It makes a difference because we're talking about the possibility of new people getting into techno, and one wonders whether this is a fad or a long-term trend. If 500 people went to see Surgeon last time he was in town, and 10000 go next time, one wants to know whether this will last (the way rock and roll suddenly got popular and STAYED THAT WAY) or whether attendance will be back down to 500 or worse next year. So I think it does matter what percentage of new folks at a techno gig are likely to develop an abiding interest in techno. I'm not willing to commit to demographic distinctions or hairstyle criticism or whatever, but I do think the difference between fad and trend is real, and relevant.
