There is no easy genre. The track can be as complicated or simple as the producer(s) wants. However if you have no talent but know how to use a sequencer you can be a hip hop producer.

...produce and then what?
Make it sound good? Make it sell? Make you feel good for yourself?


The question is far from easy to answer.
Even the simplest and most common form of music can be hard to produce if you want it to be something special. If else, you need a good marketing campaign to make it work

They're all easy. Making them sound good isn't.

IMO - Hardcore is the easiest. It is so fast, overbearing, and cheesy that it almost loses all musical quality.

This is a poorly formulated question.

A better one might be: "In what genre of electronic music do the producers, on average, put the most detail or unconventional / complicated techniques for sound generation into their productions?"

And that would be IDM, most likely.

IDM, experimental or very long ambient pieces

With IDM and experimental though you can just go ballistic on your computer or whatever production stuff and just randomly bash your hands on it then throw your laptop down the stairs, record it onto a lo-fi tape and scratch it all up and people will call you a genius.
