for your information: i am 27 / have a lot of idm AND Digital Hardcore
stuff (i even have the TEST TUBE KID tape)
i have seen for example Alec Empire and Atari Teenage Riot a lot and i
can tell you that most people at that gigs
where "in their twenties".Same for the underground raves i went to and
the REAL harsh sounding scapes produced
by industrial bands.
but if you know the filosphy of Alec Empire then i have my doubts that
he would like to be put in a pigeonhole..
any way on the last ATR gig i saw the people weren't dacing at all but
slamming and jumping around and putting their
heads into the speakers.....raaaahhhh...
