Speaking of definitional debates, MEK, did you know that you appear
in an academic journal article on Final Scratch? Tosh appears there
too, believe it or not...
lemme know if you want a .pdf of it.

What I really wonder is if you can sharpen razor blades by aligning
them to magnetic north under their pyramid.
I think its reasonable to say that Daft Punk went in an electro
direction after their first album. if ONLY because they then had some
vocoders, arpeggiators and a few non 4/4 rhythms. does that make it 'electro'?
or maybe they just invented "electro-house"?

Shxt - Snoop is so much closer to what electro is and was than Daft Punk
are or ever have been
like I said, electro is hip-hop - electronic hip-hop & electronic funk
it's the meeting place between funk, as in R&B rooted funk, and hip-hop
just because Daft Punk uses vocoders and have disco/robot im

I think the best response to a typical discussion such as this is to try to
confuse the arguments as much as possible.
1. Kraftwerk claimed to be pop and cited how much they were Motown influenced.
2. Kraftwerk had 4-4 beats.
3. Is Prince pop or electro? Roger & Zapp? Dr. Dre sampling Roge
LOL! Maybe I need to start carrying around a vocoder.

I've given up to get all worked up everytime i hear this term wrongfully
used.
If someone says to me that its gonna be an "electro" party, i always ask
whether it's "ÉlectrO" (with a flat french teen rocker accent), or
"EE-LeK-TrOw" (with a robot distorted voice). If he doesn't get it, i say
goodby

Nail meet Hammer - bang! Exactly Ken. Imo the word and meaning of Electro
has been hijacked and the plane is in danger of being blown up.
"Electro" has been slapped on as a prefix because it became the hot word -
it sold magazines like Mixmag and URB, it sold fashion accessories at Hot
Topic, and
Problem is - Electro has always gotten the short end of the stick. It's
the forgotten brother/sister of hip-hop. Scratch that - Electro is
Hip-Hop!
After the 80s barely anyone paid any attention to it - from techno to house
to mainstream music. Hell, it barely got any recognition within hip-hop.

How do you define Pop? I would say that Daft Punk's overt manipulation of
image and how they present both their music and themselves is up in the higher
echelons of pop music alongside Kraftwerk, Sparks et al. In fact it's rumoured
that they have taken the latter's robot persona to another leve

their last album was very techno, it sucked, but it wasnt really pop
at all. its funny that "one more time" is a pop s
Homework is less pop than their subsequent albums. Imo Daft Punk as pop as
Chemical Brothers, Moby, Prodigy, etc. are pop

Hey, two songs off of Homework were nominated for grammys, how much more pop

homework is an excellent house
True say.
On the one hand we could take the chance to decry the futility and at times
laughable nature of genres and their names (usually a good thing to do). We
could also be magnanimous and reiterate how 'scene's change,' 'everything
evolves', etc. But on the other hand there is a worthwhile
Daft Punk make pop music
Would you classify 'Homework' as pop music ??
How about 'Rock n Roll' off that album ? Doesn't sound very 'pop' to me.
Maybe their subsequent albums, but Homework is an all time classic in my
opinion.

Fck that - just because a huge majority of people call anything with a
"dance beat" and synths "techno" doesn't mean that we should start calling
Paul Oakenfold sound "techno music".
Electro = Electronic Funk as in Egyptian Lover, Aux 88, Whodini, UTFO -
