Whoa! Heh..I apologize if I seemed negative with my earlier post.
I'd hate to be thought of as one of the many nasty people out there
on the internet (trust me, I've run into most of them).
My only point was that years back (when industrial was much bigger
than it is now), there was most definately an attitude against anything
percived as being intentionally dance oriented - 'disco' or whatever
people would negatively term it. There was even an attitude by many
of the 'noise indutrialists' against the bpm bands like Front 242..etc.
I truly don't belive that the modern/current sound of techno began
as some sort of offshoot of nitzer ebb and skinny puppy (although I happen
to still listen to those records frequently enough ;) I actually see
more influence from the early 80's breakdancing scene than I do from
the gloomy noise mongers.
As far as being elitist against the industrial crowd is concerned,
I think that's pretty unlikely considering how heavily I was into
that stuff when I was a bit younger. (Much more into it, I dare say,
than any of your clubby friends are- but who knows?)
Maybe I should just start a new email address so you can send me angry mail
whenever you're feeling down?
