Cinos Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Just like people dislike anything too popular... like Microsoft products, and the Ipod. Face it, disliking them doesn't make you elite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archimedes Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I got my start listening to techno when I was around 13... Chemical Brothers is what I started out with, along with some Crystal Method. When I found Shpongle I was completely entranced and Simon P. had a profound influence on my taste in techno. I would consider Shpongle one of the greatest, and most innovative, groups of all time.

Archimedes Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Chemical Brothers isn't techno, Crystal Method isn't techno, Shpongle isn't techno. 259791[/snapback] Thanks, but I didn't come for a lesson in the names of psytrance or whatever the fuck you want to call them. I label it as "techno" because a lot of it is mixed electronically and its just a generic catch phrase. Thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archimedes Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Yeah, I love ignorance too. 259941[/snapback] Good for you. The ridiculous naming schemes have gone on long enough. Hell, each BAND has its own sub-genre now, its utterly ridiculous. Techno is a good catch-phrase that just describes my entrance into the world of electronic music.

Archimedes Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Man, you guys don't have any all-encompassing words used to describe something so you don't have to go into extreme detail? I don't feel like typing out a nine-name subgenre every time I want to discuss a new band I enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archimedes Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 lol.. in my book, electronic music and techno are the same two things. Sorry if I don't feel go into great detail when discussing psytrance or goa, because some fanboy always jumps down my throat about not labelling genres right.
