Thing is though that scene was always backwards looking and, from
what I know, resisted anything that wasn't from detroit. Techno isn't
really like that.
While some what you mention above is true (I don't agree that it was
backwards looking as a movement - only the clubs where keeping it in
check), I think the biggest problem they had was with the "hardcore"
at the nights that demand faster tracks and keeping everything very
narrow, if it didn't fit - it was out!
Yeah true. My knowledge is a little patchy on these things :)
Which, as you point out, Techno doesn't really do that. In fact I'd
say there's more chance of techno people embracing it but as the next
generation of kids grow up an discover music they certainly don't want
to be into the same sh1t as their parents....
True, but that is what happens to most generations. They do listen to
what their parents were listening to, just presented in a different
way, done with a different attitude and done with a different drug of
choice. The music might be similar but the culture is different.
Anyway...I could natter on about this all day but it isn't good to over
think these things and I better get some work done :)
