At the risk of falling into the same trap myself, techo (particularly the varieties called Trance and House) consists entirely of none to long or complex snippets of other people's work repeated ad naseum, and then ad infinitum. If, say, Stairway to Heaven is a Van Gogh, or even a Hooper, then techo is a Fark Photoshop thread of nothing but Ackbar cliches.

Ok I can't not let this go by. TECHNO is a seperate genre of electronic music. Why people continue to lump all electronic with "TECHNO" I have no idea. I'm not too fond of trance and I can understand the repetitive beat in all that. Now house is a different animal. House tends to be repetitive unless you listen to progressive house then it is on a progressive scale. It's a much better form of House music. To say that it is all other people's work repeated is simply unreal. The beat may sound the same to an untrained ear but believe me it's different. You can listen to DJ Dan and follow it with say Laurent Garnier (sp?) and you'll notice a huge difference. Guess what..they are still house dj's and producers. Anyway if you're going to hate one form of music at least give it a chance and understand the different aspects of it. I hate rap but love underground hip-hop. There's a big BIG difference. Anyway, if you want to listen to good electronic then drop some good Drum and Bass in the player and jam out.
