I live in Seattle, and, at least within the city itself, electronic music is just as big as rock and hiphop. almost. but saying "electronic music" is kind of lame, because there's just as many genras of electronic music as non. EDM as a whole is maybe as big as rock, but DnB is about as big as rockabilly. House as big as hard rock. you get the point.
I don't feel like writing my essay on why americans are mostly ignorant and closed minded, but that accounts for a good portion of why EDM has not taken off here.
