I've given up to get all worked up everytime i hear this term wrongfully used. If someone says to me that its gonna be an "electro" party, i always ask whether it's "ÉlectrO" (with a flat french teen rocker accent), or "EE-LeK-TrOw" (with a robot distorted voice). If he doesn't get it, i say goodbye. - K*
