RE: {blog} The Maturing Of Electronic Music

Honestly, I think about that Film situation a lot. I've always been a bit younger in the Techno scene (well, not anymore as I'm in my 30s) but I still had a good sense of history about the music that I loved. I think a lot of it came from record digging in shops in my teens where I tried to buy as much used as I could used since it was cheaper and not coming of age in a time where everything new was accessible online. I grew up in the country where I had to learn about the culture through import magazines and books which gave me a sense of where the culture originated in. That whole Skrillex/Film thing really made me take a step back and see what direction the new scene was heading in and how disregarded the history of electronic music was. It was eye-opening. But you can't bring that up without sounding elitist and condescending to many of these kids. I personally don't even mind some EDM, I just want younger audiences to respect the people who developed the culture when attitudes weren't so open to this music.
