The future of techno lies more in attitude than in style.
Techno has adapted and evolved to fit the years, but I don`t think the current industrial styling of techno is the future, it`s actually a step backwards, as much as I like it, it`s a nostalgia trip.
Techno needs to step out of it`s anus, and re-engage the youth. The kids want a message to grab a hold of, not cold undescipherable machine music. The future of techno is the youth, and the youth are digging rock more than danc3e music, cos dance music has lost it`s point of reference.
