techno is not up it`s own arse, maybe some of the people who are passionately into it are.

every genre suffers this though, maybe techno more than others.... imo techno is a specialist genre, most people into techno, it`s their life, not just music they like to listen to.... i love every aspect of it, the music itself, and the scene in general, i dream about techno all the time, it`s my no1 passion in life.

i think this goes for most on this board too.
