>I don't listen to much electronic music, but I find no subtleties or sensitivity in what I hear.
Personally, I listen to whatever triggers the release of happy hormones in my brain. I think this varies from person to person, but for most people (and me) it's close to pop. I'm fine with this being not high culture.
There's lots of sophisticated electronic music, but those are different subgenres to the point where they have less in common with the garden variety techno than they have with other genres. If you want to out-jazz jazz then something like Amon Tobin would probably interest you.
I stopped being a musical snob a while back. I mind no music that gives me chills but often it has to have some ingredients. Now it can be bubblegum pop, it's not an issue, as it should since I have many "ridiculous" songs that I find quite deep to listen too (teen pop idol, old kids shows theme songs).
