Post your favorite Quotes from Ishkurs Guide (http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/). Honestly that guy can write freaking awesome and often its just so funny :stongue:
Happy Hardcore:
| quote: | | Happy Hardcore is like the spoiled little sibling of the Hardcore family, who got all the breaks, all the looks, all the money, all the chicks and all the successes of life without having to work for it. (...) Some of the stuff feels so godawfully childish that I feel like a pedophile just listening to it, but its not all bad. Truth be known: ALL the world's Happy Hardcore is made by only 12 guys, who have more pseudonyms than a shark has teeth, and who churn it out at such a feverish pace you'd almost think that there's probably a program that makes it for them. |
Jump Up:
| quote: | | Every song is exactly the same!!!! EVERY GOD DAMN ING SONG!!! The only thing that changes is the stupid rolling basslines--and not by much. Heh. This is worse than Anthem Trance in its predictability, its formulaicness, its dilapidated sense of value or worth. I once thought of making an Aphrodite music generator where you choose your hip hop sample, your intro scratch, and then your bassline, hit the "mix" button and away you go: insta jump up tune. |

| quote: | | Ahh, Big Beat. This is the genre that finally made the homophobic frat house crowd finally accept that electronic music at their Saturday night kegger parties. I mean, they still thought it was gay, but not as gay as that ****** trance . |

| quote: | | It's almost as if England (and maybe Europe as well) had been collectively stuffing its face full of sweet, syrupy, cavity-inflicting cookie cutter McTrance for 3 years (96-99), and then suddenly got sick to its stomach and threw it all up. Or maybe it was just Britain's major DJs who got sick of the anthem schlock, and vowed never to spin it ever again. And appropriately, where they commanded, the people, like polite little sheep, obeyed. Then Sasha and Digweed and their ilk wanted to be taken seriously so they started moving into...this sound. Whatever you want to call it, it doesn't matter; it serves its purpose, which is to be anti-anthem. And then as if to REALLY show everyone how above-it-all they were, they gave it a really pretentious name out of an adjective: Progressive. Progressive what? if I know, after 3 years trance snobs are still arguing over that part. Since it means absolutely nothing, then, I'm calling it Brit House, because if anyone could make house (trance?) music this boring and monotonous, it's the British. |

Terrorcore:
| quote: | | The Official sponsor of Pagan rituals and occult ceremonies. Horror movie themes are way out of their league. Man.....just listening to it totally gives me an appetite for a good ole fashion virginal sacrifice or unholy bloodletting of some sort. I bet this would be great music for weddings and Bar Mitzvahs too. Or maybe a romantic evening by a roaring fire. A fire...FROM HELL! Hahahahaha......mmmmmm...nice, young, nubile virgins. |

| quote: | | When Ghetto Tech plays, it's as if the Heavens themselves are speaking. Ghetto Tech will be the natural law of the New World Order. God himself will come down, declare his kingdom on earth, and inscribe on two tablets for all the hoes to shake their multitudes of titties. And it will be good. To the farthest reaches of the earth Ghetto Tech will permeate, and teach us all about harmony, life, love, and slapping dicks against the mouths of many bitches. Oh yes. So it is written, so it will be done. Amen. |

| This is the kind of music everyone listens to before doing something destructive. I bet God was listening to it before he made humans. |

New Jack Swing
This overused technique, exploited the most by Mariah Carey, would segue into the genre Nu Soul, dominated by picky, sassy divas emulating her, who would in turn drive the idea of the artist as a companion to the music into the ground and render the genre completely and totally unlistenable. ing bitches.

| quote: | | Yeah, there we go. Real _ING_ Hard House. To even remotely hint at suggesting that Hard House is some other kind of limp-wristed circus music makes you ridiculously dumb. I mean it: you are really really DUMB for fostering the delusion that Hard House should be anything other than.....HARD. A distorted 909 bassdrum is what you need. And some courses on how to properly focus your anger management, and hopping around pumping your fist in the air. |
| quote: | On NRG
It's actually really decent in small doses. Being forced to endure an entire set of it will grate on you, however, and having to go through an ENTIRE NIGHT of it--as I was victim to, many many times--gets excruciatingly mundane. The problem is the music just doesn't let up--ever--and no, you stupid ravers, that is not a good thing. Parties build on tension and release; NRG's go-go-go ethic just flatlines the entire experience, with track after track after track of the same idiotic . There are a group of genres that pride themselves under the monicker Hard Dance (which includes Happy Hardcore, Trancecore, Freeform, and Stupid House) and are harbingers of a culture infatuated with its own attitude that, given the chance, will set your teeth on edge even more than the music will. Best to just ignore them. They're too high on crystal and nordic-tracking to NRG music to pay much attention anyway. |

Booty Trance
| quote: | | Wouldn't it be great if this genre existed? It would be the one redeeming feature of trance, the genre to actually inject something new into it, and make Trance interesting again for the first time since 1995. I've kept my eyes peeled, and there's not much to make out yet. But there is that interesting 'trancestep' stuff as of late, that kind of ventures near the territory, but nothing yet that is full-on, booty shakin', cracker raps. How hard is it to get 2 Live Crew and BT together? |
