I'm not saying you do not know things mate (I do know you've got a good knowledge about loads of stuff), I'm just saying we all have different knowledges and background, so there will always be someone who knows more than us about something.

For example: You know more than I about techno, but I still speak Portuguese better than you. See what I mean?

oh yeah...well...i know more about disco than any other TA

ok, but seriously...genre whoring is retarded. people that try and place music into categories and then into further sub categories are idiots and i hate you...

Ishkur is a real champ, he has a real sense of HUMOR too. Of course, the disclaimer to his guide is a very important read. I don't agree with all his views but I do respect them. Uh... not everything on his site is meant to be taken word for word literally.

Use subgenres and subsubgenres as convenience -- just don't let 'em box in your enjoyment of the music. We're all different but we're all humans (except for that dog typing an essay on why trance is good for cats over there...) Heck, look at CRAYOLA's jumbo box and all their pretty shades of blue for crayons... but at the end of the day, it's all part of one united rainbow. Amen.

Man, your knowledge is not all-encompassing, no one really is that cultured. You do know many facts about edm history, but that doesn't make you the supreme authority or the guardian of edm truth.

Can you tell me the whole history of minimalism, rio funk, power electronics or even clownstep dnb?
A lot of people in this forum can, with much more authority than you could ever because they have actually lived these scenes.

Can you deconstruct any track into a harmonic progression/counterpoint analysis? Have you ever heard a live performance of Edgard Varese or John Cage? How far can you go into music history in relation to electronic music?

There are TAs than can answer in the affirmative to any of these, according to their specialization. Neither you, nor Ishkur nor anyone can answer EVERYTHING according to their absolute truth values of edm history. Deal with it.
