It is just a generic term to talk about electronic music without going into details about the specific sub-genres since there are so many.

Maybe so, I found the recombination much more pleasing
than the heralded 'Random Access Memory'. MUCH more.

Daft Punk re-doing Moroder (which we all 'discovered' 3++ years ago)
w/ Pharrell Fckn Williams?
C'mon...

Hope their next effort is much harder. and better.
Faster, stronger. Etc.

I feel like they were going for a timeline of EDM through the decades that's why they tapped into the past. You see it as just re-hash but I see it as a history lesson for people that aren't initially into the scene.

Some say nothing 'new' can be done, we're in the age of digression.

Or just rehashing and combining.

But, I, at least, feel the 90's IDM scene, such as it was, with new tech, brought along a whole new kind of music.
Now, it did obviously share traits, etcetc, but...'new' enough to really separate it. (<~~my banter)

Since then, I've heard a few new changes in EDM that, I thought, warranted a 'WOW'.

OffMeNut, Hyperdub, etc. Planet Mu.

But, from some band with as much talent as 'DP', I really expected something more.

Trust me, I really wanted to like the album.
It just seemed boring. And, including modern pop stars just...makes me
think they're comparing Italio-Disco with Modern pop ****. Fitting. But, essentially, 'daft.'

that's fine If you didn't like it or found it boring. Like I mentioned earlier even DP knew that not everyone would like it especially certain DP fans.
