No. Don't talk to co-workers. If they wanted to know, they'd find out themselves or ask someone.

Whenever someone says they listen to Techno, I respond "no, you don't." They argue with me, and I play some for them.

I haven't been wrong yet.

Then I tak to them about EDM and offer to teach them about it. Once or twice, someone has gotten sorta-kinda into it. But, in general, if someone above the age of 16 hasn't already decided they like dance music, they're not going to. I joked about co-workers, but if someone is old enough to be a co-worker and doesn't understand, I think it's highly unlikely that they ever will. But, I don't have faith in people.

I have been able to get people interested in EDM by introducing them to Deadmau5 first.

Deadmau5, gateway to something much better.

Eh, IDK I started listening to EDM at around 18 or 19. I used to be one of those its all techno guys, but to be far this was the 90s and I grew in the underground punk scene here in LA. But to be far i probably wasnt the hardest sell since i was already in to NIN since the old days. once i heard jungle I was sold.

I'm from the house nation and we all dance under the rhythm of one drum.

More seriously I come from a time where all 'electronic' music was called house or techno and we didn't really care about sub-genres.

Politely tell them it's not. Simply say there's all kinds of electronic dance music and techno is just one type. If they seem curious or ask questions, enlighten them. If they don't show any curiosity move on and don't present yourself as a jerk by continuing to explain something they don't care about.
