That took a lot longer than I expected. |

Speed Garage
| quote: | | How did this music get past the censors? Who greenlighted this project at the Official Electronic Music Genre Standards and Classifications Consortium? I'm still at a loss as to what it's trying to do. Is it funky? No. Those dulled basslines sound like someone farting into a pillow. Or like the school teacher in the Charlie Brown cartoons scolding some child for his inability to spit, sing and gargle at the same time. Is it soulful? No. Time-stretched vocals never had any appeal, ever. There's no real hook, no real melody. It doesn't even pay any decent homage to Classic Garage. So what the hell is this stuff doing?! Sucking, by the sounds of it. But as bad as it sounds, it has actually managed to find a way to get WORSE over the years, dumping the time-stretched vocals in favour of......you guessed it: those annoying, crooning Mariah Carey wannabe diva hooks. Oh, ing hell. |

You know how when you meet someone from another geographical region, they have a funny accent? But to them, you're the one who has the funny accent. Well, in the great mess that is the music of Trance, Futurepop has the same kind of polar opposite perceptions based on one's musical background. To the Industrial/Goth community, Futurepop is cheesy, silly commercial pop music, a blend of the straight-ahead driving synths and treated vocals of EBM with the flying strings of euphoric Epic Trance. But to the Epic Trance scene, Futurepop seems at once impersonal and harsh, a product of the dark, brooding Industrial scene that is disdainful to their sensitive, trance attuned ears. Since that's the case, then Futurepop may very well be the greatest Trance genre ever. Even better than goa. |
Futurepop FTW! |

| quote: | | I'm sick of people claiming that other people's lives are not genuine because it's not set to their routines, standards and judgments. You spend too much time on the internet and not in the real world like I do. You're still in school, wait until you get out into the real world. Yeah, well, you're a trust-fund baby with wealthy parents, you don't even know what it's like to live in the real world. Working in a coal mine for 16 hours a day making minimum wage to feed five kids? Pshaw....that's not the real world. Obviously the real world is really about being an attractive 20-something living in a loft with a half dozen other attractive 20-somethings of varying ethnic backgrounds and racial differences and manufactured problems, and never having to work. Call me when you start living in the real world. |

| That's not from the Guide. He has a lot of other articles on his site, and some of them are a lot funnier than the Guide. |
