> sometimes people forget electronic music is not a genre, just a medium
I was ready to prepare a reply asking you how one could possibly put electronic into a single category until I saw this very important bit. Spot on. In my opinion electronic music isn't in conflict with other musical directions at all. I'd like to think of it as a superset - just pick your preference and you'll surely find it somewhere in electronic music.

Indeed. As an avid music enthusiast and collector I'm enjoying discovering great records, old and new, more than ever. Whether it's browsing Discogs or Bandcamp, to me it feels like a golden age for music discovery, which surely needs a lot of filtering and willingness to dig deeper, but it isn't any less rewarding than it has been in those good old days.
