nobody listens to techno

but seriously... maybe its because when electronic music first started being noticed by the mainstream, it was around the time that (detroit) techno was very popular, and it was refered to as techno, so then anyone who heard anything that didn't have a real drummer, called it techno.

but who knows, im guessing

Reason # 135

Gerald Simpson (a.k.a. A Guy Called Gerald) Left 808 State (the group in Europe) for a solo career in the United States(the country) and was quoted as saying "Technology created this music"....

which was years before it was ever thought of as EDM.

:cool:

hehe I always ponder this. I always think of people as ignorant when they call it "techno" and trust me I know when someone refers to all of electronic music as techno..but I shouldn't think of them as ignorant. right? Anyways, I take some classes at Wolfson Campus and on Monday(first day of Summer Semester) my statistics teacher tells us to introduce ourselves, and tell the class what we like and all that shit. Of course, I had to bust out with the "My name is Carlos, I was born in Nicaragua, and I absolutely love Electronic Music baby!!!! Oh, you guys probably call it techno sorry." "Well let me tell ya you're wrong......" And I was just about to take half the class trying to describe to them what it's all about but my idiot teacher interrupted me. FAk!!! Ohh! Sorry it reminded me of Monday. :)
