So today one of my friends into the hardcore punk scene (and NOTHING else) says "So why do you like techno?" So there's that akward silence and I have to explain that it's not the "boom chick boom chick boom chick" house music shit that most people associate with the term "techno", it's something else. The only way I think I can make him understand is by burning him a mix CD. |

Ok make sure you put some gabba on it. |

||||||||

|

||||||||

Woah woah woah, what's wrong with "boom chick boom chick boom chick". I have plenty of those cds. They're just as fun as the rest. =) |

I think I would have been listening to APhextwin sooner if someone WOULDNT have shown me come to daddy. I was like "WOW THIS SOUNDS LIKE NINE INCH NAILS!!!" then with out an info at all I download surfing on signwaves and like "WOW THIS GUYS SHIT" lol I think Autechre and Telefon tel aviv really opened my mind to things. This Genre consummed me whole : ) |

Oh and I went for coffee with a friend once and he said "YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS" he passed his Discman to me and said "Its an album called WINTER IN THE BELLY OF A SNAKE by this guy called VENETIAN SNARES" It just went all downhill from there : ) |

It is a pain in the arse. You have to mention words like "ambient", "jungle", "drill", "glitch" and "experiemental" before people just give up and talk about something else. |

Give him a CD of early detroit techno- model 500, carl craig, derrick may, etc. |

ok so dont think that he represents that muical community for the rest of the death/grind/black/hardcore guys, cause uh.... I know lots of people that are not into the shit, but they understand totally - the difference between and why its cool and why its not. Also quite a few of them enjoy it now and then... I dunno.. I guess its all good because you could say the same about lots of others, vice versa, like a metal head or this hardcore guy might not get why you or someone else maybe doesnt like hardcore or whatever... go weirdo as fuck.. show him ventolin when i was blasting cannibal corpse, or deicide or any others along fucking time ago I was shown ventolin and it blew me away.... totally. |

this is how i would do it. Start with some semi hard stuff, vordhosbn then keep gradually moving up the scale to harder stuff, finnaly reaching CTD in the middle of the mix.......then right after CTD play flim, cause it will be a realy big shock, then move down to some really slow abient stuff, and maybe even a few mellow tracks from 26 mixes......finally at the end when he's expecting something more soft stuff, unleash KTP2, this will realy fuck him up :) and teach him a little bit about respect |

Ask them why they like Punk. IT's a bit of a shit question. Why do you like Techno? It sounds good to my ears. Only feasible answer really. |

Coming from the guy in a punk band, punk is bullshit. Especially now. Did you know that Johnny called up Marky and Didi Ramone after Joey Died and said "Now we can push new merchandise ..." ??? Thats bull shit !!!! *Story on Johnny and Joey .... they didnt talk to each other for 10 years, not even in jams : \ (One married the others girlfriend or something like that.) |

i'm thinkin some tracks from Making Orange Things are needed |
||||||||
|
|

im in the same situation, i think im going to put vordhosbn and some piano tracks on so he can associate them. then a little autechre around peel sessions and chiastic, then really heavy on the boc. What do you think? He likes radiohead and things like that, i just have to get him to cross over into the idm universe. its my older brother. |

i hate having embarassing explanations!!! °_° or even seeing someone having to do embarassing explanations, makes me feel as bad too. but i don't think this "techno" problem is that embarassing, is it? |

yes it is because people assiciate it with glowsticks and Vicks |
||||||||
|

|

I feel better if I give the embarassing true explanation, rather than make up a fake one. In the grand scheme of things, it means nothing. I always have to explain to people when they ask me what music I lsten to that it isn't "boom shhk boom shhk - break out the glowsicks and pacifiers" gay trance/dance music though. |

i do not recommend showing autechre to people who havent heard idm |

Punk sounds like ass. No rhythm, no melody. Nothing at all. IDM has the pissy attitude (at least, ideally it does) but it also takes skill. |

very important point made |
||||||||
|

maybe he thinks the advanced stuff you'll burn boring to if he only listens to fast boom chick hardcore punk |
||||||||
|
|

|
