True, but this flies in the face of the dearly held notion that techno is intellectually, if not morally, superior to other genres of dance music. Now, before i'm impaled, I'm not saying it is or isn't. I will be the first to admit that I'm hopelessly biased. I just want to suggest that if we are to declare the electronic music movement to be revolutionary (and I know many of you believe this), it might be a more beautiful story if no one were to be left behind. Consider this, we might be right, but if someone else doesn't "get it," it may be for a lack of information (on several fronts), rather than inferior or even different sense of aesthetics.
