Electronica includes a wide range of contemporary electronic music designed for a wide range of uses, including foreground listening, some forms of dancing, and background music for other activities. Unlike electronic dance music, which is sub-genre in the category, not all examples of electronica are necessarily made for dancing. Genres such as techno, downtempo, and ambient are among those encompassed by the umbrella term, entering the American mainstream from "alternative" or "underground" venues during the late 1990s.
Allmusic categorises electronica as a top-level genre on their main page, where they state that electronica includes danceable grooves to music for headphones and chillout areas.
Electronica has grown to influence mainstream crossover recordings. Electronic sounds began to form the basis of a wide array of popular music in the late 1970s, and became key to the mainstream pop and rock sounds of the 1980s. Since the adoption of "electronica" in the 1990s to describe more underground music with an electronic aesthetic, elements of modern electronica have been adopted by many popular artists in mainstream music.
Voodooman, chickenbone chickenbone
I can make a thunderstorm from a light rain
My ears start ringing
My nose get bloody
I feel a lil' bit of pressure on my right brain
Intermission transmission
Put me in submission
Glistening trapped in a light prison whistling
Then christ told me come closer to the light man
I went blind woke up infront of a mic stand
Voodoo man, tap-dancing in the French Quarter
Walking on water with a scroll in my hand
The bluerprints for disc shape like a vessel
That was chiselled out of metal off the coast of Japan
Fastened on the top of a mountain I went to postland
Saw a shiny object floating out of the ocean
I'm sort of like a postman
You can get the message if you want to understand
From the raps of the man
Voodoman, civilize the savage
Criticize the parish
Spreading false doctrine
terrorise the cleric
for carrying on nonsense
specialised lies to paralyse the conscience
Voodoman
Chit chatter
Abra cadabra
Spitting out matter
While i'm shitting out data
Hmm, chew em up shitting out rappers
Sipping Pelegrino while i'm giving out matches
Set yourself on fire
Let the wisdom of Elijah
Purify yah take your nigga higher
Sold your soul to the highest buyer
Now you're on a wire
You talking about 2-foot tires
Saying you sell crack
Clapping at cats with Macs
But you are liar
Pants on fire
Same old rugged cross
