Electronic is a broad umbrella genre defined by the primary use of electronically generated or electronically processed sound. It encompasses music made with synthesizers, drum machines, samplers, computers, and studio/tape techniques, as well as electroacoustic manipulation of recorded or synthetic sources. The genre ranges from academic and experimental traditions to popular and dance-oriented forms. While its sonic palette is rooted in electricity and circuitry, its aesthetics span minimal and textural explorations, structured song forms, and beat-driven club permutations. Electronic emphasizes sound design, timbre, and studio-as-instrument practices as much as melody and harmony.

Minatory is best understood as an aesthetic-focused microgenre that foregrounds a menacing, foreboding, and ominous character. Rather than being defined by a single rhythmic template, it emphasizes mood and sound design: sub‑bass pressure, dissonant clusters, low drones, and stark percussive motifs that create a sense of impending threat. It sits at the intersection of industrial, dark ambient, horror‑film synthesizer scoring, and drone practices. Typical materials include minor and modal harmony (often Phrygian or Locrian colors), slow to mid‑tempo pulses, and richly textured noise or field recordings processed into musical beds. The result is music that feels tense, claustrophobic, and cinematic, suitable for thriller and horror contexts as well as brooding experimental listening.
