Bands can incorporate elements from both rock culture and electronic culture, no need to exclusively align with one or the other. I think the more you compare rock culture and electronic culture the more you realize the lines aren't really there at all, they never have been, all cultures feed off of each other, whether they're conscious of it or not. You can look at a band like Creedence Clearwater Revival next to Skrillex and say "yes, these are damn near polar opposites stylistically", but the longer you look the more you realize that Skrillex follows rock song structure as much as anyone else, and rock song structures evolved from blues song structures, and blues from something else. The lines are never there, music is just a massive sonic mess remixing itself over and over again. There are obviously attitudes and themes that are more prevalent in one genre than the other but you'll always be able to find commonality if you look hard enough, AC/DC and Deadmau5 aren't as different as we might think. There are no lines, it's everyone ripping off everyone else until you end up with two things that feel very different but grew from the same root.
