A reactionary comment against the incredibly stupid idea that used to be thrown around in the music press that "electronic music" was somehow not "emotional". Is electronic music "the most emotional"? No. The best music is the most emotional. Whether it's made using electronic gear or acoustic instruments.

but with a synth you can create any sound, wouldn't that make it easier to get a feeling across
Leo Thomas
No. You can't really. Yes, technically according to the Fourier Transform you could "make any sound" with an infinitely large additive synthesizer. Realistically, synthesizers are very limited machines that are good for making a few kinds of sounds they're designed to make. Modular synthesizers and exotic computational methods open the door slightly more, but not much.
The thing that makes "live instruments", as the other user put it, more suited to expression is the immediacy of the interface. A synth, at best, has keys with velocity, aftertouch, maybe a ribbon controller and a couple wheels, all with 127 quantized steps of sensitivity, as an interface. A guitar has the infinite resolution of the physical world and your own sensory system as an interface.

half of all electronic music is either extremely emotional or not emotional at all, depending on how you look at it, since its made for dancing. and the other half is very creative and expresive since it doesnt lean on lyrics and conventions like other genres to be emotional.

Nice essay my dude
You're forgetting that a synthesizer can make lots of entirely different sounds
a guitar can only make a guitar sound
Juan Hughes
I own a bunch of synthesizers. I know what they can do.
Juan Miller
The guitar can make a shit tons of different sounds with just an amplifier and a few cables. Effect pedals and additional equipment allow for even more sounds. And this is before any production techniques. The idea that electronic music is good because it can make “any sound” is a meme. It’s good for other reasons
Grayson Myers
bait wtf

Kind of true, since electronic music doesn't typically have written lyrics, the actual songwriting has to convey the emotions more.
So instead of "I'm sad because my girlfriends dumped me and slept with a fucking chad ree" you get "this song is really sad." It's easier to relate to, and the emotions are more pure.
My favorite super emotional electronic track:
