That track directly led to the creation of what you would call "techno"

Like what?
The use of synthesizers as early as the 60's, drum machines being used a little bit in the 70's, but taking over in the early 80's, stuff like Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream and even stuff before them and how that influenced music.

I dunno, I think that's pretty important, especially related to today when most everything has electronics in it to some degree.

I just find early electronic music interesting, and I would think a lot of music nerds would too

Raps fricking terrible bro. Not sure why youre still trying to defend that shitty genre. Whens the last time you saw a rap performance and thought "damn that blew me away"?

I like some Kraftwerk, but basically nothing else.

1. Country. It's all pretty terrible.

2. Too 40. Club hits are pretty awful with the exception of gems like Dark Horse or Fancy. All the turning down for whats sound the same.

3. Punk. I'm just really not a fan of it. The Ramones are about as deep as I divulge myself into it. It just seems effortless for the most part.

4. Jamtronica?* Most of it all sounds exactly the same and have terrible vocalists. Papadosio, tDB, The Werks, Brother's Past, etc.

*I guess that it what it is called.

I'm with Heady on this one. Rap is not mindless.

Hey you don't have to like it, no body has to like anything

I just said I think it's important for people who consider themselves well educated music snobs to know about that sort of stuff to some degree. I like it, but I can understand not enjoying it.

Like I think this sort of stuff is badass:

I like a lot of later punk stuff, like in the late 70's and 80's.

But the mid Seventies, 3 chords banging on your instruments and sneering stuff, yea, it bores me pretty quickly

Are rap and hip-hop the same thing?

Cause a lot of stuff made from about 88-94 is fricking awesome

After that it's really hit or miss, and mostly miss

Youre right. Only 93% of it is mindless. depending on how you define mindless, like most of the people that write the lyrics barely graduated high school . Theres zero musicianship involved and the lyrcal integrity is juvenille. I understand hiw a gdi still going to freds would think it sounds interesting or cool. Lots of trashy southern types do.

Outkast


Not really that good of a live performance. I think the roots are a much better live show.

Pretty good for rap. I liked it but not mind blowing.

Agreed. 80s was hip hop IMO. It was a different style. I wouldnt classify grandmaster flash as rap. It was a cool, small musical movement that turned into something very mainstream and terrible after biggie died RIP. The genres been purd shite for the past twenty years.

Electronics in music is hugely important to lots of genre. I referring to a specific genre called Electronic music. The one that I though contained Techno, Drum and Bass, House, Breakbeat etc. If all that is not covered under the Electronic Music umbrella than I stand corrected and apologize Dan. Whatever genre that is is my least favorite. Which was the question posed by the OP.
