I think I have a point here. If something is filthy and dirty in music, it rocks.. And this appeals to most of the sub genres of techno I think. From the 303 of acid techno to the filth of a mysterious minimal bassline, to the distortion of a hard techno stab. Even when you listen to beautiful techno (ie lovely strings and pads) there's always a filthy hi-hat or disgusting bassline in the somewhere. Or is it just us??

What the hell is it about filth that appeals so much in music?????? Such an interesting discusion I think... hehhe ;)
