57. "It's about as useful as ''acoustic music''..." In response to In response to 56
It only explains the methods used, not the outcome. *I* don't think that's very substantial. Of course, other wide genres definitions are not particularly useful either ("rock" anyone?) but I would still say that electronic music is as useless descriptor as it gets. "Blues" is IMO the best genre-descriptor because it pretty much makes it clear not only what type of chord-progressions, tonal language and structure it *generally* uses but also the performance style.
