Subjects like this are always so hard, because being honest techno, what techno is/wants to/should be completely confuses me, same with all electronic music, its out of control because the ways in which it can go are limitless. This where the faceless subgenre's, artists and sounds come in, its hard to identify with things and it becomes really annoying. Its a double edged sword, the thing that makes electronic music so great ie being able to constantly change and evolve is the thing that holds it back.

But the misunderstanding of techno really gets to me, I want more people to understand and enjoy it. Other forms of dance music are purely made to make people dance, pure club/party music. Techno can do the same but it a completely different way, its more of a journey of emotion that a good dj will suck you in and take you with their sounds. Techno can be more than just dance music though imo, its sonic art but with that it brings pretentiousness and it also holds the music back so much because so many fans and producers are stuck on the past ideas of detroit.

Its confusing, techno can be the best club music in the world but because its more than that is what attracts people to techno in the first place imo.
