Here's an idea: Why don't you listen to the kind of music you like, and let everyone else do the same. Not every issue needs to be a casue.

its barely music and its boring.

Nothing's wrong with techno. I like to listen to it sometimes too. It's just that most people who don't like it either A) don't listen to good techno B) don't pay enough attention to hear the difference, or C) just don't like it in general.
It's just taste...

Hmm , well i must say that my very tastes lie in smelly box....as for the rap music.. Mr Biggie Smalls said it best...Go around to 'Fives' at no.5 and show her your front botty.Therefore you can expand your theory of 'BABY GOT BACK'... oh and by the way, Johnnyo and i saw a particularly nice piece of botty bott at the Adelaide Central Markets on Thursday....dear god!!!! okeydoke..bless you all..The nasty girl who wanted to 'glass' me at BT's !!!

because its not really music. and its boring.

Ah happy hardcore thats the shit, I must say i'm from Europe, Scotland in fact and We still love this stuff although no has called it techno since the 1994 to be honest.

It has so many different types of styles it's unbelievable, like my favorite type at the moment would be hard/electro/trance.

But yeh Happy hardcore we still love you.

I love happy hardcore, electronica, rave, house, dance, and remixes until the dawn. I loove techno.

You are really boring to say anyone elses choice is worse than yours. So let me guess. Soft American Rock?

People do not like it because they want to listen to music that has some stupid image and lifestyle associated with it, like rap and most metal, etc. Techno is just plain 'ol awesome.

Techno is awesome. I listened to basshunter, kobojsarna and a few other bands before. I'm obsessed with Korean and Japanese Music now though.

The reason why you enjoy it is you are becoming more appreciative of the structure of sound. You will get your typical responses of "it all sounds the same" "its boring" etc.... but these people live in their own musical bore...

When one thinks of music to its purest form "Classical/Experimental" music is what comes to mind. The closest form of "Classical" music in modern times is "Electronic Music" which encompass different genres "trance""ambient"etc.

Why? because of the structure of sound, the layering is to take you on a journey. Ie. Trance music is cut into sections which the listener can interpret a story in their own way and take them on a trance trip....All without the requirement of vocals.... Music is based on sound not only on singing.....

Doof Doof Doof Doof.....

I love Armin Van Burren and I live in America and am a teen soooo...that goes against the stereotype.

Just let plain definition do the thinking for you. Techno is techno. Music, is music. Whatever you can think of, it is only itself, and it's really irritating to think anything else about it.

Nothing is "better" than anything else at ANY given time. Get over it, like Jim_Pfoss said, enjoy whatever you want, and everyone has a right to that.

If you are curious, I find techno to not be actual "music", but if you enjoy having your brain get raped by repetitive computer generated beats, that's your deal. Not mine.

I am an 18 year old male living and the states and I THRIVE off techno. I honestly could not get through the day with out it. Specifically my favorite sub-genres are trance, house, and electro. I like some hard trance and hard style. I suppose the reason why no one in the US seems to appreciate techno is that America is just a different culture of people. Europe is where techno was founded and where it took off, people of my generation in Europe have grown up with it so naturally they all take a liking to it just like everyone in the states of my generation grew up with rap and alternative rock so they all appreciate it rap and alt. rock. (Generalizing, not necessarily fact.) Those who take a liking to techno in the states are probably introduced it by a friend and they just took a liking to it based on personal preference. Techno probably would become much more mainstream if every major city started a techno radio station and it broadcasted on a regular basis, but unless that happens always expect it to be somewhat of a cult genre here in the United States. Unfortunate I know...

Don't think you're alone on this one, i know people that are in the whole Rap, Heavy metal bullshit... I myself fucking love the following: Techno, Drum and Bass, Jungle, Electro, Rave, House, Electronica, Garage, Dubstep, Progressive House. And it's funny, i've actually converted people to Dubstep from Metal...

Win for me bitches! HAAAAAAAAAAA!

I am doing a paper for my college english class about this very topic! i am originally from New York but now i live in the midwest, also i am European- croatian go there every year, so i am exposed to techno music and i love it! Every day i listen to it and it makes me feel great! but i am also confused on why people i know do not like it. in the mid-west our night clubs are lame, they play stuff like taylor swift and old songs, not any real stuff like techno or house music. in big cities like new york they have all the house night clubs and dance/techno radio stations. i love techno! i try to recruit my friends to listen to it, and most of the time the songs i show them they like it. which is funny because before i show them the songs they say "nobody listens to techno" or "techno sucks" but they ironically like it!

I don't like tenchno, but maybe 10% of trance is good to me.
