Sometimes you really come across a scenario that expresses how unfathomably deep the tradition of sexism goes. The idea that Steinbeck would rather thank the man who literally just asked for the research papers for him, rather than the woma

Yeah it fucking ruined me and turned me from a very gifted kid into a non functional adult because I basically learnt to disengage with everything in my life and fail upwards. I find it really hard to get out of this habit and actually use

yeah I had that. For me I had an early childhood like these kids except my parents weren't even that active in accelerating me. My dad gave me a science book for middle schoolers when I was 4 and taught me my times tables. That, along

I'm not going spend my time collating links to help you when you say it like that. They're not unicorns. Nobody in the techno scene plays pre recorded sets and women are no more liable to do it than men. I'm sorry that you&#x

Agreed. EDM just means Electronic Dance Music. The issue is that it has also become the name of a generic genre of such music that is terrible and that is the visceral image most people get when you say the acronym. But that image is inaccu

Honestly it's more complicated than that. At the same time that techno was being created in Detroit, EBM was being created in Germany and the UK. When techno came back over from Detroit, it as influenced by those things. So modern tech

When you're condescending and make bad faith arguments, people will find you frustrating. I'm not sure why you want to emulate your grandparents by dismissing younger people's creativity just like they did to you. Open your m

Again. Going to a festival does not mean you're going to a good one. Most of the best music happens in clubs in the underground circuit anyway not at "burns", which sounds like the most gentrified, millenial techbro yuppie ga

Bro talks to me like I don't know what Drumcode is. The biggest titan in techno music to the point that people literally call it "business techno" because it's so oversaturated. Yeah I know drumcode. I know who Derrick M

Fr. Don't know why you're getting downvoted. The bitter people in this comment section who think electronic music died in the 90s clearly wouldn't know a good club if it slapped them in the face and it shows.

Tell me you're out of the loop without telling me you're out of the loop. As someone in my mid 20s, techno music is booming and it has zero EDM/house/trap influences. Everyone my age thinks EDM is cringe, it was a trend

I mean no, a tuna onigiri is real tuna in fresh rice. Which is not like hitting all your micronutrients but is just relatively healthy. Similarly you can wash that down with unsweetened green tea (so hard to find outside of japan). Snacks t

If you speak Japanese you will have a waaaaaay better time in Japan. But no they will not ever accept you in the same way you could be accepted in a European country. If you're Korean or Chinese you might get away with it with the youn

I guess its a nice idea but really what California needs is less NIMBYs forcing all housing developments to be detached houses with gardens, instead of affordable housing blocks.

Yeah I agree as an electronic music fan the idea that this track is particularly special in terms of digital stereo even at that time seems weird to me.

Fr. I find libertarians so laughable because I'm like... your ultimately free market would just lead to mega monopolies that would go from being warlords to emperors real quick. Which would immediately destroy the free market.
