well I've found that people who listen to music tend to be influenced by it. the people that I think of as making forward looking music either dont listen to outside music or they are more students of music than fans of a particular genre.

Electro is regressive, in my opinion a lot of "house" music is also regressive. form Robert Hood: "The starkness of it. It¹s just a stark expression." I've met people who have matured into house, maybe they are now into 70's funk records or just have an interest 80's music that helped influence Detroit techno. My theory is these people tend to have conventional taste in music, they may know how to follow trend but lack vision, they get into techno for what ever reason but fail to comprehend minimal, abstract concepts in futuristic design so they loose interest in minimal/ hard techno and embrace more traditional sounding music.
