Is techno too divided?

[Roxy Trip]

if there was less pigeon- holing i definatly think there would be more room for different variations of sound.
i think people shouldnt get so attached to labels, theyre only words.
its not THAT important. what is important is wether it sounds good imo
techno is techno, its got a past present and future. but dont see the point in getting arsey about catogorising it :)

100% diddo here.......

at the end of the day a lot of the terms are just adjectives which help describe the sounds that you are looking for/talking about......

and there are lots of tunes which get put into different genres which tbh is great too.... e.g some tunes off ddr's Hazchem label, in one shop ye might find it under techno, another acid techno, another hard house, another in trance....

but music like this has crossover appeal so if some trance head comes accross the hazchem tune and seeks out more on this label or by those artists then that can open up a whole new scene to them...

and 'back in the day' when i used to physically walk into the old record shops i used to trudge through all the other 'genres' or 'boxes' or 'sections' and often come across the odd gem which has been wrongly 'labelled' or 'genrified' (sp)....

which for me was good.....

does it make any difference to the world if it is or it isn't? really?:whoops:

surely you should play what you like. if people like it..bonus.

if they dont...your shit and maybe think about doing something else as your job/ in your spare time.

simple really:cheese:

@ Dirty Bass and Manga Fish:

I must admit my view point is somewhat limited in relation to actual knowledge of the other scenes,:ohdear: , so thank you for correcting my idea of it all with some very good points...

Plus I tend to go around with mi rose tinted glasses on half the time!:;

Shame tho isn't it, that such division is so common place when music is supposed to be the ultimate unifier amongst folk...
