I never think techno was ever alive in USA. Just the producers.
Rave kids and glow sticks does not mean techno culture.

lets try and keep the words "rave" and "techno" out of the same sentance




but you are right ....

but it is better this way as pop-culture sucks

i mean how many people reading this thread were into the "New Kids on the Block"

This is always a funny comment. It only dies for the people who were never really mentally ready for it anyway. Its a philosophy,a music, a way of thinking and a way of life.
The glow stick kids and the press hype have nothing to do with it.
Go to any keyboard company and ask them if techno is dead and they will tell you its not. Where do you think they get all their ideas for sounds from? Somebody has to have the vision to come up with the technics that are so commonplace in todays hardware / software.

Just a personal observation from the inside.

well said
also
as techno can seem to be small on a local level, on a global scale its fingers reach far

ultimatly its all about love for what you do. if you have it, it will show. and if it shows it can be shared!!

take jazz for example never massive but oh so good!!
