I think the word "Stylo" is a reference to things that are synthesized or fake. Like anope mentioned, Stylo is a brand of shoe but it is also a pen used on touch screens. There is also a stylo keyboard in which you use a stylo pen to play it. I think the whole song is comparing a feeling of unaccomplishment and fakeness to that of synthesized music or pretty much all manufactured things. Materials are taking over the lives of people. "electric is the love" is like saying the love isn't powered by the natural and magical feeling of love, but a source of limited energy. It will fade eventually.
You saying this does make sense - I didn't know about products named stylo, but I did get the feeling that it's all about the fakeness of things, people having relationships over the internet without ever having seen each other (electric love), etc. Well done!

Haha, this brings it into a minor wider context referencing to how people break up over cellphones. : P

A stylus is what is used on touch screens.

@doodoohead This also fits in with the overarching environmentalism message of the album that Stylo is a part of; Plastic Beach.
