Surely this forum doesn`t consist of 12 year old fanboys and actually is frequented by informed adults who understand that it is rather childish to hate on any music that you aren`t into.
What is the point of slagging off another genre of music. Techno as a genre, to continue to be somewhere near the cutting edge needs to change and progress. Artists need to experiment (Sims ironically has played minimal stuff in his sets over the last couple of years).
Currently main stream straight techno or "hard" techno hasn`t really progressed at all. The advent of crossing over with dubstep and minimal, and in fact a new emerging genre of music that sits somewhere between all 3, is the first signs of true progress.
The minimal explosion was a direct reaction to techno running out of steam, artists wanted to try something else. And because of this there have been reactions against it (which is healthy as it has forced progress) and reactions to it (which again is healthy as it pushes artists to try new things).
Music needs to develop to stay alive, and if you look at the history of various genres, at some point a new sound develops within a genre. Those who can`t except change stay with the same thing, and interest in the old skool of that genre wanes until it hits a steady, but not growth, fan base.
The new emergent genre generally gets a new name to separate itself, and begins a growth cycle, reaches a plateu and then the cycle repeats.
Hard techno has had it`s plateu and now I think has gone through it`s decay and has hit it`s steady fan base.

Why bleat about it? What difference will it make?
