Is techno too divided?

Everything should go back underground. Techno being readily available within a few seconds due to the Internet has done the scene nothing but harm. Some of you may jump on my back and say its made the scene better and that the scene has grown so much due to more people listening to the music and having access to it but I don’t think so.
I believe the reason there are now so many genres even in techno is because of the widespread availability and this in turn has created so many people who consider themselves techno artists but instead of forward thinking and progression people just simply take the best bits of the music they like throw a techno beat behind it and call it techno.

The tunes that used to come out you could listen to them for hours on end imo and not get bored because there was so much going and even more so in the background than at the forefront and if u ask me that’s what made it techno.

Now there seems to b a lot of so called techno being made and all it has is what I was referring to as the forefront sounds and it lacks everything that really took you away when listening. This is just my opinion but I really think there are a lot of people who listen to techno but there are not as many who really hear techno.

To me this is the problem. I used to like it when techno was a dirty word.
You have got to ask yourselves how many people would do this if there wasn’t money to b made along the line or some status gained.

Take everything back underground and get rid of the sheep the leeches the fakes then sometime in the future techno would pop its ugly head back up as fresh as the day it first arrived. United we stand divided we fall well I guess we are falling.

totally agree with this bit. not sure i blame the internet for this change (i think it was happening already before electronic delivery was widespread)
