electronica

Electronica does not exist. Not as a genre or a description. It was coined by the North American music press to refer to the second wave of electronic music's explosion in the late 90s, and exists purely as a marketing buzzword, not any actual quantifiable branch of music (the first wave of electronic music, incidentally, they called 'techno', and, having driven the word into the ground beyond all sense of meaning, they couldn't keep using it if they wished to re-market the music). Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim, Prodigy's 'Fat of the Land', Chemical Brothers and other big-time stars of that period were all called "electronica" at one point or another, but the person who really popularized it in the public consciousness was Madonna and her shallow, William Orbit-produced piss-poor attempt at appropriating trance music as something she invented (Ray of Light). She used that word all the damn time in interviews. God I hate her. So yeah: There is no such thing as electronica. -Ishkur

When a new user stumbles on the FC message board, they are there for life. Often, they will inform the board of their planned departure, but inevitably return to get their fix.

FC is like electronic crack. Enter at your own risk.

electronic tagging

When your mobile (cell) phone is abused by your significant other to ask the four mobile questions:
1. Where are you?
2. Who are you with?
3. What are you doing?
4. When will you be coming home?

Oh-oh I gotta reject this call, it's my electronic tagging.
