I think that since there's such a diversity in songs/sounds, then there's infinitely more diversity in sampling since you can change the sound of the sample through several means like reverse effect, reverb, speed shift, flanger, phaser...the list is endless.

I find the whole anti-electronic vibe to be ignorant tbh. It doesn't give credit to the computer or processor as an instrument as it should be considered and that attitude takes away from the passion that electronic artists have when it comes to their music. What you can accomplish with electronics is massive, but if you've only heard lame techno or Skrillex, I can see why you'd think otherwise.
That was rather long rant lol,

Since all I did throughout a large part of the 90's was listen to electronic music, it would be wrong to label me anti electronic.

Nevertheless, if your going to make electronic music learn to play the keyboard, or at least how to compose arrangements, as opposed to just twiddling with knobs and matching a beat.

So many Electronic dance songs do not have choruses or bridges because there just sampling someone else's creativity, which is why most pop artists suck these days. Just imagine how good Rihanna and Kesha would be if they had just a quarter of the musical talent that Annie Lennox has.
