But enough of the jokes.
Techno is techno. You get what you put into it. If you deal with it graciously, kindly, with gratitude, and just doing what you love, then you will not have problems.
The only reason why you see so many ugly sides of it is because you are a part of it. Do you not think the automotive industry isn't ugly? How about the modeling industry? What about jazz? Do you know how many people bitch about Dixieland jazz (because you cannot dance to it). In addition, you remember what you want to remember and you deal with what you want to deal with. But hey, it is your life. I will deal with good friends and good people and do things that make my loved ones and me happy, nothing else really matters.
