Utter
The worst forms of techno are trance, speedcore, acid, and rave. And I say that because they are the complete opposite of what music is supposed to be.
form of music created by banging head on wall while tripping on acid and jumping up and down on bagfulls of mice while wierd lights flash.
that techno stuff is inhumane and should be outlawed!!
:rolleyes: :p |

The best music in the entire world, a form of electronic music genre, the beats per minute can be sped up to mad levels.
I like scooter, they have a mixture of hardocre techno, techno, happy-hardcore and acid techno. It's tight.

I like this one though

A popular music genre that doesn't glorify crime - violence - misogynism (can anyone tell me what that means?)- or drug use (like rap does)

| for those who don't like techno, it's because you can't understand the simplicity of it's hardcoreness. So, in other words, unless you have an accquired taste for things that are thrown together to make something ultimately trippy, chances are, you don't like it. |

I took the time to post some correctional measures, and and though it might be a bit condescending I think it's fairly informative, as well as a bit innacurate.
| quote: | The general public's misconception is deeply rooted. Actually the "trunk" genre is electronica not "techno". Techno is an unrelenting, relatively high BPM (120+) electronica genre characterized by harsh or exotic noise and extensive use of percussive instrumentation and rythymic progression.
Its' birth, while largely irrelevant, was in Detroit, MI USA approximately ~20 years ago.
It is *not* "rap background music" which atypically relies on a simple melody and a very slow BPM (80ish bpm). Techno is largely devoid of melodic solos although some of it's bastard children do contain them in said form (namely tech-trance).
I think the general public's misconception is due to their lack of understanding of the diversity and complexity of EDM (electronic dance music, or electronica). Atypically a vocal-less genre (sans some of the "lesser" genre's and their bastard children) it tends to be rather alienating to somebody who has grown up listening to music with "words" in it. Understanding that sound is an expression in itself is essential to understanding the avant-garde electronica movement of the past 25-30 years. Classically trained musicians have a *much* easier time understanding this than your average "50 cent" or "Christina Aguilara" fan.
I hope my primer has been most helpful to the nameless masses out there. Remember, if you don't know what something is but you recognize it as containing electronic-sounds call it "Electronica", as, while vague, it is always correct. Opposed to the word techno, which only makes you look stupid to anyone within a 30 foot radius who actually knows what techno is. |
