In all brutal honesty, I think it is safe to say that techno is dead. Of course there will always be mainstream dancey crap for coked up girls, but anything respectable about it has completely gone down the toilet.
The integrity of the genre has been wiped out by "underground" dubstep, wannabe analords, and annoying spoiled brat kids on their macbooks (who absolutely never, ever come here of course). Anyone who actually knows how to make it well, only produces for financial reasons; they themselves know how much their hard work would be lost on a sea of braindead ecstasy users, its an obvious exercise in futility and not lucrative.
The only thing left over from the time when techno had anything worthy of respect, are these pathetic forums where people shit out of their fingers all day long and spread their mainstream mentality filth all over like they are the center of attention and everyone should care about what they listen to so much.
Get over yourselves and realize that when you post here, no one is listening and no one cares about you and your shitty life.

if ur talking about real techno not just electronic i agree man
im so sick of ppl acting like techno lables are puting out some boundary pushing kind of music cough cough ostgut ton. its all super forumulaic. the worst of it all is dub techno tho cuz literally NOTHING innotive happened in that genre in like almost 20 years but boomkat and all there blind followers go ga ga over the latest chain reaction artist clone constantly and talk about it like they never heard anything like it b4
not that i disagree with music thats GOOD but doesnt push a boundary but dont act like ur music is the coolest hip new thing when its just copying some1 elses style
theres some ppl still doing ground breaking stuff i think but generally its 1 of the most stagnated styles of all time and u cant argue that

I hear you man, I have also noticed similar, it seems that everything new that comes out has all these people who love it and praise it regardless of how it sounds. Its a simple marketing strategy that is very effective and widely used not just in the music industry; videogames also suffer from similar, but to a greater, more obvious extent; at least they are somewhat upfront and don't go about it the same scummy way that "they" do in the music industry.
Music is a consumer product but it is also something that can potentially be very close and important to someone, much more than other forms of entertainment in a certain sense, but only if people are allowed to find what works with them without the contamination of external influences. With so much music "suggestion" and social "reward" for positive discussion and participation in the taste-brainwashing, the result is a culture largely founded on people with no unique taste, only the same boring opinions on the same boring stuff, which itself leads to more boring musicians, and the circle of filth is completed.

I quite like dub techno, but I put it on in the same way I'd put on a playlist of "the sounds of the rainforest" - I don't look to either for innovation, just something I am pretty sure won't fucking wind me up. Unless some Howler Monkey starts going off on one.
