i'm no hater. its just that techno's not music, its just some tool with acid pro. i like some electronic music for sure, but "dance" is bullshit. like, has anyone heard mouse on mars? that is crazy shit.

my work isn't so bad actually, we get to play our own stuff, its just that sometimes the dude likes to put on some "beats". right now i'm listening to my morning jacket. - Sun, 30 May 2004 9:26am

Ah while I do agree that some kinds of electronic music do suck ass saying that techno sucks is like saying all music with distorted guitars sucks. There are so many different styles of techno you have probably heard about one percent of whats out there. Granted yes I agree wholeheartedly the dancey crap you hear in most bars sucks ass in a huge way. House, hard house, acid house, progressive house, drum and bass, jungle, hip hop, trip hop, garage, deep house, and that is just a tiny portion of the types of electronic music. I'm willing to bet you had heard of one or two of those, and yet you lump them all together. - Sun, 30 May 2004 12:16pm

saying that each type of techno is a genre is like saying that each rock and roll song is a different genre. there're all the fucking same! if having a different bpm makes it into a different genre than each stones song coexists in multiple genres for fucks sake. - Sun, 30 May 2004 3:54pm

Ah then I guess Napalm Death and Poison are exactly the same types of music cause they both play metal and Napalm is just way faster. We'll just overlook the fact that they are radically different styles and I'll take your approach and just be totaly close minded and ignorant about it. - Mon, 31 May 2004 12:37am

Techno sucks. That is my opinion. But...ask someone who likes techno...they will say it doesnt. See where im going with this? Its a matter of opinion. Now i say...country, techno, pop, hip hop, rap, blues, opera, and punk rock music suck. - Mon, 31 May 2004 8:37am

AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! This is rediculous! There's a big difference between what people think that "Techno" is..(shit like Kernkraft and Vengaboys, which is actually just shitty dance music)....as opposed to the other varieties of electronic music such as ambient, jungle, drum and bass, break beat etc. The list goes on and on. There's more sub-classifications of electronic music then there are for metal/punk combined. I don't know a lot about electronica and stuff like that though. I listen to it when theres nothing better to listen to simply because I feel like im on E whenever I hear whistles in a rave song. - Mon, 31 May 2004 9:47am

this is what i'm talking about- shitty dance music. but all of these "sub-genres" are fucking ridiculous. its just a different bpm for crying out loud, not a new fucking class of music. as for you jay, you said it yourself: "they both play metal." - Mon, 31 May 2004 10:57am

What is techno? I've never quite understood, it's one of those media generated labels just like "electronica".

Since it's all the same, it's all techno because it has synthesizers, and it all sucks, I guess you can add Pink Floyd, Yes and Rush to the list. They must be techno too cuz they use synthesizers and audio FX, then they too suck. - Mon, 31 May 2004 12:04pm

Techno.. I don't prefere it. I think it would take talent to make Techno music, or at least a knowledge of how it works. Have any of you ever heard of Aphex Twin. He scares the shit out of me. He has this song and its like "Come to daddy come come to daddy" Then it goes off in this really creapy voice thats like "I will eat your soul" I've seen the music video for it. Scares me.. Children with Aphex's face...it isn't pretty - Tue, 22 Jun 2004 11:45am

Aphex twin is wicked. I suggest the video donkey ruhbarb or window licker they are super funny! Monkey drummer fuckin rocks!
What about gorilaz?? They are one of the first cyber bands and they have the singer from Blur.. I think you should give these guys a listen and maybe they might open your mind to what could be a very important time for all different forms of art. - Thu, 1 Jul 2004 8:41pm

The French electronic ensemble Autechre (sp?) are pretty rad. Richard D. James (a.k.a. Aphix Twin) fuckin' rules. I agree, Rehana, that "Come to Daddy" pushes the limits of squeamishness, but I'll bet you'd have a good laugh at the "Windowlicker" video, complete with Tupac and Snoop look-a-likes trying to pick up on R.D.J.'s cool vibe but failing miserably in the process. Never seen the "Donkey Rhubarb" video. A strange character, R.D.J.: apparently he has a tank that he's been known to drive through his little British hometown. - Fri, 2 Jul 2004 2:48pm

Because E is a mixture of narcotics, and people who willingly ingest such crap have a screw loose.

LOL! All this downing on E is kinda funny. That was the drug of choice for a lot of punks here when I moved here in 88. Hell someone even paid myself and my roomies a 1/2g flap (5 roomies) each to use Oblivion for a E party. I'm sure that'll bring back some memories for some of the old scenesters that post here. - Thu, 29 Jul 2004 8:39am
