erotic death funk

Harder than funk, funkier than metal, sexier than funk metal.

More of a description of individual songs than a real genre, but may extend to entire albums and some artists could even be described as such.

Usually the result of a harder funk metal band bringing in a (possibly female) guest vocalist from another genre...with sexy results.

-Yo, did ya hear dat song Primus did wit' Tricky's vocalist Martina?
-Yeah, I never thought a Primus song could be sexy. It's like "erotic death funk".

EDF

Short for "Erotic Death Funk".

A type of funk metal that is harder/darker than Red Hot Chili Peppers, but funkier/sexier than System Of A Down or Slipknot.

The abbreviation implies that it's an actual genre, as opposed to using the full name "erotic death funk", which is more often used as hyperbole in reviews. Thus it is more commonly applied to bands or entire albums rather than individual songs/collaborations.

Most EDF bands actually play different genres on different songs and it's the combination that makes them "EDF". "You'll Be A Hot Dancer" by Incubus is an example of this within a single song.

-Did ya hear dat song "Cameltosis" by KoRn and Slim Kid Tre? It's not rap metal, it's not funk metal, it's like...erotic death funk.
-Yeah, dat whole disc is 13 tracks of pure EDF!
