Etymology

The term 'electronica' emerged in the late 1990s as a catch-all phrase for electronic music that didn't fit into traditional genres like techno or house. It became popular with the rise of digital technology and the increasing use of computers in music production. Electronica has since evolved into a diverse and influential genre that continues to push the boundaries of electronic music.
