But to an extent hasn't it always been like that? I think a lot of people into raving/clubbing/call it what you will are in love with the ethos of rebellion and the excitement of doing something different, rather than the music itself. That's why so many fall out of dance music once they stop taking drugs. You'll always have a core of people who love the music, and especially in techno because it's not the most accessible style of music around. But for the rest it's just a period in their life - youthful exuberance probably - where they can go crazy and forget everything else in everyday life.
