"Electro" House... what would you have it called?

A frequent topic of discussion on this board, but I don't think this thread in particular has been done before. If it has, I apologize. I'm sure Nik will straighten me out, he's good with that. =)
We all know that the term "electro house" is a misnomer in that it has no real ties with the genre "electro" whatsoever, and more describes a type of grittier, clubby, buzzy bassline-driven type of house. It is also clear that this type of music is typically noticeably different than, say, progressive house. I typically think of progressive house to be more melodic and airy, though they share some similarities.
I'm just curious to those that bitch about the terminology of this sub-genre, what would you call it then? I agree that electro house is not exactly an appropriate term, but how else would you refer to it?
Unacceptable, predictable answers:
"", "Crappy Music", etc.
"Who cares what genres are called? Listen to what you want to listen to!"
"Farty House"
I'm not trying to discuss the quality of these productions, or how much you like or dislike them, or the pointlessness of genre naming. Just curious as to how you would separate this obviously different sub-genre of music without calling it electro house. |

Lol, nice.
Don't necessarily disagree; unfortunately, that would shift quite frequently. Then again, I guess the same is true for all genre names.

Just a discussion out of pure curiosity. I don't really care either way. The cool thing is, you don't have to participate in the thread. It's as easy as doing nothing! No need to thank me... I'm a giver. |

I had seen bitching about the name of the genre but not provided alternatives. So, apologies, I s'pose. |

lol.
I dunno, I don't really think of it as being "pop"-like... I more think of the commercial cheesy sunshine house mentioned in the earlier thread as being closer to that. :) |
