Is the techno dead?

I havent heard a techno song for a while. All of the songs which are presented as techno, have at least some elements of trance. Is the techno dead?

That's 'cuz you listen to Tiesto. I bet the only techno track you've ever heard is Plastikman - Spastik.

NOW BEND OVER!

Tiesto hammered it to make himself feel special.

"and let's go, nobody listens to techno"

hehe, when Danny Howells and Deep Dish used that sample, I died laughing. Irony at it's finest, man.

My girlfriend's brother's got a seeding machine (they live in a farm) and, I swear, the best techno I've ever heard came from that thing. Music made by machines and with no pretention of even being music. It's just a machine doing its work (and happens to do it in a fixed rhythm). That's the real techno.

edit to add: in case you're a cluetard, this would be, from left to right, Kevin Saunderson, Eddie Fowlkes, Juan Atkins & Derrick May sitting in front of the Detroit Historical Museum, where they were honorized for inventing techno.

Wow, I was worried that May's Hindenburg-sized ego and pretentiousness would block the entire lens, but it seems to have worked out ok. So basically "real" techno is the works that invented techno?

Well, that's why this forum exists.. to learn something about the trance from it

And if you have a minimal knowledge of trance doesnt mean you can assault people. Or that's the only think you know to do?!?!

riiiiiiiiight. may's pretentiousness. what the fuck are you talking about.

I thought trance was dead, and hardtrance remotely dead...
....but techno is dead too....?

I dunno, why do TA's start to declare several genres of EDM dead when in some periods bad releases are coming out and/or they don't hear anything suitable to their taste?

And second of all...I really don't know one single fuck about techno.

Sorry, I forgot that Jeff Mills was the one who did the Metropolis soundtrack, not May.
