Using terms to categorize music is only good in a superficial sense.

Back in 1978 pretty much anything that was independently released
simple in structure and was not what was on the charts was called Punk
by those of us buying the huge outcry of weirdness that was pouring
fourth.

Was it all technically Punk? No but it was a simple was of saying that
you didn't like ABBA. People in retrospect throw around terms like No
Wave which was really called "Art Rock" (not to be confused with what
Roxy Music had done)

Electronic music has had to endure so much shit because it for a very
long time it could be academic experiments, Krautrock, New Age, Dance,
or Moogsploitation, all depending on who one thought of. 

As technology exploded and got into everyone's hands multiple genres
burst out, birthed others and kept mutating. It's no longer about
whether you like German sequencer Disco, tape collage or Devo. The
details have become much more intricate.

Terms are only really efficient if you are trying to explain something
you heard to someone else and you need to touch upon "facts" and
assumptions of style.

Remember that electronic music could be many things.
