Is it a first compilation that makes a genre "official"? If so, better watch out for 萌えテクノ ("moe techno")! With nearly 100,000 hits on Google (at time of writing) and this new compilation from the T4P indie label, the said genre sure seems like it's here to stay for a while.
For those not in the know...
moe interj. Otaku slang that sort of means "cute", in a maid or nekomimi way.
"moe techno" mixes that otaku cosplay and anime-goe (female voices that sound like anime) culture with techno-pop. Artists that are being classified as moe techno include Perfume, capsule, YMCK and applehead.

I've heard "moe" is an interjection in response to a cute girl character who's pretty much just grown up. It refers to budding or sprouting I think. Oh, and I like Plumsonic - http://plumsonic.net/
