The Dance/Electronic Music category consistently raises discussion over the fairness of the nominations and the representation of the genre as a whole. Specifically, the Grammys have caught criticism over the general lack of representation of the EDM genre and underground artists.

Every year the Grammys roll around the underground music community I think gets a bit shafted. Not seeing bass music represented since like, scary monsters? Feels kinda wack? But I guess it can remain our lil party and ppl can tap in when they’d like. It’d jus b cool to see again
