Inverse Perception

Since about middle school the music I listened to gave me my sense of Identity. KoRn, NiN, RATM, Marilyn Manson, Deftones, Soulfly. That in a strong sense is who I was. Shell-toe adidas, long hair, baggy pants, and T-shirts with those bands name on them. That was me. It was an awesome time. All those bands kept putting out kick ass albums. And I would feel a real sense of belonging watching their videos, going to their concerts, hearing words that immolated the way in which I felt and thought about myself. But at some time in high school. I'm not sure when the aura and sense of self began to fade from their music. KoRn seemed to want to keep their Fan base as young teenagers. Trent Reznor just kept being himself. Manson did to many Quaaludes or something. There is where the magic all began to fade. Around this time is when I first began to hear Techno music. I didn't really take to it much. But I didn't really hate it. Then there was DJ Micro. His first Tech-mix cd. It was like my eyes opened. I heard this truly beautiful music. I began to listen to Techno more and more from there. But still it was only an accent to the other music I listened to. Then RATM broke up. and Soulfly putout a dismal second album. and I was only left with Techno. With each new Micro cd I listened to the more and more absolute beauty I heard in Techno music. Sounds more moving than any aria or opera. Sounds more amazing than any jazz composer could muster. I found that Techno transcended every reason I had ever liked any music I had listened to before. Techno is by far more beautiful than anything created by man. I now only fear that the purity of techno will be tainted by evils of Capitalism Techno. I fear that I can even begin to see it now. Money before beauty I'm sure that's what killed the music I used to love beyond all else. I hope it doesn't happen again.
