Seems like UNESCO forgot about us in Detroit. Not to worry, we're used to it, and we'll party all the same.

Detroit deserves much more in its failed financial state to be made héritage of like anything… Urban heritage man, re u joking. Sadly no bright future for Detroit for the time being…

My bad. But the point stands. Complaining about a cultural movement that they have almost entirely gentrified is massively ironic.

I think the scene is complaining about tourists and "foreigners" was a bad choice of word in this thread. People are flocking to big names and entry prices are as high as they have ever been. It's less about the actual music.

And in that complaint I don't see any irony.

Do you have a lot of knowledge about how the techno scene in Berlin evolved and came to be?

I wouldn't say "gentrified", techno just evolved from the Detroit roots, first in the UK and then continental Europe (Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, etc.).

Techno came from an already gentrified African-American community in Detroit, the Belleville Three [0] were from a more affluent part of Detroit at the time, inspired by the 70s/80s German and Japanese electronic music scene, it was never like the roots of hip-hop...
