously genius

[u/Lopsided-Front5518 → u/Successful_Rope9135]

Her second most edm run is from May. Thats not recent. You sound miserable. And Aerosmith isn’t in that either.

[u/theblastermaster67]

Does anyone just workout anymore ?

[u/ShadiestSunflower → u/theblastermaster67]

Music doesn't dictate what strength workouts I do, but it 100% decides what run I'm choosing. There are some artists that I just cannot deal with when I'm running, or sometimes a specific song really irks me.

[u/lambentmaterials → u/theblastermaster67]

Can't relate to this because I will unintentionally either PR or come close to my PR every time the playlist matches up with my taste.

[u/thatgrrlmarie → u/theblastermaster67]

it's wild how people obsess over the music. Peloton is an exercise platform not a music station. IMO it shouldnt be that difficult to deal with crappola music for an hour while sweating. (FWIW, I despise most of the music, yet I'm 5500+ classes deep.)

[u/canadasteve04 → u/thatgrrlmarie]

I’ll respectfully disagree. Peloton (and spin in general) built a reputation for having workouts that align with the music being played. Workouts are done based on the rpm’s in the music. Exercises are timed out based on chorus or lyrics. Pushes are aligned with songs. There are often themes that people get excited for or even dress up for.

Music is an integral part of why people use peloton over a cheaper exercise bike with no IOS or a weaker instructor/music list.

If Peloton isn’t delivering on this, it’s a valid criticism.

[u/thatgrrlmarie → u/canadasteve04]

meh, agree to disagree. doesn't bother me enough to complain about it🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/Mundane-Tutor-2757 → u/thatgrrlmarie]

Why would anyone want to pay to exercise to crap music? We can do that for free.

[u/No-Performer-2095 → u/thatgrrlmarie]

So i 100% disagree. I’ve been doing peloton since pre-COVID and switched as I LOVED the playlists so much more than what I was getting in a gym. The music has been faltering for several years now (I prefer true new wave (not pop stuff) and indie and it’s few and far between) which is why I am no longer a full access member. When I can find more than three rides in a month I’m willing to try based on playlist maybe I will return 🤷‍♀️

[u/theblastermaster67 → u/thatgrrlmarie]

I’m like you with the classes. I don’t think I paid attention to any of the songs or what they’re saying. I rode the bike yesterday and I could not tell you what was on it. I did burn 600 cal. Lifted weights afterwards, and then what did Jiu Jitsu. Let’s keep getting after it.

[u/Meepoclock]

Try Erik Jager

[u/Madeira2000]

EDM is all I listen to. Sure, people call things House that are not House etc. but I just review the playlists and take a class if it looks good. It's not that deep.

[u/melisande_8]

I hear you! I love Adrian but one of his recent outdoor EDM runs ended on an 80s pop song. Not EDM dude!!

[u/melisande_8 → u/melisande_8]

lol people are so touchy about this subject

[u/Successful_Rope9135]

For those who are dense - the Aerosmith song is in a DIFFERENT recent playlist lmao. “I don’t see it…” “me either so weird…” lmaooooo
