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?

Does this mean France is winning the electroWar?

When will this hit mainstream America (not just people who read blogs and watch Yelle videos)? Hopefully it isn't picked up by the same goth/raver culture who used to bring glowsticks on strings to high school.
