As an aside, the point for me is that any single sound trend, is on a losing streak.

Techno became one sounded for ages.
You`d go to a techno night and here the same stuff all night.

Techno shouldn`t be about mnml or hard tech, or triabl or whatever.
It should be all and everything.
Club nights structured around a journey through the sound, not just the hot DJ of the moment, and then a bunch of people playing stuff to warm up to him/her.

Techno is a genre that covers so much ground, to focus on one tiny sub sub genre, fashion or not, is just another form of inbreeding that contributes nothing to evolution.
