Compusician - A term created to distinguish actual groups and solo musicians that practice their instruments tirelessly for 100s to 1000s of hours to be perfect for live replication compared to those who just press play on a laptop or don't replicate 100% of their compositions live. DJs and most pop music producers are compusicians.
Compusic - Music made with and played by computers.
It is mostly done with little to no live physical performance value which usually is a cheaper, quicker, and easier alternative to music played 100% live with legitimate performance value, played live in its entirety.
Genres such as Rap/Hip-hop, EDM, Dubstep, Chillstep/Chill, and House are perfect examples of this.
While, genres that are the opposite of this (Music) are: Metal, Rock, Classical, Jazz, and Electronic music done by bands.

1. DeadMau5 said DJs (even including himself) are button pushers and don't play anything live, therefore they're compusicians, not musicians.
Fellow DJ: Wow! Thanks for blowing our cover, Joel! You asshole!
Other DJ: Hey! I use just a drum pad live and everything else is from my computer, does that still count?!
Reply to DJs: No, it's still compusic.
2. They don't play 100% of the music live, where's the performance ethics in that? Even if its a band with ambience like at least 80% minimum is still performed live, though.

Get the CompuHigh mug.Compuphilia is the sexual attraction to computers.
Hammersley and Kendick8 (2005) theorized that either of the following situations could be antecedents to compuphilia(pp. 161):
1. The compuphile develops poor self-esteem
(a) He (usually male) is very fearful of rejection by women and he desires a sexual partner who is incapable of rejecting him
2. He develops an exciting fantasy of sex with a computer, sometimes after prolonged exposure to a computer.
The authors also reported that, of their sample of 'compuphiliacs,' 68 percent were motivated by a desire for an unresisting and unrejecting partner; 21 percent by a want for union with machinery; 15 percent by sexual attraction to computers; 15 percent by a desire for comfort or to overcome feelings of isolation; and 12 percent by a desire to remedy low self-esteem by expressing power over a computer (pp. 159).

Although obtaining consent is not usually considered a prerequisite for activity with non-living material, compuphilia is considered to be taboo and frequently labelled as abuse.
