i gotta agree with you here, i do enjoy experimental stuff, im a big fan of aphex twin, and i do buy a lot of the more experimental techno, but the harsh releality of it is that most of it dosen't work on the dance floor. Your average clubber like's a good solid beat to dance to. Quite often on sundays at free partys i break out all my experimental tune's to break it up a bit and 9 times out of 10 i do a pretty good job of clearing the dance floor. I think dance floor music does have to stick to a formula, however there is room for creativity within these formula's. You don't see bands throwing away there guitars and trying to create new instruments, because guitars work well in rock music.

Whoever said earlier on that they can't see any more genre's being created is being very short sighted, there will always be progression, some new method of synthesis may come out, some crazy new instrument that will spawn a whole new sound possibly sub culture. History repeasts itself!

so what im trying to say is that most clubbers want good repatative beats to dance to. Therefore producers will continue to make it as there is a market for it.
