ElecRIonics

The awesome \m/ degree bestowed to Engineering Enthusiasts @ BITS Pilani... Not only is it an Honorary Degree.. but the Batch of 2007 is the only one to to get it (Yo!)...

The batch has all kinds of people ranging from "nerds" to "ghots" to "lite-ra's" and even the "dudes" and a few gifted "damsels".. And it is therefore that a unanimous decision was arrived at to revive the Course pattern and study methodology. It includes everything right from the basics of Rocket Science to Chip manufac.. and what most of our friends proudly call VLSI (get over it guys, its dead now)..
ElecRIonics has been specifically introduced in these times of post-recession to provide opportune vistas, afterall whats there in Electronics ?
nerds- u-know-who <wink><wink>
ghots- obb GoGo, Ishaan,et al.
lite-ra's - lite
dude- GoEnka,

Sir: "WTF ?"

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)
