It really is. Like I said in my reply way above.... if that's the sound you're going for, go for it.

But in most genres there are some pretty standard approaches if you way that "sound". For example, in rock, hard panning guitars is very common, as is side chaining the bass drum to compressors on various tracks. Then there's the uncommon stuff that's discretionary. For example, I like putting an electronic kick with a band pass between 1000 to 2500k to lead the ear to the actual bass drum, to give the illusion of louder bass. The electronic pop shouldn't stick out though. It should just lead the listeners attention.
