its a "cool" image that throws up these kinda problems.... people thinking its "cool" to like certain styles, and then bailing ship when the said style is out of favour, has been rinsed completely out of any viable talent or respect it once contained and is on its last legs ... the absolute and utter LAST thing techno needs is any image attatched to it.... and for arguments sake if techno does have an image attatched at the moment, its certainly not geeks who cant get a girlfriend.... im not a geek (well i dont look like one anyway), id say 95% of the artists i know/admire are not geeks, alot have really beautiful girlfriends etc etc so im not sure where that comes from really... Techno will never ever get sold to the "kids" enough to make it a mass market, there aint gonna be no new MTV generation
