Totally DISagree with the long-lasting point as well as with the 'electronic music has no emotion' point-of-view! It really comes down to where you get your emotion from. I get much more emotion out of electronic-based music than from ANY other genre. I also get more out of the music than out of singing for that matter. I still listen to loads of older 'IDM' and I often prefer it to a lot of current stuff (and this isn't some nostalgia sickness either). Why do people always think computer-made music contains no emotion? A guitar doesn't contain any emotion either...it's what the musician does with it and what the listener does with it, that gives it life you know.
