i dont see why you think people become more conservative. what id
say instead is that people just become tired of hearing
substandard and uninteresting music after so many years. im only
23 and im hardly "mature" but i swear ive listened to enough music
in the last decade that if i hear another hard banging dance
record im going to have to stab someone. i just dont have time for
something that elementary anymore, not when i can spend my time
listening to better music. this goes for all styles of music, not
just techno. same goes for rock, jungle, techno, house, whatever.

so what is traditional? are you saying song structure is
traditional? what about the structure of jazz? certainly, looped
music goes back waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy farther in
history than the structure of jazz music does. saying that minimal
drummy music is new is pretty shortsighted considering the idea of
african drum music is probably the first idea of music.
