What is the artistic appeal behind electronic music?

dont just approach it as one big thing. you have spent your music listening life developing your own taste, learning how to appreciate what you like. find something specific that has a better chance of fitting into your taste, and then maybe that'll help expand it.

I think it really depends from artist to artist. An artist like Burial really conveys the organic side of the genre to me, I mean I'm quite heavily invested in it so maybe that deeper meaning comes through years of exposure?

but I mean tracks like

definitely capture certain emotions really well

Jlin has a pretty special take on footwork, with a lot more focus on experimentation with percussion than other artists in the genre. Black Origami took that style to another level, focusing almost solely on the percussive side of footwork, with an indian twist to the sound.

When you get into these more experimental bass genres a lot of the interest is in the sound, the synthesis, the concept behind it all etc. Danceability is also a big part.
It's often not about "emotional response" in the same sense as pop/rock. Of course there are experimental artists that focus on that but the emotions they handle tend to be more abstract or complex.

If you're just getting into electronic music, jlin is not the place to start. It requires that you have at least some familiarity with the styles and ideas that influence it. It's kinda like listening to Xenakis when you can't get into Mozart. Start with some deep house or something simple like that, then start exploring genres. There is an infinite amount of variety within electronic music, so you're sure to find something you like, and then you can work your way up from there.

A good starting point for you might be something like Nicolas Jaar or James Blake. They have a bit more of the traditional musical themes in their music.

But yeah, electronic music is a very large umbrella term and that stuff is far removed from stuff like this:
