Hmmm... it´s a very good question. For me it´s very individual.

The Electronica/Dance/Techno/Trance/Other music I like has something in common but I can´t put my finger on what it is.
It´s a kind of euphoric music for euphoric people with ups and downs so I call it Euphorica
e.g. ups:
UW - Two Months Off, Cowgirl, KOS, Born Slippy Jam, Scribble
The Chemical Brothers - The Test
Prince - Let´s Go Crazy
Prodigy - Diesel Power
Scooter - Hyper.Hyper, Never Slow Down (their latest Hamburg live mix of Hyper Hyper/Move Your Ass is awesome)
The Crystal Method - Keep Hope Alive (There Is Hope Mix)
Leila K - Open Sesame, Got To Get
etc.

downs:
ATB - Beautiful Worlds, Luminescence
Mike Oldfield/The Orb - Sentinel (Nobel Prize Mix)
UW - River of Bass, Best Mamgu Ever, To Heal
Harmonia & Eno - Almost
J.M.Jarre - Oxygene
The Price Of Freedom - Travelling At Night
Mahler - Symphony #5
Chopin - Noctrune
Wagner - Das Rheingold (only the prelude)

...just to name a few.

And then I have another genre called Nostalgia with songs from Supermax, Pink Floyd and songs from the 80´s I grown up to/with. Talk Talk - Life's What You Make It, Robin Cock - Just Around The Corner, Toto, Mr. Mister, ZZ-top etc. not to mention all the disco hits and some blues.

So what genre do I love so dearly? World? Please help.
