The reason as to why this type of genre is very popular is because people in general have a fascination of outer space as well as futuristic things. Of course in the entertainment industry, science fiction music has actually played quite a big role in promoting this particular genre.

In general, this type of musical genre would make use of spacelike sounds that would also make use of marching beats. In both the film and musical industry, many composers would make use of these future type sounds for their creations. This is apparent in a lot of compositions that people can see up unto these days.
