How many different types of electronic music are there?

Although it contains many sub-genres, electronic music is sometimes treated as an insignificant genre. It actually gets a bit confusing as many people use the term "electronic music" to refer to the type of electronic music we hear on maps: David Guetta, Calvin Harris, etc. although it is not like that

  These are few types of electronic music :

• Electronica
• House
• Techno
• Drum and Bass
• Jungle
• Garage
• Dubstep
• Electro
• Disco
• Trance
• dance
  
• Kuduro
• Hardcore
• IDM
• Ambient
• Experimental

 Now I´m going to explain a little bit of each type:

 

Electronica :

There is a great debate about whether the electronic music subgenre exists or not. many consider it a bad invention but others can appreciate differences and support this division 

I consider it isn´t a subgenre but its a curiosity 

 

 

After this annotation we can start with the explanation

 

house 

 House music was the first form of electronic music as we know it today

 Formulated in the black neighbourhoods of Chicago in the 1980s

 was pioneered by young musicians who bought Roland TR-808s and other drum machines at pawn shops.

 House has remained popular ever since, with DJs from the genre’s heyday still playing festivals and selling out shows around the world, and classic tracks continuing to set dancefloors alight

 Subgenres include: Deep House, Acid House, Progressive House, Soulful House

 

   

my favourite song un house is :

 

 tecno  

Keeping the list chronological, techno was the second genre of electronic music to break through.

  is predominantly characterized by a repetitive and hard four on the floor beat which is generally produced for use in a continuous DJ set. 

  Originated in Germany in the early 1980s

 Subgenres include: Tech House, Minimal

 

 my favourite tecno song is:

drum and bass 

Drum and bass, also known as drum ’n’ bass and D&B, is a subgenre of electronic dance music, or EDM, known for its fast breakbeats and heavy basslines. An outgrowth of the rave music scene in the United Kingdom during the 1990s, drum and bass anchored its sound around its rhythm section while folding in samples from other musical styles and synthesizer lines.

 

As with many forms of EDM, drum and bass produced numerous subgenres before appearing to run its course, at least from a commercial standpoint, by the start of the twenty-first century. However, the original tracks, and new material in the drum and bass vein, continue to support a devoted following in the UK and abroad

 

 

my favourite song of drumm and bass is;

disco

disco, beat-driven style of popular music that was the preeminent form of dance music in the 1970s. Its name was derived from discotheque, the name for the type of dance-oriented nightclub that first appeared in the 1960s.

Initially ignored by radio, disco received its first significant exposure in deejay-based underground clubs that catered to black, gay, and Latino dancers. Deejays were a major creative force for disco, helping to establish hit songs and encouraging a focus on singles: a new subindustry of 12-inch, 45-rpm extended-play singles evolved to meet the specific needs of club deejays. The first disco qua disco hit was Gloria Gaynor’s “Never Can Say Goodbye” (1974), one of the first records mixed specifically for club play. While most of disco’s musical sources and performers were African American, the genre’s popularity transcended ethnic lines, including both interracial groups (e.g., KC and the Sunshine Band) and genre-blending ensembles (e.g., the Salsoul Orchestra)

Hardcore techno, or simply hardcore, is a style of electronic music that originated in Germany in the late 1980s, being the Netherlands where it has enjoyed the greatest cultural and social impact. It is characterized by fast tempo, distorted rhythms and samples, all of them industrial in nature, and dissonant melodies.l
