I hear the term "ELECTRO" overused lately - can someone define the genre w/examples?

Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Miami is the home of the motherfucking bass
Detroit motor city is always in the place
Germany can't you see is where it all began
Kraftwerk and Bambaataa had a master plan

electro, short for electromagnetic, is a description of a type sound. people generally use it as a blanket statement that covers several genres. the sounds include, but not limited to, blips, bleeps & wobbles.
Cybortron, Hashim, Egyptian Lover, Soul Sonic Force, 80s-era Kraftwerk

The Timo Maas track is almost pure and clear Electro. That is really Electro and not a mix of different styles. Except maybe the vocals. These are not "electro" enough.
Do you now see what Electro could be?

Really I always thought Cybotron and Hashim were Freestyle and wasn't Soul Sonic Force Old School Hip Hop? The only one I agree with is the Kraftwerk suggestion.

When it was new, electro was very electronic. Biscuit-tin chippy breakbeats, keyboard melodies, robot vocoders.
What the heck is "ELECTRO"?
