Jungle and breakbeat are 4/4. |
I feel like I made a dumb mistake but I still don't know how. Carte to explain. Isn't music meters measured by stressed beats. |

That's not minimal, but 'minimal'. |
If you look at it very technical you are 100% right.
I can understand that techno and minimal purists are mad that the genre is soo hyped up and that tech-house-with-some-minimal-elements are being qualified as minimal tracks.
However I still think the 'minimal' scene is healthy. Parties remain great, crowd is very enthusiastic (as you can see on the vids) and enough new quality releases. Personally I think DJ's like James Holden are rocking with a nice blend of minimal, 'minimal', neo-trance, acid and (real) electro.
On the downside, when you are at a minimal party you see a lot of people with the same clothes, drug-use (cocaine, Ketamine anyone?) hairstyle (richie should have copyrighted his own cut) and dance-shuffle. Maybe not the best direction minimal is going but this happenes to every musicgenre (non-edm included.)
I think people bitching about Minimal and 'Minimal' should stop, just hop on the next elite-bandwagon: Dubstep, Deephouse or Nu-rave.

4/4 is the time signature, not the style of beat. The straight kick is often called "four-to-the-floor" because it is four beats per bar, and in a 4/4 time signature there are only four beats to a bar. Everything in a 4/4 time signature happens in multiples of four. I highly suggest that you read up on music theory. |

I'm definitely not bitching though I love 'minimal' but it's just not minimal. Mislabeling is not cool no matter how many people do it. |

They're 4/4 time signature but not four-to-the-floor, i.e. there isn't necessarily a kickdrum on every beat. |

You make it a point not to give anyone else a break, so why should anyone cut you any slack?
