What genre of electronic music would this be considered?

I don't know but it reminded me, for some reason, of Dj Ajax, the Aussie Dj who was arsing about on his b-day...spinnin' the wheels of steel to a packed house. In a moment of bacchanalian ecstasy, he bolted from behind the decks, tore through the crowd of people like he remembered he'd left the stove on or something, dashed out the club like a madman...and was hit by a truck just outside the club as he jovially sprinted across the street.

Thus ended the life of one Dj Ajax.
 
Kinda sounds like some slow tempo electro, some of it reminded me of skrillex but others...not so much. I'd bet money that you would like some of skrillex's "house" tracks though, not my taste but personally but seems to be what all the cool kids are listening to nowadays.
 
This is Moombahton. Surprised no one has figured it out yet! Come on guys moomahton isn't that new anymore.

A lot of moomahton right now sounds like electro-house sludging through a gelatinous goo because it is so slow (108-110 BPM) compared to Electro-house (125-135 BPM)

I thought Moombahton was already mainstream, I mean fuckin' Linkin Park is making Moombahton now (kinda sucks but I give them points for trying)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsKQOm_iJug

Yes! This is exactly it! Thank you!
 
Moombahton, when the name was first coined, sounded a lot less like bastardized electro than it does now, but much like dubstep before it, when it moved into mainstream EDM over the past couple years it shed its roots and took on this sound. And believe it or not, this track is actually at 109 or 110 BPM.

Mid-tempo in reference to EDM is a catch-all term referring to any EDM between 80 and 110BPM. Glitch / Glitch-hop is most commonly 100 BPM, at least with today's 'mainstream' EDM. However, Glitch/Glitch-Hop can also go way lower in tempo and through the full range of what defines mid-tempo. There is quite a bit of Glitch-hop at 80 BPM. So yes, there is an overlap between Moombahton and the upper range of Glitch, and over the past few years the genres have basically been stirred around thoroughly in the stylistic melding pot and have hybridized, taking elements from each to create what we hear in current 110BPM mid-tempo EDM. We can argue all day whether this track is Moombahton or 110bpm Glitch, or we can just shake hands and agree that it is mid-tempo EDM.
