It should be noted that, though some artists define their sound by one of these genres alone, it is far from uncommon for an artist's style or even a single track to incorporate two or more of these styles. Many of these styles define variations that are so subtle as to be almost perceptually nonexistent. Some of the differences may not lie in the content of the track itself, but in the artist's background or the area in which it is produced or heard. It is nearly impossible to guess with perfect accuracy which of these single styles any given track may fall under. Contemporary electronic music includes many different styles or musical genres, such as:
- Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music (A guide presenting 180 genres and sub-genres of electronic music, including audio samples of each)
- vagabondage: genres (Humour: Generates new names of electronic music genres)
- Genrerator (A little bit like above, but in Finnish)
