:Yes I read it. Providing an unsourced claim that UK DJs essentially invented the term "club music" and that it has this rigid definition that allows it to suprsede the descriptive phrase "electronic dance music" is not persuasive. 
 :I'm not saying "club music" doesn't exist or is an invalid term in and of itself; clearly it's not, and is widely used. I am also not disputing that you and your DJ friends use the term to refer to electronic dance music. What I object to is that you're trying to place improper restrictions on the definitions of both "club music" and "electronic dance music". Both are informal terms, for one thing. "Club music" has a definition that changes over time and from scene to scene; people do sometimes refer to more than just electronic dance music as "club music", and in the future, "club music" may not encompass electronic dance music at all. But in the future, electronic dance music will still be electronic dance music. Any claims you make about things that can change need to be phrased such that they're just as valid in the future as they are now. Temporal qualifiers are necessary. As of 2006, for example. 
 :And the genre of disco is still disco; it did not change to "dance music" or "club music". You're conflating the actual genre with the general term used to refer to the genres played in certain types of nightclubs (specifically, the ones that play recorded music) by patrons of such clubs at a certain period in music history, in certain regions of the world - currently, that term is "club music", and you're right, it used to be disco, although there weren't 27487528098709 varieties of disco, so it's not the best example. Do you see the difference, though? "Club music" and "electronic music" and "electronic dance music" are meta-genres and mean different things to different people. They're primarily descriptive phrases that are used as if they were genres, usually by people who are either ignorant of actual genre names, or who intentionally want to make a blanket reference to multiple genres. 
 :Take for example hip hop music and reggae. I assure you people in different communities use "club music" to refer to the many different forms of hip hop and reggae. But that's probably not the club music you have in mind, eh? And lots of people draw a line between those forms of music and electronic dance music. So you see, it's inappropriate to say club music and electronic dance music mean the same thing. 'Club music' mainly covers what's popular. People  might use it as if it covers what's made a certain way with certain instruments, but ultimately it's very distinct from the phrase 'electronic dance music' in that regard. 
 :You're also overlooking the fact that "club", as in "clubby" is a distinguishing factor in separating styles within genres.  0.00001% of IDM is club-friendly, but I'd wager that none of it is "clubby". Maybe that doesn't stop some larger percentage of people from lumping it under 'club music', but generally people don't consider it to be club music because they generally don't hear it played at clubs! And 99.99% of house music is club music, in a sense, but "clubby" house is only a portion of all house. I highly doubt fans of splittercore techno would call it "club music"; rather they'd probably take offense. 
 :The definition you tried to put in the electronic dance article was sorely lacking, and again made the unverifiable, dubious assertion that "electronic dance" (music) is obsolete and identical to "club music". However, what was there before wasn't much better, and I feel the article title needs to be changed to make it seem less like "electronic dance" is a genre in the sense that "house" is. I've rewritten the intro of that article to provide what I feel is a more reasonable explanation of the relationship between the terms, as well as better explaining what is meant by "electronic dance music". It's a bit wordy, much like this reply, but I wanted to address all of these points.—
