i mean, this was a problem in the mid 90's when big beat, trance, and all sorts of other crap was getting popular in the US under the blanket term "techno". people finally came up with "electronica" which is stupid, but is far better than stealing the name of a specific kind of music that has been established for a long time and applying it to other music that has nothing to do with it. just because people are using the term widely doesnt make it any less incorrect! and i just dont see why it should be accepted. tom
