I can't see how you can include the genre `Gabba` - which presumably
falls under your sub-category of Electronica - as `mainstream`! And
I'm not sure that it really belongs in the same box as Blues or
Easy-Listening, no matter how the latter is spelt! Perhaps Jazz and
Blues can get along together - so can rap and hip-hop. I think
electronica deserves a category to itself. Where does electro-acoustic
live?
Good luck in your quest to decide whether Stockhausen goes into
Electronica, or classical, or world....
