I've noticed people here enjoy electronic music. I, like many of you, do as well. ITT we will be talking about it. Listed below are some important subgenres.
IDMIDM stands for intelligent dance music. Some important acts in the genre include Aphex Twin, Autechre (pictured at the top of thread), Boards of Canada, Squarepusher and Venetian Snares. It's a pretty complex genre of electronic music.
Squarepusher - Vic AcidAutechre - DaelAphex Twin - Window LickerTechnoTechno is a genre of electronic music that emerged out of Detroit Michigan. It is mainly a blend of early electronic music with soul, jazz etc. I don't really listen to it that much so that's really all I can say.
Hardfloor - Acperience 1IndustrialIndustrial is a type of electronic music that is generally very harsh sounding. Many fusion genres exist, such as industrial rock, metal and electro-industrial.
Coil - The brown town StaircaseSkinny Puppy - TestureNine Inch Nails - Mr. Self Destruct Many industrial purists don't consider NIN real industrial but I do.
HouseEveryone knows what House is.
Daft Punk - Prime Time of Your LifeJustice - DVNOI don't listen to much house which is why I posted entry level stuff.
Drum 'n' BassDrum 'n' Bass is characterized by fast breakbeats and heavy basslines. One of my favorite types of electronic music.

Skream - Hedd BangerBurial - ArchangelJames Blake - The Wilhelm Scream forget Yeah I just posted James Blake.
Digital Mystikz - HauntedAmbientAmbient music doesn't have to be restricted to electronic music, but a lot of it is. It's generally slow and a lot of people regard it as background music. I have found out if you take the time to pay attention to it it's greatly rewarding.
