Techno is dead, get over yourselves

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.
