Electronic producers in the 90's had more talent than all of the music scene now coz they created actual music and legendary tracks OUT of the sounds and different effects. Now they are just putting that shit together in whatever way they can thinking its 'edgy'.
Its a lot harder to come up with catchy melodies and make actual songs than it is to put a few sounds together on Ableton and put a beat underneath. And that is a perfect analogy to modern western society. Too lazy to put any effort into anything of value.
Saying that i do like a lot of the different electronic stuff and when its done well with hip-hop, like clipping. for example with actual talented musicians, it is outstanding. But not when its shitty third rate 'spacy' beats that a 5 year old could put together.
