• Why do people hate techno?

Evidently not, because I didn't say or mean that. If techno is done with a keyboard, or anything that involves using your hands to make the music [I]dynamically[/I], then it's music. Vocals adds to that.
What does using your hands have to do with music at all? Music is basically sounds made to a rhythm. Whether or not it's made on a computer has nothing to do with that.
It's not only your hands, you could use your face or even your dick as long as it's [I]dynamic.[/I] Dynamic meaning performed live (real time), then recorded, or just performed live in general. I hate that "music" that's produced statically (as in, done not-real time) on computers. It's as much music as a bucket of rocks is "edible"
It's still music.
Hypno toad... You're just dead wrong. How is it not music? It has JUST as many themes as any other sort of music, and has as many listeners as any other genre of music. Sorry about your whole "Holier than thou" attitude.
you're making richard sad he's tries really hard you know

[QUOTE=hypno-toad;17523914]Take my analogy. it's as much music as a bucket of rocks is food. You can eat them, but that doesn't make them food.[/QUOTE] But your analogy is just fucking wrong. There's no redeeming factor about your analogy. It's just fucking wrong. Techno is as much music as anything else. Just because you're fucking closeminded doesn't mean anything at all. Bands like Skinny Puppy, artists like Combichrist, Psyclon Nine, just about any of the other bands break your argument to shit. If you don't like it, you don't like it, but it's still fucking music.
All those bands do live performances and use instruments... Maybe read my posts before raging out. [editline]edit[/editline] I'm still not a fan of techno, simply because I don't think it sounds that good, but the thread title is "why do some people [I]hate[/I] techno" I hate the techno that is done on computers.

Almost all music is run through computers, and made to sound good BECAUSE of computers. Even the techno that is done solely on computers is STILL music. Regardless of live performances, it's still music. :wumpscut: in 25 years of making music never once has done a single live performance, but are a classic of industrial music. Your guitar is as "human" as my computer. It's all music. The input is still carefully controlled. I play guitar, bass, drums, and do a lot of computer work. I see the similarities between all. It's all music.
There's a big difference between music recorded/ran through computers, and music made on a computer. Besides, I do dislike a lot of music ran through computers. It's a sound I don't like..

I do sound engineering/sound teching for fun and trust me... almost all music is run through it, and edited with computers. So you better just grow up, or stop listening to music.

You know if I throw in a drum beat I could make a song out of the clicking sounds the ban button makes
Hypno-Toad needs to listen to Autechre, imo.
