Title: Question.
Post by: Dennisdread on 16 Dec 2008, 12:28

I see you guys talking about techno. Is this electronica? Or is this something else?

What are you guys referring to when you say 'techno'?

Thanks.

"Techno? Industrial? I am not familiar with these strange terms," said Rolling Stone magazine's Jann Wenner, speaking from one of his boats. "I do understand, however, that something called 'electronica' is the Next Big Thing. It says so right on the cover of our latest issue." (http://www.theonion.com/content/node/29944)

On the one hand, it's a term that seems to have been ubiquitized as a catch-all for electronic-sounding music.

On the other hand, search.

Man, not all electronica is techno, but all techno is electronica. Right?

If I truly am responsible for bringing those two affronts to music to mind...well then...I apologize profusely.

In my perfect world I don't even know that kind of crap exists. I sorry.

And I am opening those tabs and closing them before the music starts. Thank goodness for my slower-than-usual connection.

One day, a fraction of the people that like that stuff will look back and say "I can't believe I ever liked this stuff..." and they'll be righteously appalled with themselves.

A larger fraction however, will love it til the day they die.
