Does anybody here, in all honesty, like techno?

[Rayonius]

I can find things to enjoy in all genres of music! techno is my favorite, but i also enjoy classic rock, ragtime, heavy metal, pop, and country. oh, but i don't like rap. except a few songs (mostly by usher XD)

[ZeroKirbyX]

Usher isn't very rap...

Eh... I'm sorry, but I hate the gajillion genres out there for basically the same thing. I don't feel that just because you use a different style of drums or its faster than normal that your songs should have a different genre. techno/electronica/jump/hardstyle/etc is all the same thing to me.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing it, I just find it silly when people get specific and picky about what genre something is categorized in. Techno/Electronica is pretty neat actually, I love experimenting with this, though MIDI doesn't offer much to work with.

All music does that Dren. Emo, "new wave" punk, scream, grindcore. They're all the same ****, but bear enough distinctive changes to warrant a new grouping.

[drenrin2120]

eh, yeah, I know, it still bugs me. Maybe not all the genres, but some of them. Like Pop Punk. What the ****? Something about a band listing their genre as Punk/Pop Punk screams futility.

Uhh, no, I like music though, ever tried it?

Seriously, I hate when computers and calculators and clocks start complaining about something I can't understand...that's what techno is, right?

EDIT: What's this talent of mine to end threads man?

[ZeroKirbyX]

Exactly. Techno is just like every other genre of music, albeit more reliant on electric equipment. To say that techno requires less effort or knowledge is ridiculous. Here's one example, Infected Mushroom, a psych trance duo, both of whom played piano since they were toddlers. Techno still requires a thorough of music theory, which many actual musicians, say, guitarists, don't have. Some do, of course, but others don't. Either way, dismissing one genre of techno such as trance because you don't like speedcore is the equivalent of dismissing classic rock because you don't like heavy metal.

But wait, you say, metal and classic rock aren't at all alike! Techno is all the same. Wrong. What are the differences that constitute metal being metal and not rock? The same types of things to separate trance from speedcore. Rhythm, bpm, sound types, etc. So seriously, stop dismissing all of techno just because you don't like one genre.

Everyone here gets too worked up about sounds. All the time I see "Try listening to real music like this".

Music is an opinion. Techno is enjoyable to me, but it might sound gay to others. The only personal flaw I find in it is that a lot of it sounds the same. BEFORE YOU **** YOUR PANTS AND POST "but mies not al tehcno is teh same ure jus ignorant" it is a personal opinion. I listen to plenty of it, but most of it doesn't have lyrics, and what of it that does often has the singer's voice so distorted that it doesn't give out the right feel. That lack of focusing on vocals might lead me to pinpoint more on other instruments, which in turn will allow me to notice more similar beats in some songs. Some others might view techno as talentless because a great deal of it can be done by one person, on a computer, and/or without any instrumental skills. Still others might view is as amazing works of art because its instruments arn't limited in the same way that traditional band instruments are, thus increasing the freedom that can be exibited in the music.

And lastly, I find nothing wrong with having the Tertis theme be one of my favorite tracks. It is classic and it brings back oldschool memories.

Hideki whateverhisnameis (The Jet Grind Radio guy) is the only thing close to techno that I enjoy. The rest of it sounds like noise to me.

[Red Fox]

Never techno, used to listen to industrial synth though. Funker Vogt was the kings.

I like all types of musci...except country

Johnny Cash = Awesome.

[Felix-0]

Johnny Cash = Awesome.

I don't count all of his songs country

[ZeroKirbyX]

Why the hell not? Johnny Cash is country, simple as that. It's like saying Merle Haggard or Willie Nelson aren't country, it doesn't work.
