How are humans going to survive in a modern world without electronic music? Even just one day?
First of all, let me give you a quick introduction about electronic music. Electronic music is music that employs electronic instruments and technology. It origins at the early 20 century ,but it develops so fast that it has already become an essential part of modern human’s life. And it is also used in machining of other types of music, because electrical discharged music could enrich people's emotions about life. And a fact is that most people’s life just repeats day after day. But the passion and power that is brought by electronic music makes a huge difference for everyone.
And this type of new technology stuff always develops faster than anyone could think of. Just like computer technology, they make people fascinated on them. Music used to be very simple, but it does not usually make the listeners feel the real passion of life, and the way it express the music makers' emotion is limited. The using of electronic sounds and beats becomes a great tool for music makers to express their true feeling when they write these music.
For a good electronic music maker, the greatest thing is that they could find something uncommon from the common things, and the beat they bring just strike on these "keys" of human souls.
If electronic music could be compared to something else in real life, it is going to be coffee. It may sound a little strange to compare electronic music to coffee, but they are just so alike! For anyone, the very first taste coffee is not good, because coffee’s taste is just so different from anything else. And coffee itself does not have any sweet taste. But as they drink more coffee, it starts to reveal its real self to people, which is inspiring and also a combination of happiness and passion. Obviously, it is the same for electronic music. The first time hearing these “loud electronic noises”, it really makes a person feel annoyed and disturbed. However, as time goes and more electronic music are listened, it starts to be a enjoyable process, and of course bring happiness and passion.
It is really hard to imagine a world without electronic music, just like a world without coffee, how terrible would it be?
Imagine how people walk on streets with their earphones on, seems just like what it used to be. But the problem is that there is no more electronic music. Surely other types of music are also good, but without electronic elements, the whole development of music would be pushed back to 50 years ago.
Electronic music is such an important way to release our stress and negative emotions. It has become a necessary way to balance everyone’s emotions. And there are some music that would really make people feel upset, because these songs have some negative feeling in them when they were written. One exciting thing is that electronic music could fix these problems so perfectly. One famous example is Lana Del Rey's song "Summertime Sadness". The original version make some listeners want to "die", but the reason why this song could become such a huge hit during last summer is that, with the amazing editing of the electronic sounds and beats, it became an amazing passionate song. That's how the world is changed by these electrical machining.
Obviously, losing such an important way to release our stress and bring us passion will be a big lost, as we are used to it, everyone knows that we cannot live without it. If we lose it, the whole modern human civilization will slowly crash down to the dust.

I love the analogy of electronic music to coffee. So many people can relate to that sentence! Your stance of using electronic music to relieve stress is well thought out. The example you gave really brought home this point.
