It`s a bit of a catch 22 situation, it would be nice if more people were just more diverse in their ouitput, and techno went back to becoming a big melting pot of dance based futuristic music, however, trends and the market do drive things to an extent.
Money always screws things up.
But what can you do.
Jesus what a weird topic, what are you talking about. When did we have a meeting and I told you about my big agenda in musicmaking? I can't understand why you want to add to some discussion about me being a trendchaser or something. This you say about wishing techno would go back to being more of a melting pot of interesting dancemusic and people, well at the moment this actually is the first time in years I feel that is actually the case! Stop being so negative and go on with other music you actually like (I remember you had some good taste) And, if there actually is people that listen to certain genres of music simply because they are in fashion, well wouldn't that just make them sad asshats not worthy of any discussion?
