Electronica is where a good portion of the real innovation in music is currently being developed, so it could potentially become the greatest genre within a few decades.

>Fact: Jay Electronica is the greatest MC alive.

>>70544159
I can't because I originally made the post because I don't know shit about electronica. But anyway, there's no way that any of those are better than even the worst of Beethoven's symphonies.

So anyway for reals without memes, what's the best piece of electronic music?

>>70544191

No it isn't. People love and respond to the feeling and passion in a performance of an instrument or singing the most. Electronica is the least human, natural genre.

>>70544264
source: your asshole
technology will keep improving and music will move along with it, and theres nothing you can do to stop it

>>70544299
So you mean electronica of the future is the best genre?, music we haven't heard yet?

>>70544299
Who says that better technology and better art are inherently related?
source: your asshole

>>70544322
yes
>>70544338
wrong
you are objectively wrong
you are incorrect
your opinion is shit
fuck you

>>70544353
How the fuck could music we haven't heard be the best genre you tool

can someone post some examples of songs/albums that are quintessentially electronica
they don't have to be good, just songs/albums that could only be classified genre-wise as "electronica"

>>70544501
''Electronica'' is an umbrella term for contemporary electronic music specifically that made for dancing to and home listening opposed to ''electronic music'' which is everything made with electronic instruments since the 1940s.

Actual genres within include techno, house, breaks, trance, UKGarage, downtempo and hip hop.

name one piece of electronic music with soul

>>70546017
All of it.

''soul'' comes from within the artist producing.

I still prefer classical.

You have to prove yourself right first. You can't just make a claim and assume it's fact without presenting us with some evidence

>>70544168
> more notes makes the music better!

>>70542552
wtf is electronica you idiot

>>70544110
wtf does that have to do with the number of notes in his melodies you chuckle fuck

>>70542552
I agree. Just take a look at the visionaries like Klaus Schulze, Pete Namlook, David Moufang, Aphex Twin and countless others.

>>70549311
>the list could go on . . .

For all of you who are curious: Electronica is not really a defined genre but it's normally a fusion of electronic genres such as ambient, idm, downtempo, breaks, house or anything like that. Electronica is for home listening and not meant for dancing; it is more contemplative and cerebral than edm.

No it isn't. Electronica is an umbrella term that encompasses a broad group of electronic-based styles such as techno, house, ambient, drum and bass, jungle, and industrial dance, among others.[1] It has been used to describe the rise of electronic music styles intended not just for dancing but also concentrated listening.[2] Unlike the classic hoover sound of electronic music, electronica incorporates strong synths, and percussion and echo effects from trance music.

Different people have different music tastes, Anon. No single type of music is objectively better than any other.

>It has been used to describe the rise of electronic music styles intended not just for dancing but also concentrated listening.
well that's what i was sort of trying to get at, that it's meant for home listening and a bit more complex. conventional techno, house, DnB, Jungle and the likes fall under EDM tho.

>>70544028

>>70549398
clueless idiot fell who for the contrarian meme

Techno today is as old as rock in 1992
House today is as old as rock in 1992
Breaks today are as old as rock in 1985

Was rock not a distinct genre by the 90s?

>>70549470

Not even being contrarian, just honest.

well sorry pal, but your wrong
