- Everything You Need to Know About Techno
- (but was to lazy to check up yourself)
- by Ralph 124C41+ of PowerDrive
-
- Hi there, dear reader. This is the first complete collection of
- knowledge about techno ever published. It will tell you absolutely
- everything you can possibly need to know about techno. But let's skip the
- talk and get right into it!
-
- THE TALK
-
- First of all you must learn to talk in the right way, the text above is
- totally wrong for instance. It would have sounded something like this:
- "Yo MaN! dIG dIZ! fUckInG aLL yA nEEd Ta KnOW aBouT tECHno! I wuz FiRST,
- nO meSS!". Actually you don't talk that way, it only how it's written. If
- you feel uncertain about what letters should be in capital case you can
- use a dice or install a random number generator in your keyboard. The way
- to talk is harder to describe but here you could just put on some
- sunglasses and keep your mount shut at all times. This is called to be
- "cool".
-
- MOVING
-
- There is one move that is *very* important when it comes to techno, it's
- to point an your knees. In my research I have not found why knees are so
- important in techno but my preliminary studies indicates some kind of
- kinky sex. I'll be back if I ever find out.
- The move itself is made by first sticking out your arm about as a bird
- wing on a slightly mentally insane seagull, keep your hand flat with all
- fingers together. Then you just point at your knees. Do this with both
- arms at the same time. This is done every time you say "Yo!" and a great
- deal of the rest of the time as well.
- If you find this move to hard you can just put your hands in your
- pockets and stand like that. To have dark glasses helps a lot in this
- situation. This is also a part of being "cool".
-
- DANCE
-
- This is the easiest part because you can do pretty much what you like,
- but some basic moves is good to know. A very common one is to stand
- up with straight arms, then you move your right arm up so that it becomes
- horizontal, then you take it down again and do the same thing with your
- left arm.
- Another common move is to stand up and shake without controll, just fake
- an epileptic attack and you should do fine. If you are an epileptic you
- are on the safe side, four your convenience there are lots of flashing
- lights put up so that you will have it easier to have an epileptic attack.
-
- CLOTHES
-
- Clothes are very important, you must create your own style. This is
- done by wearing exactly the same thing as everybody else. If you don't
- know a lot of people who is into techno you might find it hard to know
- exactly so let me tell you. First of all you must have some shoes, most
- people into techno choose Converse All Stars so get a pair of those and
- you should be on the safe side where footwear is concerned. The rest of
- the clothing follows one simple rule: loose fit. Just steal your old mans
- jogging outfit and no one will ever be able to tell you from any other
- into techno. Another idea is to go to the Weight watchers and ask them for
- their old clothes.
-
- COMPUTERS
-
- Computer knowledge is very important if you want to get into techno. You
- must simply forget everything you know about computers. This might be a
- bit hard but just pop down to your friendly local drug dealer and ask for
- something to give you amnesia.
-
- DRUGS
-
- Drugs is very important in the techno scene, but the choice of drugs is
- important. The basic rule is: never take any legal drugs. Beer, booze,
- cigarettes and coffee is totally out of the question. Some things you
- should try is LSD, XTC, PCP, PVC, DDT... Everything you need will be
- offered to you so you will never have any problems finding what you need.
- Sometimes you will be offered energizer drinks, brain drugs and such
- things, they are often very expensive but they will give you energy to
- keep on dancing. They can also be found in the local supermarket, except
- that there it's called "orange juice" or "sugar" (just add water).
-
- MUSIC, listening
-
- The big problem with listening to techno is to tell the difference
- between the tunes as they all sound the same. A good advice is to listen
- for which word is used the most (often just a single word is used in the
- entire tune) and assume that it is the title of the tune.
- It also good to learn some of the famous names, this is, unlike other
- music, not the one who made the music or she one who speaks in the tune
- but the one which is shown in the video. Often aliases are used like Mr
- WC, Dr CP, Strawberry Ice-cream and Dr Dengroth.
-
- MUSIC, making
-
- As mentioned above the most important when making techno is to have a
- "cool" name, any actual musical talent is not necessary and often it is
- just in the way. Start with a beat, you can either sample it from some
- other tune or try to make it yourself (as some grown up to assist you).
- Then it's time to put in some melody, the most common way is to sample
- some old Kraftwerk tunes. If you don't have any Kraftwerk records you
- could use a random number bass and let a cat walk over the keyboard when
- the synthesizer is set to some fancy sound. Then you must think of the
- lyrics of the tune. The easiest way to do this is to open a dictionary and
- pick a word. Then you just pick some kid of the street and let him say
- that work a couple of times. Then the tune is finished and the kid gets
- all the money, fame and girl. Hey, no one said this was easy!
-
- MUSIC, working as a DJ
-
- If you just are to play techno at a rave or something, like can be very
- easy. There are several records with techno ready mixed so you just have
- to start one of those and then concentrate on the actual as a DJ, to get
- as many girls as possible in bed. This is often very easy because as DJ
- you have the power over what tunes to play and you'd be amazed what girls
- can do to to have their favorite tune played. You see that techno can be
- rewarding as well!
