Wiki
Contemporary electronic music expresses both art music forms including computer music, experimental music, musique concrète, and others; and popular music forms including multiple styles of dance music such as techno, house, trance, electro, breakbeat, drum and bass, synth pop, etc.
A distinction can be made between instruments that produce sound through electromechanical means as opposed to instruments that produce sound using electronic components.
Examples of electromechanical instruments are the telharmonium, Hammond organ , and the electric guitar, whereas examples of electronic instruments are a Theremin, synthesizer, and a computer.

No it should not be 'electronica' nor 'electronic', both are fuckin meaningless words to tag a lot of artists that have nothing in common, only beacause they use synths?? lmao, then symphonic metal shold be tagged as 'electronic(a)'.

the wikipedia editors have a controverse discussion about discriminating 'electroning art music' from 'electronic music' and 'electronic dance music'. and it has been suggested not to merge 'computer music' with 'electronic music'. 'electronica' started as a commercial buzz word and not a genre, it was coined by US media to refer to the second wave of popular electronic music in the 90s (the first wave was called 'techno'), and has become an umbrella term, nobody is quite sure what it really means, who tries to define it will easily be attacked. historically, electronic music relied on electronic sound sources to produce music, which isn't necessarily the case in the 'electronica' realm.
