<p>Electronic music? Love it, hate it?</p>
<p>Techno is just a subdivision of eletronic music (iTunes classifies Techno under Dance and considers it a completely different genre). Eletronic is really an overbearing genre that incorporates experimental (like Bjork), ambient (like M83), electronica (like DJ stuff/Daft Punk/Chemical Brothers; typical pre-conceived notions of what people think is "techno"), and industrial (like The Postal Service). </p>
<p>Does it bother anyone else when people think "eletronic" means "techno."</p>
<p>Maybe it just bothers me especially because when someone asks what kind of music I like and I say electronic, they immediately think of techno and think you're some crazy party animal with a horrible taste in music. Ranting :)</p>
<p>I like electronic music but have never partied, and people give me the strangest looks when I say that because they think I’m some typical nerd who only listens to classical or some ridiculous stereotype like that (although I do enjoy classical also, :P). The Postal Service FTW, by the way. Lots of music talk throughout this board today, I’m noticing.</p>
<p>Haha the funny thing is, you can’t dance to a good portion of electronic music if you tried!</p>
<p>I like some electronic/techno like music. I really like Darude [Feel The Beat and Sandstorm]. Oh yeah and DJ Tiesto! =]</p>
<p>Personally, I dislike both.</p>
<p>Tiesto, Gigi D’Agostino, Daft Punk, and so on</p>
<p>Love most types of electronica. Eurodance, energy, trance, techno, dance. I usually donwload like 2-3 cd’s of pure techno a month. </p>
<p>Techno(not really electronica) is starting to become really popular around my hs. Everyone used to think it was gay, now people love all the school dances with techno.</p>
<p>My friend introduced me to Basshunter this year and I think it’s alright, pretty addicting beat I gotta say. I like Hammer House’s “The Jumper” too! But that’s probably it in the electronic/techno genre.</p>
<p>I like folktronica[folk elements mixed in with electronica] ala Goldfrapp.</p>
<p>Yeah, there’s definitely a difference between electronica and techno/house music.</p>
<p>Shiny Toy Guns & solo Sonny Moore =]</p>
