Retracing history to predict where techno is going.

[dirty_bass]

The future of techno is pretty bleak. A genre of music that relies on electricy more than any other trying to survive in world of energy efficiency & climate change. Its faint memory carried on by Mad-Max style troubadors, haunting the land, singing songs of a world long extinct.

Techno has about as much of a future as ancient greek music did.

What does that leave for the future of music in general then, minus electronics?

Symphonic, ok I can dig that.
Folk? evil dirge
irish folk? evil dirge that thinks it better than it is because it`s irish
Rock bands playing accoustically? poncey turgid wailing middle class trash

In fact without electricity a hell of a lot of music will die, as well as the means of playing it at home, as well as lighting your home etc.

LOLZERS @ that argument. Generating electricity to power things (and make techno) is a problem which is much easier to solve than most forthcoming doomsday scenarios. You would have more to worry about such as disease, heat, starvation, lack of clean water, and war than you do having electricity to power 909s, iPods, and laptops.

It's also pretty ridiculous to link the fall of a corrupt ancient civilization to the popularity-loss of a genre of modern music.
