if Trap is the worst for being party music then EDM is right down there with it
One again Trap is a sub genre of EDM. EDM is a huge umbrella of subgenres including house (deep house, tropical house), dubstep, trap, future bass, drum and bass.
Here's a chart of everything that classifies as EDM. Trap is under dub.
These days when someone says "Trap" they are 99% of the time referencing EDM Trap.

What's the point of all these lyrics? They aren't creative or fun or eloquent or revolutionary. Unlike many pop songs who feel empty, most trap mainstream music isn't even entertaining. It's like music made for 3-year old brain post-teenagers
You know what, 4 decades of electronic music in Europe wasn't about lyrics and in metal the vocals are just another instrument like the guitar, the bass, the drums,... The sound of the band/team counts.

And it doesn't matter if you don't know the lyrics. Cause it's death metal and no one will know the difference.
There are genres out there not giving a **** about lyrics. Hip hop uses exactly the same technology, production techniques,... the Europeans use for house, trance, techno,...
When white America was trying to catch up their 30 years of being behind of Europe. It's an inconvenient truth that black America embraced what the Europeans did for decades and translated it into their own language, art, music,... Actually the exchange between African America and Europeans went all the way back to late 40s Germany, where the whitest of white men asked African Americans to teach them in becoming better at playing Jazz music and the Germans let African Americans to get their first taste of classical music and in Germany it meant seeing it live in it's original form, way beyond what the white American mind could comprehend. White Americans only had access to lesser copies, nowhere near the source, the real thing and white America was so full of themselves that they believed that classical music was too holy for African American ears to hear. Well, the whitest of white men in Germany had other ideas and gave black people unprecedented access.
It's also true that American taste is the pits. In comparison to a tasteless unculinary country like the Netherlands, American (office) coffee absolutely taste worse and make the Dutch puke it out. Even in comparison to British culinary horrors, American food taste even more bland, generic and adding sugar to literally everything that would even shock the tasteless countries of Europe.
Americans in music tend to all go for the same end goal, just a little bit louder, faster, louder the same sound they believe would make it happen, it ended the diversity in nu metal and any other genre that followed. Americans simply can't comprehend, the European of way doing things differently and not giving a **** about what American labels think of them. If you give the Europeans a genre, they tend to expand it in a dozen subgenres, develop new sounds,... instead of trying to churn out more clones of the same. That's why nu-metal and Linkin Park's copies went nowhere.

Only a North American would post this. The insult of turning a newbie term used by those never initiated in electronic music, entering in an electronic music discussion.
EDM is a term only used by parents, school principals, police spokespersons,... having no clue on how to deal with something "new". Putting electronic in front of dance music, it's like mentioning the guitar in front of heavy metal, the trumpet in ska,... How can you be taken serious when your wording is a running joke on itself?
The conclusion is that if a genre is wasted by Americans churning out more of the same in extreme quantities, it isn't the fault of the genre.
