The process through which the dead communicate with the living through household recording devices.
My dead ex-girlfriend contacted me using Electronic Voice Phenomenon through the television while I was having sex with my new girlfriend on my king sized bed.

eclectronica

Word formed by blending the words "eclectic" and "electronica".
A genre of music characterized by trippy electronic sounds, loops and spoken words that may sound chaotic and unpleasant at first but then strangely addicting.
Examples of "eclectronica" include MC Honky, Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra, the Propellerheads and the Pizzicato Five.
Jane: Hey, did you hear the new Propellerheads CD? It's called Decksandrumsandrockandroll. I love eclectronica. It's, like, an obsession. God, I'm so weird.
Tom: Yes. Yes you are.

Electronica

A word the media came up with to refer to all forms of Electronic Music. Electronica is not a music genre. For more information, see Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music. Google it.
Neo: There is no Electronica.

electron

An electron is not a particle or a wave a such, but actually a region of space surrounding a nucleus which "has a property of 'electron-ness'". These regions of space are fixed positions around the nucleus called orbitals. There are several types of orbital, each with its own shape and corresponding bond-type. 'Electron-ness' is the quality which allows electrons to exist in a state which is defined as electrons. Circular logic? You bet!
The electron leapt up two shells, and fell again, emitting beautiful red flashes and flickers. If it had been a person, it would have wept with joy at the sight. But it was just an electron.

Electronica

A word used by the media to describe the revival of electronic music in popularity in the mid to late 1990's. Specifically, it referred to electronic music with a sound influenced by rock (with live drums instead of electronically produced percussion) and a little bit of hip-hop (mainly breaks/samples). This style, while called electronica by the mass media, became known as Big Beat (which I will use to describe "electronica" from now on in the definition) by many others, and it included subgenres such as Chemical Breaks and Funky Breaks, too. Big Beat eventually fell out of fashion, mainly its focus on breaks made it unoriginal; there were only a few dozen breaks that producers used, so it became repetitive.

However, some of the people making big beat back during it's heyday are still producing this type of music, most notably The Chemical Brothers, who won the Grammy award for best electronic/dance album in 2006 (for the album "Push The Button").
Person A: Did you listen to that new Fatboy Slim album? That was some great electronica!

Person B: It's big beat, not electronica. (Person B walks away from Person A and sighs.) Stupid media.

Examples of big beat groups: Fatboy Slim, The Chemical Brothers, The Crystal Method, The Prodigy (starting in 1997)
