CMV: More "traditional" music (vocals and instruments played in time) takes tremendously more skill than electronic music solely composed on a computer.

Right off the bat, I'll admit I have personal bias. It's my personal taste that EDM and most electronic music is pretty garbage. On that, not really open to having my mind changed. I am open to having it changed on how much skill it takes to make the music. 

As I see it, the most glaring component of making music that computer-composed music lacks, in terms of required skill, is having to play the music in the moment. That alone is a skill that takes years of practice to get right. Whether it's a single guitarist that's singing and playing, or an orchestra all having to sync up with eachother, timing is everything.

Writing music on a computer takes its own set of skills, sure. Being tech-savy isn't necessarily an easy task, and then having to write the music itself is difficult. But the "traditional" artists have to write the music (and the vocals, which much of what I've heard of electronic music lacks), and *then* they have to practice and perform it. Skills required aren't even close. 

I know not *all* electronic music is made or performed this way, thats why I made the distinction. I'm not super familiar with the genre (why would I be if I dislike it?) so I'm rather clueless as to how much of it is purely composed on a computer, and how much of it is performed live.

EDIT: really appreciate all the replies! Well, most of them anyways. I'll go through them more closely and give out deltas later today or tomorrow when I get the chance, and probably craft some more responses/ask more questions/answer some.

So the biggest issue that comes to mind is that traditional musicians and EDM composers are not mutually exclusive at all. I'd say the overlap on that venn diagram is huge.

Are you completely opposed to considering a computer with audio-engineering software to be an instrument?
