fine rebuttal, but there *was* a general underlying common drive. Every
youth music movement has had a general drive, be it war or whatever...
So I invite someone to say, the techno movement has
_______. fill in the blank.
Youth
The common underlying factor in all of these situations is not really a
goal, but youth. In youth we are all very emotional, therefore we make
things to be passionate about - be it art, music or anything else.
I am not saying that ALL people have to be "young", but the emotions and
feelings associated with such movements are related to youth (or the feeling
of youth.)
We all associate our emotions with these underlying goals and thus,
movements are made. Sometimes movements bring out this emotion in us,
because we can relate to the things that are transpiring.
I think the things that today's youth are inspired and emotional about, can
all fit into the blank. Racism would be an easy out, but I do see that as
motivation for _some_ works. There will always be that Angst in teens, and
that emotional cloud over the head of the youth..
Let me add another disclaimer:
I don't by any means want to make someone feel that I have no respect for
all of these other causes that have already taken place and had "their"
respective musics and\or arts. I feel this youthful passion just adds to
things like the rock of the 60's/70's movement.
So, although we have no pinpoint cause to found a movement around, we still
have the same feelings and could have the same result, given a sound cause.

BTW, I often sound heated in typing, I am not, I enjoy this debate, in fact
I just submitted a paper to the sociology dept. today for review (albeit,
dealing more with the rave scene)
