i was also being a bit flippant there, trying to stir the pot in a way that might get some good defenses out of people. obviously didn't work. this was more my real opinion:

I'm not sure why detroit seems to solicit strong opinions from people as well. either excessive reverence or excessive disdain. It's bizarre. I love the music but not as an outgrowth of an arty punk sensibility but as part of a black dance music continuum, from which hardcore, jungle and garage are also branches.
I hardly ever seen excessive disdain though.
I mean, you've got people like the "liberators" (lame) with funny not really serious disses.
I really feel like the lone voice on this on thinking how 99% is overrated.
I'd rather listen and dance to quality non-electronic music like funk or disco than most detroit.
bounce your body to the box.
Maybe I need to bounce my head against the wall until I finally get it.
I think it's a pretty common attitude in certain UK and Euro scenes which don't really have that connection to funk and disco.
One of my friends loves freetekno and doesn't really rate detroit, which i find bizarre. so much freetekno is the lamest music ever made, imo...
imo techno and electro are the same thing, but ive always thought of
techno as open ended, hence why i consider a lot of the breakbeat tracks in this thread techno, even though strictly speaking they are hardcore.
him?
me?
I generally prefer my divas over "organic"
but what do I know about myself, really... I'll probably start thinking of another list of exceptions again 😆

I’m not sure I know what new junglists even sound like. In America a new wave of jungle adjacent music is called break core and at least aesthetically it seems techno leaning but I don’t listen to that either

I've stopped studying Hardcore and Jungle as I'm rarely in the mood. It's a lot more energetic than a lot of Detroit Techno. Maybe not always and they're intertwined in my head but a different lineage to both, only as far as Detroit Techno would have existed without Jungle but Jungle would have sounded different without Techno.
That being said, I no longer really know what these tunes were and who played them.
What's this? Just Jungle Techno?
Same for this?
This one even earlier.
