if anyone has any good laughbient recommendations, please squirt it out
laughbient = funny/humorous/laughable ambient
(as seen on iloveidm.com)

it's one thing to say: X, Y, and Z are musicians who loosely fall under the category/style of music we call A2, for purposes of casual conversation/discussion...
but it's an entirely different thing when sites invent their own genres for music i don't believe even exists. that's stupid.
unless there really is some god-awful music genre called, "Emo-tronica", in which case, i stand corrected and hope i never have the misfortune of hearing any of it.

i'm not saying that rule is always true and i'm not saying that you can't make up an idea and build music around it, that's all fine - i'm just saying, look at that list... it looks totally ridiculous and nonsensical... my question is whether these sub-genres are real and actual musicians make this sort of music, or whether somebody over at iloveidm.com sat around making up fantastical music genres.
i don't know - they could be real for all i know. either way, i don't care because i don't want to listen to any music that uses "emo" as a prefix.
i have no point.

hopefully no one understands or cares about what i just said. here is a quote from an emotronica album review that can be found by clicking the link iloveidm has provided: "Is there such a thing as emotronica? Fortunately not, and thank goodness for that, since the Inflatablemen easily transcend silly tags to deliver a ten-track debut of driving, emotive electronic pop with as many guitar hooks as there are sequencer bridges."
lol - wtf is this all about?
here's another quote from a different site: "A new term was born for this release, and that term was ' Emotronica ', a word which has caused a bit of a stir with some Struktur fans, it even turned one die hard fan to insist he wouldnt purchase any more of their music if the word continued to be used, hehe."
some label's quote: ""A.N.R." is a sampler that aims to show what is the meaning of our label's music, that said in one word is "EMOTRONICA", and throughout the 14 tracks, crossing different and unexpected genres and styles, you'll be able to understand why it's EMO and why it's TRONICA."
what i can surmise from this information is that emotronica does exist, and it's debateable what it actually sounds like. i'll never know, though, because i'm done wasting my time with this.
"All Music Guide Twoism features the same exquisitely spooky, textured emotronica
that fans will want to hear, all at as high a level as the brilliant Music Has ... "
