Electronic music is not one genre. It comes in several genres namely house,downtempo, trance, and others. Understanding this can help you distinguish the differences and similarities of all music employing electronic musical instruments and electronic technology.
Perhaps the avid Electro listeners can tell the difference between the genres. They know dark and morning psytrance, or ambient and trance.
As Mental PolyPhonic says, "Electronic music only looks balkanized if you don’t know anything about it: similar distinctions are made in rock music. Most fans of both electronic and rock get by fine without ever knowing this much terminology, but it’s helpful to people like me who are trying to talk about music."
Well, if you love electronic, you wouldn't mind all those terminologies and differences. Sometimes, you just have to flow with the music to enjoy it.
