I like electronic music because for me, and most if not all of the artists who make it, its all about the music. When you cut out the words/lyrics, what you're left with is sound. I think the electronic format adds the most versatility when working with the bare essentials of "just sound" to create and describe moods and soundscapes of all differenty varieties.
Not that I dismiss traditional music, or instrumentation, or even songwriting...I love music of all kinds. I actually fully encourage the incorporation and experimentation of bringing traditional instrumentation into electronic music and vice versa.
In the end, you just have to trust your ear, and your soul, and go with what you like. Try to keep an open mind when hearing something new, and you never know what you might find. There is some electronic music I can't stand, and some punk music that I love. In the end, if its good, play it!
