Electronic music styles are classified into House, Techno, Trance, Dubstep, DrumandBass, UKGarage, HardDance, HardDance, Moombahton, Breakbeat and Downstep, etc. Electronic music is music produced using electronic instruments and electronic music technology; musicians who create or perform this type of music are called electronic musicians. In general, a distinction can be made between sounds produced using electromechanical techniques and those produced using electronic techniques. Equipment that uses electronic machinery to produce sound includes telephonic harmoniums, Hanmen-style electric organs, and electric guitars; while purely electronic sound-producing equipment includes theremins, sound synthesizers, and computers.

Electronic music was once almost entirely associated with Western, especially European, art music. However, since the late 1960s, Moore's Law has created affordable music technology, which means the use of electronic means to produce music. It has become more and more popular and developed in popular fields in different countries and regions. Today's electronic music encompasses a variety and ranges from experimental art music to popular forms such as electronic dance music.
