In one plug.dj channel
People there mainly put all songs which is non-electronic
And when I put one electronic songs...

Instant "meh" (or dislike).
Even just a first few seconds of the song.

Because 1 plug.dj room is completely representative of the entire music world

That's moreso of an issue of the people you're plug.djing with. You're assuming that everyone likes electronic music, and that if not everyone likes it, then it must be being oppressed in some way.

that'd be like if I plug.dj'd with my mom (who's into 80's music) and put on some metal. She'd skip it, but it doesn't mean it's underrated, it means that she doesn't like that

or it could be entirely possible that they just didn't like you and skipped anything you put on

I think EDM still not underrated bcuz Japanese music artist were taking the EDM genre in this time

But how about western EDM, which it still underrated than J-EDMs

Well, that's kinda right about the second paragraph and third paragraph, and first paragraph.
Some part of the electronic musics is overrated, some part of it is underrated, also applies to English pop, Japan pop and rock, Korean pop and every other genre.

But it feels really strange to see that they disliked the song on the first few seconds of the songs, literally just 0:03 and they hated it.
It's like eating a pizza crust, but not pizza toppings. (just a comparison)

I guess last paragraph is also true for me, only applies to one person though.

I hope I don't get your point wrong.

Sounds true, I've noticed that too, sometime western EDM is underrated.
But J-EDM is underrated too, not as western though.

Just some part on the community though, so can't confirm is it worldwide yet.

Electronic music is good but it's far from being underrated, more like it's everywhere and it's the "new big thing" everyone seems to like.

That's just what I've experienced.

Well... sometimes J-EDMs (either its from Touhou arranges or original mixes) are more than underrated compared than any genre. I think because these ppls out there love something faster (or fasterer) like hardcore, such J-Core and this kind are well dominating in Japan because they love a fast paced raves, meanwhile EDMs (electro house, dubstep, etc) have a stable rave, about 140-180 BPMs (?)

I think heavy dubstep ("hardcore" version of dubstep which possess drops and wobbles) also underrated too (eh? How about U1 overground's Dopamine and Warak's Reanimate)

Agree, but still, those people who doesn't listen to electronic hates it as if it is a cancer.
I know it is matter of opinion, but they seem to "react that they dislike it", more than "how much they disliked it".

I hope you know what I mean.

music taste is purely subjective, most hipsters will automatically dismiss anything that isn't in their scope of 'good music' as shit.

this has been the norm for the past century

I think I do. But I think that happens with many other genres too.

If it can be rated, it can also be underrated. All you need is a scale. Or, well, two scales, since "underrated" implies a comparison.

On topic: What are your scales? I assume that you mean something like, how "good" EDM is vs. how much attention it gets? What do you mean by underrated?

I went to this one plug.dj room that was made by people who were in the mood for non-electronic music and they didn't want to listen to this one generic wub tune I put up. Ergo, all electronic music is disliked and underrated
Not sure I follow

Eh. A lot of genres - excluding pop - these days are "underrated".
All my schoolmates listen to is pop. It's exhausting.
