Ignorance....

I saw this posted on another forum board I'm a member of...

"Anyone else like techno?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been browsing through the forums and have not seen shit about my favorite type of music. Try listening to Sandstorm by DaRude or Till I Come by ATB and try saying that techno is not the shit
Anyway anyone else share my interest? What are some favorite songs?"

I came close to having to buy a new monitor...

I've just learned to accept the ignorance. They'll never learn. We're better off without them at our parties. Let them be happy blasting their Sandstorm and Til I Come from their suped up cars with too much bass.

I don't even try explaining it anymore lol. Its a hell of a lot easier having people think you listen to darude than explaining it

that's nice.

i am sure that when you first heard an electronic beat, you knew everything about "techno", house, trance, and everything.

exactly. You weren't born knowing everything about edm why make fun of
of the less informed...why not guide them with the right information... it can only help the scene in the long run and make your life less bitter....and what is this "we don't want them at our parties anyways" attitude? Are we still in kindgergarden here? I personally love taking a edm newbie to a big event and see their faces light up when they hear the beauty of our music. It's about sharing and educating people not brushing them aside just because they dont know the difference between atb and techno. Grow up!

No, but when I first heard an electronica beat I could still tell the distinct difference.

(And that happened to be when I was around 11/12 years old)

I guess a lot of it has to do with the fact that many MTV cultured peopple are ragging on us techno/house (or an electronica) loving people. They say we have no taste and that it's easy to make techno...and that you can't dance to it...etc..

And when I saw that post...it shows you that these people are putting us in a category we don't belong in. (Assuming that the techno we listen to IS IN FACT Sandstorm)

But yea..I guess it's better to just chill out..

One of the things that pisses me off the most about people who listen to dance music is when people start acting like snobs if others don't understand the distinctions that are placed on the various types of electronic music.

First of all the distinctions themselves are very blurred, and I believe only really useful for trying to describe things, rather than place dj's or tunes in exact categories.

Also dance music is not like pop music in that a person can have easy access to the tunes. They are rarely on the radio, television or played in public places. I remember when I was first starting to have an interest in electronic music I found it frustrating that I did not know where to go to get it, and that I had no way of knowing what was good.

Yelling at people calling them ignorant for not knowing "distinctions" will only scare people away. I still am fuzzy about what certain things are and I've been listening to it for more than five years now.

So I guess I'm ignorant too.

I've had people repeatedly insist that my melodic trance is disco, and I think that's sort of silly. But I can see how people would think "techno" was a generic term for electronica if they were new... in fact, walking to a new stage friday night I had one of the strangers I was with ask me "what kind of techno is this?" I just answered "house" rather than derail the conversation.

Quotation marks are fun.

you should be solving the world problems being an ubergenius like that.

Posted by shanny on Jul-05-2006 17:56:

The worlds only ubergenious is The Count from Sesame Street.

That guy is like crazy sick at counting.

Summary of thread thus far: Elitist comes out; Elitist gets owned; I laugh.

Posted by StereoPrincess on Jul-05-2006 18:03:

The Count says:

One Techno Beat, Ha Ha Ha Ha!
Two Techno Beats, Ha Ha Ha Ha!
Three Techno Beats, Ha Ha Ha Ha!
Four Techno Beats, Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Keeps the beats counting!
