In the end we have to be honest, Techno just isn't good compared to all the other genres of music there are, and it won't be until the day comes when pigs can fly, and kids think that it's a good idea to take the candy from a stranger in a park.

Techno Music is the Biggest Mistake of the 21st century
In my school Techno has become basically the most popular genre of music, about a good 60% of the school listens to it. Which kind of ironic, because let's be honest all those huge quantities of people that listen to Techno, as well have Rock, Hip-Hop/Rap, Hard Metal and who knows, maybe even Jazz. But for example a hardcore fan of Rap, only has Rap in their iTunes library, not a mix of Techno and Rap. So at times I get confused, because all my friends that love Techno also love Rap, so why not just switch? Rap is just better. The one thing that I think I find uninviting about Techno is the lyrics... THERE AREN'T ANY! What type of music doesn't have lyrics? Not a good one. Now I think that the refreshing part about listening to music is that people can relate to the lyrics, because I think everybody loves the moment when they sing along to a song, not because they like it, but because they have to, because there is some sort of bigger force pushing you, making you sing. But let's be honest, how can a human being relate to monotone sounds, that in thirty seconds intervals a weird guy screams "We hit turbulence." That just doesn't make a lot of sense when you think about it. Plus, believe it or not, it takes skills to write a song, and a beat to it, or in band to coordinate everything so the song can be good. But how much does it take to go into Garageband, search for all the "techno" loops, and then put them in a straight line, it doesn't take much skills. Lastly I think that it's impressive the way that all artist, whether it's Rock, Hip-Hop/Rap or Heavy Metal, they can make rhymes. For example, the first time I heard a rap song I was amazed because I didn't know that so many words rhymed with each other. Yet the first time I heard Techno I was amazed that somebody had lived in the basement of their Grandma's house for such a long time, they thought it be a good idea to create a music genre called Techno. And the worst part is that it was called Techno because when they got out of their Grandma's basement they saw talking pictures (TV's), talking typewriters (Computers), talking bricks (Phones) and all those objects made the same monotone sounds, and everybody called them "Technological Advancements."
