Poll: What is your favorite Sub-Genre of Electronica

[Silent Anima]

I've only recently started listening to electronica (I'm actually a big metalhead lol) and I want to know what everyone's favorite style is. I only entered the basic sub-genres but if you would also post your favorite sub-genre within your favorite sub-genre. For example My favorites are J-Core, Happy Hardcore, Makina, & Gabber (cuz I can't just post one) within the Hardcore genre. There are countless genres so, like I said, the poll just covers basics.

EDIT: Drum n should obviously say Drum n' Bass but it got cut off.

EDIT 2:

Spoiler: I guess since everyone else is posting examples :)

In order it's 1.Happy Hardcore 2.Makina, 3.J-Core, 4. Gabber If anyone likes the songs download at http://ruffbeatz.com/ they have some good stuff Psytrance Hardcore and Dubstep mostly

I am a "metalhead" also. When it comes to electronic music I mostly listen to dubstep. It's like the metal of the electronica. I sometimes listen to trance, too.

Industrial, easily. It's just so awesome and heavy, you know?

Spoiler: Some good examples.

Personally I like Downtempo and acid jazz, pretty much anything really mellow:

I think the video that person made fit the song really good lol though unfortunately not the creepiest thing I've ever seen

Glitch, I dunno what is so appealing to it, I just love it.

 

[Dags90]

Am I doing it right?

I don't think I could really pick a favorite. Love me some iiO, love me some NIN, love me some Gigi D'agostino.

Hmm I've never listened to Glitch before. I don't know what any other songs sound like in that genre, or if they all sound similar to that one, but I found it very relaxing I like it. Especially now since I'm in a chill mood.

DUBSTEP

Actually, thanks to the Popcandy songpacks of Stepmania and the music in <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.272426-Off-Topic-Reviews-Suguri#10504525>Suguri, I confess myself most fond of trance.

I just had to check this thread out because I knew dubstep would be showing up.
I did like dubstep for about a month, until I was forced to listen to TWELVE HOURS of it almost non-stop. And I realized it's just a noise. A sample. A single instrument. You can't put the triangle into a bunch of songs and call it a new genre, but that's what's happened in this case.
It sounds cool and all, but so did autotune the first time someone's heard it.

Aggrotech. I just can't get enough of that Combichrist.

 

[Ambi]

Anything fast, heavy, or solid sounding, either with an atmospheric synthy sound and a melody (late 90s rave music?), or just something erratic like Skrillex or Pendulum.

Goa Trance is my personal favourite.

Juno Reactor, Infected Mushroom, that sort of stuff.

 

[Nouw]

I am disappointed at the lack of love for House in this thread

Daft Punk all the way!

I don't like music based on genre, I like it based on music. ._.

My favourite sub-genre is technical death metal!

...

What? It is a genre that requires electricity. It is electronic music. Right?

...

Fine. What category does old-school video game music belong to? I didn't see chiptunes there.

I know what you mean but genres help me personally find what type of music I want to listen to, as I can't listen to certain genres if I'm in a certain mood. Also to find stuff similar to stuff I like. I, however, do not like the elitism and genre wars that it causes though

Everything that I couldn't fit in the poll is included in other. Also, Technical Death Metal requires electricity. I don't think you can make it with grandpa's guitars. But since you said you like Tech Death can I ask you a question? Do you like Necrophagist? I've heard lots of negative things about them, also positive, but people seem pretty divided on them. I like them and all their technical wankery
