Tech-house is just as generic as the supersaw in uplifting trance

I find it hilarious on here how people rip uplifting trance for using supersaw, and then turn around and listen to tech-house, where every song has the exact same tempo and hi-hat/hand clap pattern going on in the background.
Seriously...every ing tech-house song has this.
And no I'm not trolling here. Go and listen to any tech-house song and you'll hear what I mean. |

you mean 125 bpm, four on the floor kick, and claps on the 2 & 4, a closed hi-hat on every beat and a open hi-hat on every off beat....?
yeah, that's a beat that tech-house have been raping....but so has most four on the floor dance music done for 30 years. so start naming less vague examples than that or otherwise you can troll elsewhere. |

| Same with minimal, they use mostly the same clicking sounds, and many use the exact same rhthym loop. |

lol
yeah but genres don't have to be relentlessly formulaic. (though they often are!)
more than the rhythm its the specific instrumentaton and set of samples. it's the mix aesthetic, the structure, the vacuous use of 'ethnic' and 'black' samples to create a facade of authenticity. it's the same minor rhodesy chord stabs over and over again, etc.
i feel that a lot of the tech house and specifically the deeper and detroit-obsessed stuff is really preoccupied with authenticity. half of the tracks pretend to come from a jazz tradition, half of the producers claim that their first record was from herbie hancock, etc. It's really mostly prog house kids who grew up a little bit, bought a fedora and a couple of miles davis records and now they just want to be cool so they put jazz samples in their records and talk about metareferences. same inane structure and addiction to clubland, but with even less emotion and honesty |

| What really bugs me though is all those guitars being used in rock music. Can't those idiots come up with anything less generic? |
