    well that's a pretty close minded statement...Britain is the source of much of the best music of the past 15 years
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Some die just to live.

    all DJ's suck. techno is for homosexuals and brain-dead x poppers.

    but i dig oasis, bloc party, and a few others. they don't all suck.
  • TheHotRockTheHotRock Posts: 71
    you like oasis.......so your opinion isnt valid. Also, electronic music is not all techno....fool. Oh yea, studies have been done, peopel who listen to trance generally have higher iqs than people who listen to hooky crap.

    you listen to electronica/techno/ambient/trance/whatever bullshit term you want to use for music by people who don't know how to play instruments... so your opinion isnt valid. man that was easy. anyway, keep relying on your studies make you feel better about your iq man... then you don't actually have to prove anything about it.

    i just hate electronic music. it's the biggest hoax ever perpetrated against mankind. learn an instrument, then maybe i'll be impressed. i think the iq study only reveals that the only people willing to listen to that tripe are people with way too much idle time to sit and ponder things without ever actually doing anything.

    Who are you to define what "music" is? What exactly do you define as an instrument? If you dislike electronic music, that's fine, express your point and leave it at that. No need to insult people who may have different tastes in musical style to yourself.

    Anyway, keep on relying on your insecurities and prejudices to make you feel better about your sexuality man.......

    Man that was easy :rolleyes:

    I don't have to do that anyway, because HotRock hasn't proven shit: Somebody just wanted to sound impressive, so they made up an impressive statistic. That's all it is. A fictional statistic.

    techno/trance and other electronica is what happens when white man tries to make his own music by ignoring the roots of rock and roll. :D:p

    this is what we like to call the smoking gun that proves electronica-heads are tools. what the fuck does that even mean?

    in any case, i was only taking the piss in the first post. not my fault you take yourself too damn seriously.

    it's easy to dance when every song of the "music" sounds exactly the same and you never have to worry about a timing change... not to mention when everyone around you is coked to their skulls on x so that you could be masturbating with your stupid little glowstick and pacifier and they'd think you had killer moves under that strobe light.

    Electronica is an ever broadening concept, and much of it is deliberately experimental, owing to many musical forms other than conventional rock, or even dance. Only a small amount of it is generic techno fodder. There's a lot of interesting electronica coming out of Sweden, right now, for example.

    I'm all for musicians and producers trying to make new sounds, even if it means using setups other than guitar, bass and drums. In the right hands, I think electronica can convey a range of human feelings and nuances of experience, which your traditional, neanderthal three chords couldn't begin to articulate. If that's ignoring the roots of rock and roll, is it a bad thing?

    if i allowed it, the white stripes doing 'little bird' could easily turn into my raison d'etre. add the drones doing kev carmody's 'river of tears' and i could be set for life.
    and it's what is done with those co called neanderthal 3 chords that gets me going. and perhaps i am a basic person, but the majority of the time that's all i want. sure i branch out but it's what gets me going deep down inside my own self that i care about. and electronica doesn't do it for me. my daughter exposes me to enough for me to know that.

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Hotel Yorba... basically 3 chords throughout.. and yet all i want to do is nod my head, sing along and tap my feet... beautiful stuff can be very simple!

    electronica creates a necessitude for complexity

    Without some of the great British bands of the past, Pearl Jam and many of the other great American bands would not even exist. I think it's pretty narrow minded to make that kind of a bold statement.

    Nah, they started their world domination on layered vocal harmonies and a huge repertoire spanning everything from the three chords of Eddie Cochran, through the more sophisticated soul pop of Goffin and King to their own formative compositions, with often used quite harmomically complex chordal cycles, and unusual middle eights.

    So there. :p;)

    Wait until she brings home Brian Eno's "Ambient 1: Music For Airports". :D

    i just fail to see how pushing buttons on a computer makes one a musician. beethoven wrote symphonies and played piano while he was DEAF. that's a musician! ;)

    If Beethoven were around today, he'd use a big row of oscillators, and orchestrate music according to speaker vibrations. ;)

    Eno takes pride in not being a musician, but in many ways he's more of a musician than an archetypal thrash guitar twiddler with hyperactive fingers and no sense of tone, because he uses unconventional methods to create art from sonic textures that enhance mood or consciousness. Whose music seems more interesting, novel and inspiring to other musicians, listeners or writers: Eno's or Yngwie Malmsteen's?


    The Wikipedia article on him is pretty good:
