Electro-Rock/Electronic Rock

I just into Electronic Rock recently, not to be mistaken with Electronica. A friend suggested listening to Justice, and I love most of their songs.

Loving it. Any of you dudes listen to Electronic-Rock as well?

Justice is electronica, just like Daft Punk. Better examples of electronic rock would be Shiny Toy Guns, Death From Above, or Innerpartysystem. I don't listen to that much of it, but Death From Above is up there with my favorite bands, and the chick from Shiny Toy Guns gives me an erection.

Oh? I always assumed Electronica and Electronic-Rock was two entirely different things. I looked it up a bit and couldn't find an exact answer. Thanks for correcting me. I'll listen to those videos tomorrow too!

Well, the way that I look at it, "electronic-rock" doesn't even exist. There's electronic, and then there's electronica. Electronic music refers to music that emphasizes the use of electronic musical instruments (and nothing else) as a central aspect of the sound of the music.

Electronica is different. You might even say that it's "everything else". It's designed for a wide range of uses, like foreground listening, some forms of dancing, and background music for other activities; but unlike electronic dance music, it is not specifically made for dancing. You know how pop has subgenres, like dance-pop, piano-pop, etc? Electronica is just a subgenre of electronic music.

Never knew you were so musically-inclined. Thanks for the explanation, seriously. Also, yes, I did know ELectronica is a subgenre. I just heard of Electronic-Rock recently and did my fair-share of searching on Google, and a lot of people said Justice is considered to be "Electronic Rock". Nothing about them being Electronica, so I assumed the previous. Hmm.
