"My techno is not the same as your techno because techno techno came from my mums arse hole, and your techno, which is actually called "techno techno techno", is only played by dj's with Y-Fronts on their heads, inside a very large dishwasher. Oh, and dont get me started on Techno Techno Techno Techno, because no-one overseas gets it because they wernt born in pontyfract. I think thats why it gets pushed in with vocal house because some guy who makes house was born there."
Steady on All, its a discussion forum, people tend to discuss things on them

:lol:

I dont see why this subject winds you up so much when you dont even like much techno. Well not the 'real authentic 100% genuine' techno that only I know understand being illuminated and at the 33rd degree of the society of techno
<rant>
I like a track if i like a track. I tend to like the harder styles of music, so i will always check them out. I dont tend to like loopy rythmic techno, and im not into the oldschool sound. However, i do like some tracks, and i wont dissmiss that style because i dont like a lot of it. And i certainly wont go on an internet forum and argue "where it came from", and how it isnt a vaild sub-genrer of techno. Or how acid techno is detroying the scene and all that shit.

The problem with most dance music, and techno espeicially is that people like a lot of people on here seam to think that discussing it in a derogatory way will make the scene better and somehow boost thier staus in the techno society by acting like they know all about the history and the best parts of the music and shit. Its all bolocks. It almost as if with some people that prooving your right is more important than the actual music. "Its not london techno, its acid techno", "no its not", "yes it is", "well, its from london". Bloody hell, does it really matter. </rant>
Man, you crack me up :lol:

All true as well!

Can i just say that an arguement was not the attention, more like a discussion on how the industry is segrated in some way and just learning about what other people think about it.

I mean, i am a lover of techno, personally, i'm indiscriminate, i'll quite happily go out and listen to Detroit and have to put up with electro and i'd do the same with the London sound and put up with watever else next door aswell.

Also, i don't think all of the output coming from SUF inparticular is acid techno either, i mean listen to something from Ematic, or SP Groove, is that really all acid techno anyway?
I just see people casting all of the output off as a certain catergory when personally i don't see why, maybe i pay more attention or something, i dunno.

*shrugs*

I guess the reason i brought the subject up is that i'd like to see more varied line ups,something that merges all stables together a bit more. Yes Sth America are up for it, some of Europe too.

Where i see the problem is when the likes of Dave Clarke, or Jeff Mills are never, ever seen on the same bill as D.a.v.e The Drummer or Chris Lib'r, why is that?
It's really annoying tbh, i'd love to see a varied line up with them all on the same bill, it would include much more variation and make a night out much more interesting musically, imo.

Still, i agree, who really cares what you call it, if you like it you like it!
