This is an interesting point. Maybe the older lot were spoiled in much the same way the Boomers are viewed as having been re: economics. I saw a comment under a Ray Keith tune the other night saying the progression from '91 to '93 was staggering.Alot of Dissensias seems to be Gen Xs however, so I understand the critique towards retro after having seen constant innovation for decades. I have to defend retro in continuum genres though, as they were so short-lived. So good music, but for so short time, so why not make more of that stuff? Would suck to leave, like jungle, forever in 93-96.

It is weird that you can make the same house tune for 40 years and that's fine but jungle and garage you're not allowed.
im not questioning that rule btw just saying it's interesting those genres are tied to a particular period whereas you can make the same boring house forever. It's so boring it's universal
Szatan's article also alludes to the uptake of certain tracks by the Minimal Techno scene - if UKG is to ever break free from it's own mythology, I expect it will be via that scene's championing of it.
because its an endorsement that strips it of all social and visual info and identity?
