Start The War On Minimal

[Darkmode]

I found this group on facebook looks like a lot of people are getting sick of Minimal

The minimal is so bored,I always compared it with a faucet half open with little drops falling.

[xes]

some people must like it though,cos it's got a following.

I have an idea,and I know it sounds batshit crazy,but if people don't like something,then they don't have to go out and dance to it,or buy the music.

or they could just sit around and bitch about it........

On a forum?

whoever heard of such a thing. :lol:

[koma]

thank god there's so much innovative dark and hard techno, that will be our weapon

right :coffee:

Music is Music. Some like certain types, some don't. Opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one.

wow all of ermmm 190 members...

you know what,

i really don't see the point of hating on a style of music. i used to do it myself, and i put it down to insecurity and boredom. if you believe your music is best, why waste your energy? put it into your own music and bring something positive to the table instead of stroking yourself under your computer desk.

maaaan some people must be spending a fooooooortune on tissues ;)

I can see where you are coming from Mark it is a bit imature if people say their music is better than another genre of music I do admit I'm not keen on Minimal but I won't go around saying that my music is better though

Forgive me if im wrong but i dont think that's what mark meant...

Big up what you love, rather than waste energy on dissing what you dont...

right on, mark. Nothing appeals to everyone, and one person's shit is another person's manure, so to speak.

however, deep down, most minimal-haters in the techno world are really just deeply insecure about the fragmentation and decline in their much-loved and much-treasured scene, and see minimal as a threat.

come on guys, it's just musical evolution in action! get over it! techno is living, growing, it's not a static thing, locked in the past. if it can't handle a bit of variation in style across the genre then i'm not... er... right.

anyhow, back to those old orbit mixes thud thud thud thud...

Did you read the anything of group before coming to that conclusion? It's actually pretty silly...Sven Vath as the Cocoon Lord riding a giant elephant into war with the loop techno headz in his spangly hotpants? Whatever next!

Perfectly put.

Insecure Twats.

yeah, i thought all this mnml bitching was already passe

[The Overfiend]

Agreed, it's more productive to write or buy or support what you like than it is to naysay another genre altogether, regardless of what you think is hot, there is someone out there that cannot wait to hear the newest track on we are or syndikaat or the likes.

[djfilthmonger]

i dont hate minimal i just dont understand... its been hoggin the dance scene in waterford for a while now... too long ... but word from a few new promtors startin here ... some different for a change

[djfilthmonger]

just became a fan of urs darkmode.. anyone else on facebook?

[qUE]

Hahaha, yeah I had to put up with a fair bit of bitching from minimal peeps about hard techno. tbh this sort of backlash is bound to happen if a genre becomes elitest, which you've only got to look at the m-nus lot promotional tactics to see what I mean.

I can't remember the last time I heard panik attack in a minimal set anyway :)

[rhythmtech]

ill tell you what. there is some amazing minimal out there - check out format b's new album "steam circuit".. it bloody rocks

[System 47]

i love both..

check my mixes.. 01 is stripped back proper mnml & 02 is hammering hard bests..



i think theres a huge misread in the use of the term.. mnm, imo, is not what most ppl are claimin.. mnml is the sound of Basic Channel & earlier Plastikman & Mike Ink..

i like both.. but only the good stuff. i think theres as much 'bad' hard techno as there is mnml..

and what is 'bad' anyways.. surely its only subjective, therefore there is no right or wrong.. only what you do or dont like.
