Why is the techno music scene so elitist and conservative?
>>
because it's a shitty emotionless grooveless knock-off of soulful LGBT-accepting house music.
>>
>>61389004
I meant musically conservative. The scene does not tolerate revolutionary changes in the genre.
>>
>>61389160
because if any revolutionary change happened it'd stop being techno
techno a shit
>>
because it is shit
u cant revolutionize shit
shit is dogmatic and inexorable by nature
>>
>>61389160
>The scene does not tolerate revolutionary changes in the genre.

this is a lie though, techno producers tend to change their sound over the years or have many aliases at once while producing diff. styles under each alias. Not to mention, if you don't evolve overtime you risk being called "stale", this happens in techno all the fucking time.

You are referring to places that have a specific aesthetic ie Berghain. Well ofc they will have a specific aesthetic that caters towards a specific crowd. Doesn't mean the producers who release on Ostgut Ton ONLY release Berghain core, most of them release on other labels and again, in a different style
>>
Because trance becoming complete trash, house becoming the refugee for sellouts and hacks showed what happens when you are not.
>>
>>61389160
Are you serious?

Modern techno music is nothing like he original style, its expanded, grown and changed immensely over the last 35 years.
>>
>>61388935
because we don't like plebs.
>>
>>61389342

no it hasn't really

Recording techniques have changed, the sound has changed, but fundamentally there is little difference between say, 3rd wave detroit and modern techno. There hasn't been anything "revolutionary" happening in techno, and that's why its such a successful genre, because its so simple and it doesn't have the risk of other genres like trance, where there were big changes in the scene, big and fast changes that made it sound outdated as fuck by the time it was dying.

Techno has been so successful and it's scene hasn't suffered from the bigs ups and down of say, house, because it is probably the most minimalistic music that isn't academia experiments, and as such, it doesn't need the huge changes needed in other genres to stay "relevant"
>>
>>61388935
i think the funniest example of this was witch house artists naming themselves stupid shit with ascii text or symbols to make themselves harder to discover on the internet and keep the movement underground.

it must have worked because witch house is fucking ded ;_:
>>
>>61389454
>witch house
>techno
>>
germans stole techno and turned it into nazi marching music*

*true story
>>
>>61389309
martyn perfect example of this... was making 140 for years and has produced the most recent record for ostgut, ostgut 93
>>
>>61389431
How does Cybotron sound anything like Heretik System? Or Underground Resistance like Autechre?
>>
>>61389473
i didn't say that
its an example of a musical genre being elitist and conservative

do you suffer from diminished cranial activity anon?
>>
>>61389521
techno's not gonna die though because the people who like it like the aesthetic and doing drugs, the actual music is secondary.
techno is just background noise for drugs.
prove me wrong technofags, you can't.

>complains about techno being conservative
>posts a picture of fucking Berghain, one of the most decadent clubs in the world
>>
>>61389572
>trying to prove wrong an opinion

futile if you ask me
>>
>>61389486

that's why I said "3rd wave" (even though a lot of 2nd wave doesn't sound that aged too), because Cybotron and a lot of other first wave Detroit was a mix of techno and electro, hell the name techno wasn't widely used til much after Clear's release. By the time of the 2nd wave of detroit producers, the sound of what today we call "techno" was a lot clearer
>>
>>61389623
don't you mean "futbol"?
>>
>>61389626
I'm not even opening the thread again now to reread but are you just moving the goalposts from the OP of ALL techno to now just ''3rd wave'' (whatever that rockist bullshit is meant to mean)?
>>

lol, murricans

Also one of the most difficult to get into, this conserving their crowd and image.
>>
Come to Detroit and try to say that shit, mark ass trick.
>>
>>61389476

metal, black metal is for sure nazi marching music. techno/house was invented by gay niggers for gay niggers. underground techno is the most sjw infested genre.

while yeah everything on that list is important, you would still look out of a place in a discussion about modern techno if that was all you knew, thew newest thing on that is villalobos? imagine your knowledge of techno ended at mnml lol

>>61388935
>bad generalization fallacy
Berghain is not representative of the Techno culture, you little fuckwit. It doesn't matter if it's highly regarded or not amongst Techno fans.

exactly why there are prog rock newcomer bands who try to sound like 1971s Genesis. who the fuck cares? let them be canonical!
>>
>>61389572
>prove me wrong
it never works that way, if you make a hilarous claim, you need to prove your point.
>>
>>61390168
What good is a list without names?

>>61389572
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm1-4bigrMc sorry that you have closed yourself from techno so much that you will never have a moment of deep worry cured by the realisation that it's all going to be okay to this track m8
