MGMT is more indie/electronic/post rock/etc...
If you haven't heard trance, house, breaks, drum & bass, garage, electronica (WHICH IS A SUB GENRE, NOT AN UMBRELLA TERM) hardcore, ambient, IDM, etc.. then you should listen and notice the vast difference between what you're referring to as general EDM and the shit that just happens to have electronic instruments in its compositions.
This. MGMT is indie electronic at best, but really just pop. Pop bands in the 80s weren't called electronic simply because they used synths.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
