I don't think that's a bad thing per se, if the algorithm correctly identifies that you like EDM. We then come to the micro-genre discussion - how specific are you in your tastes, and how precise is the algorithm required to be?

EDM is an extremely diverse genre. Recommending music because it falls under EDM is like recommending music because guitars are used.
Fans of any genre say this. If you don't like metal then it's all loud guitars and screaming. When you do like metal there is fractal complexity of subgenres all the way down.

Except Phish fans. For them there is only Phish.
