I don't want to bring the discussion off topic, but I find that hard to believe. Some good electronic artists that I enjoy are Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Burial, and The Avalanches. I agree that there is a lot of crappy electronic music on the internet but I think that's true of any genre. Why do you think its the lowest tier?

I'd say the Avalanches is mostly hip hop. Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, I don't think they are any good or different that the other hundreds of artists in those genres.

So if you don't even understand that The Avalanches are an electronic music group... nevermind...

> Why do you think its the lowest tier?

I'd assume because it's easier to make.

Any fruity-loops beat artist might be convinced their tune is as good as any club topper.

I'm not sure why you'd judge a genre by its worst music.

most common. There is bad electronic all over.

Also, like a certain other genre (which I won't name in order to avoid more down-votes from offended fans), it has a habit of being mixed into other genres like a low quality spirit mixer...
