Electronic Music in Pop Culture

There is no doubt that in the past five years electronic music has taken over pop music.  You can hear it in anywhere from rock music to rap.  Most pop songs now even have a drop, which is the climax an electronic music track.  You can see music videos from popular DJs and producers, which was not heard of five years ago, on MuchMusic.  

On the radio you can hear electronic music no matter what time of day it is.  You used to only be able to hear it after midnight. There are daily shows on the radio that have DJs mix electronic music for an hour without commercials.  For example, Z103.5 has The Drive at Five with their resident DJs: Dj Danny D and The Hammer.  Z103.5 also gets themselves involved with almost all the the music festivals in the Toronto area.  They always have their own tent where they sell shirts, play music, and host contests.  Now with this takeover how much longer do you think electronic music will be a part of pop culture?
