In the UK and europe the word electronica usually refers to a specific sub genre of electronic music
(Like the word techno which is often mistaken to mean all electronic music). Electronica is normally considered more intelligent than dance music. The music is about using technology to create unusual sounds, melodies and heavily processed drums (often in patterns where the same bar is never repeated requiring painstaking programming) These elements are crafted into an intricate and some times emotive piece of music. The results are usually closer ambient or experimental music than they are to dance music.
electronica is often elitist and the scene can come with some pretence. but there are some great electronica tracks out there.

Get the auto electrician mug.contrary to the ignorant public that only likes the godawful top 40 and rap-pop stuff, electronica is not synonamous with electronic music. there are multiple genres of electronic music (like there are genres of rock) such as trance, house, techno, jungle, hardcore etc. electronica is a genre of electronic music that encompasses "listenable" subgenres like downtempo and IDM.

Get the Electrician mug.Electronica, commonly called techno, is more or less a form of electronic/computer based dance music that is popular with younger crowds. It comes in many forms including trance, acid jazz, jungle, trip-hop, drum and bass, house, and countless other sub genres. It is more or less an evolution of 70s disco, but can arguably be traced all the way to the early 1900s. Its not known who exactly started electronica, but several DJs and artists from Detriot, Germany, France, and the UK have helped evolve the music form since the late 60s and early 70s when it first appeared to larger amounts of listeners.
