Yes, I'm serious. Image only has the power which you give it. I personally don't care for stereotypes or how someone dresses when I'm out to hear music. The only images I am paying attention to are visual shows that are part of the creative process. I've heard a lot about the "image" that hip-hop portrays and, usually, I find that it's a cover for, or symptom of, fear and racism, whether minor or major. Music is driven by ideas first and foremost. Ideas drive my world before the suit someone decides to wear to a party does. Now, if people in a small fraction of the "techno" scene feels that it is the image of hip-hop that doesn't fit, all I'm going to say is enjoy the small handful of attendees while they last. I'll go party with a more open and welcoming crowd.
