Electronic music is a loose term for music created using electronic instruments. Any sound produced by the means of an electrical signal may reasonably be called electronic, but as a category of criticism and marketing, electronic music refers to music produced largely by electronic components, such as electronic keyboards, synthesizers drum machines etc.
Eurodance (sometimes referred to as Euro-NRG) is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the late 1980s in Europe. It combines many elements of rap , techno and Eurodisco . [ 2 ] This genre of music is heavily influenced by the use of rich vocals, sometimes with rapped verses.
As the genre evolved, computers and sampling replaced drum machines in electronic music, and are now used by the majority of electro producers. It is important to note, that although the electro of the 1980s and contemporary electro (electronic dance music) both grew out of the dissolution of disco, they are now different genres.
Vaporwave is a hyper-specific subgenre, or "microgenre", [38] that is both a form of electronic music and an art style, although it is sometimes suggested to be primarily a visual medium. [39] The genre is defined largely by its surrounding subculture, [40] with its music inextricable from its visual accoutrements. [39]
