I wish I lived in a country where electronic music was more vital to the economy than oil, corn, and telecommunications. If I lived in France, my life would be more authentic. It looks like a place where no1 is afraid to D.A.N.C.E. It looks like a place where u can be urself, even if that means wearing neon shirts and stuff like that. It looks like a place where things are authentic enough to keep me from becoming a blatant consumer-coreAltBro. A place where I can listen 2 music without worrying about the image attached 2 bands, and just appreciate the ‘art’ part of music. Sounds scary…but kinda rewarding.

So did yall go to the Techno Parade? Do u wish ur city had a Techno Parade? Or would you rather have them call it a “Bloghouse Parade” or a “French House FilterCore parade”? Did Jousteece and Yelle get 2 perform? (sorry dont really know what tecktonic0 is.)
Are Techno Parades the new Gay Pride Festivals/Raves/Local Festival that celebrates ur city’s lame culture?

Is there anything more annoying than a French person having a good time, yelling stuff that u don’t understand in French? Maybe I wouldn’t have had fun at the Techno Parade unless I bought some Rosetta Stone tapes.
I’m rlly still not sure about the differences between certain genres in electronic music. Have u ever been listening 2 some amazing bloghouse/electro, and some1 says ‘I didn’t know u listened 2 techno?” Does that offend u, yeah?

yes

It means France retreated into more authentic/traditional forms of electronic music while Australia presumably is still holding on strong to blog house, electroclash and ‘hooligan disco’ however I think we cannot ignore GB’s influence on the electro war dynamic.

they're techno. that's because techno is the least accurate genre description for postal service.
I <3 ironicies.
I <3 sarcastic beezies.
unaware selfawareness: most common trend among mainstreamAlties since 2kPservice? is that the 'altie breaking point?' do you go from PS to DCabC or La Bouche? When will La Bouche make their big comeback? Will they tour with Ace of Base/Spice Grrlz? Didn't one of the La Bouch Crew die from heroine ODs? isn't there a homage song by the PService about that tragedy?

all "evolved" countries should start their kids off with beer and wine at age like..8 or whatever like they do in europe so we can all party responsibly in peace.
maybe after the electro wars, we will all be one.

France may seem to be winning for now, but the Australian Electro Generals (Modular) are assembling an avalanche of electro cavalry that’ll devestate the Pacific and all beyond….the darkest times are not yet upon us.

Germany just won the minimal war with belgium.

electro war will be known in the future as “The Great 3000 Blog Years Electro War”

it’s sillie to get ‘offended’ when some (jackass) doesn’t know the dif btw bloghouse/electro/BNGR and techno.
also, there’s good shit coming out every month in pretty much every genre of d.a.n.c.e./electronic, it just takes a lot of digging through all sorts of garbage–everything from boring ‘minimal’ to terrifying and awful euro-techno, to BNGRs that sound like fucking CIRCUS MUSIC. sorry beetroots and crookers :( sounds like jiggy drum and bass to me.
