More thoughtful discussion over at TranceAddict happened today. "TECHNO" is a big, puffy word, not unlike those little pillowy guys who advertise toilet paper. Sorry, I forget their names at the moment, but I'm a sucker for cute mascots. So being a type of person who will knowingly embrace contradictions, I wanted to respectfully answer mndeg's question:
how come you use the word techno as in all electronic music??
Most excellent question. Here's my answer why I use the word techno as in all electronic music.?I also touch on part of what techno means to me, and why I am obsessed with it… well, I allude to that bit subtlely.
Words like these really rely on personal truths within you as a unique individual. What do I mean by that? Well, for 'stance, I mean that someone who's never had a wonderful clubbing experience — all sweaty and smiley and perhaps on drugs, perhaps not, but undeniably having an awesome time — is going to have a very different view of techno music than a lab scientist whose involvement in the music is more theoretical.
I am, of course, a hybrid of both and an appreciator of diversity, and in the future I will grow increasingly hungry for these experiences like Urgo (of Stargate SG-1 fame) is for pie. I'm a staunch DISBELIEVER in telling others what they should think?&?feel?when it comes to such a powerful, Teutonic?word as "TECHNO", and so, I share my information but leave their decisions up to them.
And this is how I learn!
Speaking of learning, I came across another couple of pages highlighting peaks of earlier electronic music,
the first from the 60s. (Wow, that girl on the floral mattress looks so happily fine!) Here's the second one — the 70s! I?don't think they ever completed this series though. It was supposed to go up to the 90s, and never did.Onwards, techno ho!
