Is Freestyle music considered EDM?

For those that don't know, Freestyle was born in the 80's with Techno and electronic House. Dance Music made with Electronic equipment. I don't see Freestyle named anywhere online along with EDM influences. Just posting this here to see opinions.

Freestyle was the first electronic music to have radio success in the 80's then the radio trend died and it went underground. A lot of Freestyle is based on the Planet Rock kick, really from Kraftwerk.
