The only extent to which I agree with this is that *some* techno musicians may be concerned about it while they compose. Most don't care at all though. Why on earth should a detached subculture look to established arts for guidance or approval? It's mad. I mean it's cool to see the London Sinfonietta do AFX, but on the aggregate I'd rather let them come to us.
