Why is techno music so popular?

I mean, it's just like the same riff over and over again...with more stuff added until it sounds like crap. Why do people like it so much?

Haha this one time my friend joey started foaming when he was dancing, and he fell down

ecstacy:

you either die from being allergic (rare... if i cared i'd give sympathies)

or from dehydration/overhyration where you either drink booze or dont drink enough water to dehydrate and die.

or you get paranoid and drink too much water and die.

either of the latter ways, its their fault.

the allergy must be nasty though. :(

Electronica would be the best way to.. generalize it all. Not all electronic music is "techno." Myself, I'm a house junkie. I love the music. The basslines rock me. Being a dj.. I guess I kind of have to be a bit biased and say that I love electronica.
Mmmm.

And I'm sure you'd know because you've listened to so much of it!

So carefully, too!

Techno?

The repitition is what makes it great. If you have an ear for music and a good imagination, you can easily lose yourself in it. If you don't enjoy Carbon Based Lifeforms you are a loser and will most likely burn in hell for eternity.

Techno music is cool because Thomas Dolby freaking MADE it cool.

And by made, I mean MADE. As in MADE his own analog synthesizers.

Indeed.

Never liked techno, never will. It's easy to parodize it and put some mockery techno on stuff.

This thread is dumb. It's "Dance" music. The point is that people enjoy dancing to it. Not all of it is all that technically great or musically great, but generalizing it as all bad is just as dumb as anything else.

Alot of it is bad, though, I'll give you that. If you know what you're doing or looking for, there's good stuff out there that actually resembles music with song structure and everything!

I don't care much for techno or dance music, but that's really cause I don't give it much of a chance. Once I get a car I'll probably be blasting techno on my way to school and stuff. It's really high-energy music, so it's good to wake up to I guess.

That's because it's a joke thread. I wanted to see how stereotypical I could be before someone mentioned that I myself make electronic music. Apparently nobody did. :o

Just like all types of music, there is good techno and there is bad techno.

Trance is what people normally think of when they think "techno".... which is sad, cuz 99% of trance sucks. It's always the same simple drum loop, slightly different ambient pads, and some appregiated organ hits... all sequenced in an 11 minute extended club mix.... that's the stuff that makes my ears bleed.

No. Thats not techno. Don't get confused. That's like saying Creed is rock.

Electronic music is as diverse as any genre. What many people seem to miss when dealing with electronic music, is that much of the repetition is equivalent to the chorus in other genres. There are a ton of electronic artists that are very jazzy and have very little repetition. If you really pay attention, most music genres are full of repetitive music.

That's what I thought, then I thought for a minute I might have confused you with Thrawn (the other one) and so I just kept my mouth closed heh.

It's good dance music. It gives a good background beat to drinking games. While it's not something I typically listen to to pass the time, it's not a worthless genre (in my opinion).
