A super-serious look at electronic music…
Speaking of ways to visualize stuff… here’s a thing.
*Warning*, this is a ten year old flash app. It’s not pretty. However there’s some interesting stuff in here.
For instance; Can’t remember, or just plain don’t know the name of that D&B artist from the mid 90’s you always meant to check out?
Ishkur’s Guide to Electronic Music to the rescue!
Or maybe you’re trying to explain to your mom or old Uncle Joe what a 303 is and what made it special? There’s an example sound file and a picture on here ready to deliver it’s bleepy, bloopy goodness into your browser.
I’m betting they still won’t know what it is. But you tried.
The guide is also rife with snarky comments on various sub-genres and the author makes sure to add the disclaimer that it’s not to be taken very seriously as a reference, but I have yet to find this type of information presented in a visual manner anywhere else.

I could spend way to much time playing with this. Very cool reference. Didn’t know you were into electronic music though…
