A little history for folks seeing this for the first time: Ishkur has been publishing and updating this for over 25 years.

Truly one of the best artifacts of "the old internet". This gives me nostalgia. So many late nights as a teenager learning about the music I loved that seemed so inaccessible where I grew up. Thank you, Ishkur.

It's also by now subjectively very "historical." It's possible that if you continued the chart until 2025, the task of documenting all of the sub-genres would be infeasible. Electronic music has exploded in variety since 2010.

A random walk through something like this can be more helpful these days: https://www.music-map.com/ (found on HN last year)

Has it really though? Genuinely asking.. I’ve checked out a lot since 2010 or so but not sure I hear anything wildly different, vaporwave and sorta meme music was quite fresh but other than that im not sure.. maybe its just part of getting old and having less time to hunt around.

Interesting that "Aphex Twin" is about 2x closer to "Boards of Canada" than "Richard D. James". Nevertheless, great resource! I expect to kill more than a few hours here lol.

That is a great map, that would be even greater if one could listen to each entry immediately, hard for legal reasons obviously, but maybe I can hack something quick together tomorrow, so spotify plays me whatever I click on the map..

Not sure how helpful malicious popups are to this conversation.

What a blast from the past! And, yeah, it looked much different 20 years ago. It was all Flash.
