Maybe, but grunge is dead, something that PJ has yet to fully understand. Electronic music on the other hand is always expanding its limits, and afx & uziq are still active. Ok, it's probably just namedropping (like John B said), but you can still get the point -- and you would probably say the same thing when a "rock" person asks you the question "What do you listen to?", as I'm sure you won't start by saying that you listen to the latest IDMlist remix chain, the guy couldn't even relate to what you're saying. And to get back on the Flaming Lips subject, at least I think Wayne Coyne is using electronic sounds in a good way (imo), as opposed to the Scorpions. Sebastien === Sebastien Dalphond, B. Soft.
