I would think part of it was because of Warp's Artificial Intelligence
compilation series, as that was the kind of music that this list was
talking about, way back in 92/93 when it was started.

It's too late. The name is definitely associated with the genre (at
least in the states, in the UK it's still kosher to say 'electronica' to
describe non-house/trance music), and has been referenced in numerous
magazines, reviews, etc. It's here to stay, for better or for worse.

is this music repetitious and hypnotic? if so, this might fall under
minimalism instead. The only way i can see around this is if the music
is written with the intent of hypnotizing you or easing you into a
trance state.
