Electronic music sub-genres

The more I read about electronic music, it gets bigger and it doesn't stop. I've met many people at events and have talked to them.. their taste in electronic music is not only in trance.. I've heard of so many sub-genres I can't remember 90% of them.. but people like their music and I'd like to experience what they hear. My big plan is to experience as much electronic music as possible.. from ambient.. to house.. prog.. trance.. jungle..trip hop.. industrial whatever.. the list gets even larger.. when u get into the sub-sub-genres.. i mean.. what's Diva House? Have you heard of it? So I'd like to ask all of you a favour.. if you guys are into any other form of electronic music.. please post it here along with artists and producers that would give me an impression of what each genre.. sub-genre.. sub-sub-genre is like..

So please list even the obvious genres.. and the obvious artists/producers.. I'm sure I probably don't know them anyway.

Most of these genres u hear about are bs and dont really exist, theyre just (usually bad) descriptions of certain tunes. There arent really that many real genres. Dmatrox listed more or less all of the real genres.

Dunno, to me pretty much all trance is emotional... and "emotional" doesn't really describe a genre in any way. What's emotional to one is boring to the other.

Posted by torontotrance on Dec-26-2003 18:30:

see emotional is a word that describes another. It has been used with techno, ambient but it is still not a genre.

I know what you're thinking: Its not a sub genre because all trance is emotional in some way....but 'Emotional Trance' especially by L-Vee and M.I.K.E. is distict...go on the bonzai forums...they are very familiar with the term...

That still doesn't make it a subgenre.
