Why sit there and dwell on past mistakes and dumb short comings, there's a genre all for that called emo.
For real b. It can put you off all it wants to. The lot of people here are pro active and involved as you are no doubt. But we can either dwell on whats wrong and say it sucks, or address it note it to not repeat it and move ahead. Not stagnant.
A) it's stagnate and B) how is critical thinking or criticism at all stagnant.

eh.. and tony. those who forget history are doomed to repeat it

the best thing in techno right now IMO is the fact that people are fed up. that energy can/maybe/might trandcend it's problematic state. if you are so brazen to think a bunch of well behaved people and theoretical spoon fed happiness are going to move things forward well then i'm going to watch the ellen degeneres show and think about how i can score with a porn star.

there ARE a lot of things wrong with techno. THERE ARE SOLUTIONS.

but being a lemming to it all isn't the solution. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DO TECHNO DAMAGE. and nobody ever says shit about them why cause we have to jump and duck to get anywhere. the whole power structure must be redefined. if you have or know anything about the BIZ there is no way you can't agree. you know what WOULD BE POSITIVE: A THREAD WHERE WE OPENELY AND HONESTLY MAKE ASSERTATIONS ABOUT WHAT REALLY SUCKS WHAT BAD THINGS PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED AND WITH WHO.

you want to make techno better in my opinion you won't do it by "shutting up and making tracks" you'll do it collectively with pressure and sincerity. asking people to be insincere is STAGNANT.

people have been known to pawn me off as a negative nancy but had you talked to me 5 years ago about techno even 3.. you wouldn't have found anyone more passionate about it. this is my view. i apologize for it. but i am and always will be sincere about music.
