i just gotta say it one more time...

i don't care if you like bland, repetitive techno. i don't. really.

just stop deluding yourself into thinking it's futuristic or defines a generation or something. it hit it's peak of creativity about 1993 and has been cycling in circles ever since.

techno, today, is a *retro* fashion. k?

there's a number of rock forms that only make sense when placed after techno, as fusion only makes sense when positioned after jazz (but in a real sense was also both the end and high point of jazz). where we're standing in 2014, we've even managed to exhaust just about any kind of interesting electronic hybrids, which happened some time in the mid 00s.

so, it's like.....sorry, kids, but techno is something that already happened, and you missed it. why don't you take some time to explore some more contemporary forms, instead of getting lost in a concept of the future that is properly dated to c. 1983?

here lies techno. while there was initially much promise, and many victories, the end was meandering and dull.

rip.

techno.
