I've noticed that a lot of the so called Hip Hop/Rap genres are tending to use more electronic music elements, techno inspired loops, beats etc.
I love electronice music because there are so many layers to the music and use sounds that are totally unique, you don't hear the some old guitar/bass guitar/drums solo musicals.
I've noticed that even a lot Metal groups use even electronic elements now a days. Look at Evanessence(not sure how to spell) they use a lot of classical instruments in their songs and call me crazy but when they are live I don't see no violin on stage. Ya it's coming from a keyboard.
That's what really ticks me off about people who diss electronic music. I think electronic music artists are really starting to pave the way for the music of tommorrow.
