electronica
Last updated:
Description
Electronica is an umbrella term for electronic music designed for listening rather than dancing, emerging from 1990s experimental club culture. The genre blends synthesizers, drum machines, and samples to create atmospheric, often downtempo soundscapes that range from ambient to glitchy. It emphasizes innovation and artistic expression over conventional song structures.
