(in House music at least) Everyone seems to think that back in the day (80's) everything was mad better........ Lets not forget that AIDS EXPLODED during that time and drug use was just as bad, if not worse....... I mean look what happened to Larry Levan......thats worse than any glowsticker i know that got carried out on some stretcher. At least techno is more honest in it's roots. It was basically started because life sucks, and the music was a great way to escape. Read into it as you wish, but there are no emotional "love" type attachments. And AVH spins, "tech-house" so he should think before he makes statements like that.
