ERm, HAHA!! So yu say in poland benni benassi is popular?
|
Hm? Do you mean techno == benni benassi? 
I dunno if techno is so popular in Poland... that's true, there are techno parties and stuff, but maybe because young people just like to party, and techno is better _for them_ than some 80s disco.

No no no no, read explanation here
I'd say hiphop is really popular though... sometimes I feel it's too popular... |
Same problem in holland

hiphop is a nuisance all over the world because it appeals to the people at the bottom of the social, economic, and intellectual levels.
There are a lot of people down there apparently. |

Depends really. I think that it can be horrible, or wonderful - it just depends on the person doing it. Check out some Aesop Rock, old 2pac, Outkast and Cex - I'm sure one of those will connect with you enough that you don't just disregard it.
Besides, the beat structures on good hip hop are incredible so you could just appreciate it from that standpoint.
To cast aside an entire genre of music offhandedly is a bit of a mistake. |

I wasn't laughing at you, Sagal. It was my misunderstanding I found amusing. I know nothing about techno and I'm not going to study it.

I have an article from a New Scientist magazine which sheds some light on why music has such an effect on us. Here is a more interesting part:
".... Some of the most popular rhythmic paterns in music reflect rhythms in our bodies, especially heartbeat and breathing. And as the psychologist John Sloboda explains, some of the most imporatnt emotional "signals" in music echo human vocalisations. If you play around with music the same way we play with speech when we are expressing emotions - raising or lowering the voice, say - the music, too, sounds emotional.
"This, he says, might explain the universal appeal of many forms of music, since basic human emotions are common to all cultures....
"Sloboda points out that a key aspect of our emotions is that they are tuned to detect change. The change may be something positive (falling in love, winning the lottery), or negative (sickness or the death of someone you care about). Either way, the message of change is: pay attention now! We are incredibly god at recognising patterns and, more to the point, deviations in patterns. Since music is essentially pattern in sound, it is not hard to see how it can "hook" us with subtle variation in melody, structure or rhythm. As people listen to music they pick up on the patterns and make predictions about what will come next - without needing any formal musical training. And when those expectations are violated, the musical surprises inevitably prduce emotional reactions."
One interpretation of the way music is described here is this: someone listens to a piece of music, identifies a melody/theme he or she likes because the "vocalisation" somehow represents something they feel more primitively. The same could go for rhythm.
