your techno example is funny as when techno got popular it wasnt experimental anymore but use the same scales and harmonies of western culture in a different context. what have that to do with prove you right?

First of all, you should know about general fallacies of logic:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum

Secondly, you should check out whether microtonal techno exists at all before rejecting it's existence as well as it's popularity:

http://www.surus.co.uk/ultramajic/qlinda-23479.aspx

"Qlinda" is equally celebratory, utilizing microtonal shifts in the stereo field and exuberant sampling before morphing into a half-time ooze.

And this:

A new microtonal track from the new album... The pitches come from the harmonic series. Many composers use the harmonic series to give their music a pure mathematical harmony. At times this harmony can sound wonderfully meditative

Ain't exactly Beethoven, is it? And there are many others if you care to look for them.

If you had read my post just above your first lol entrance, you would know that neither Beethoven nor Monteverdi was popular at their time. On the contrary. So if you had lived then and used your crystal ball on these composers, the predictions would be that they would never be popular and that we would still listen to classical music made 200 years before their time today. By the same token, techno -may that be western scaled or not- wasn't popular 30 years ago but is today, which you wouldn't be able to predict either. And finally you won't be able to predict whether e.g. microtonical techno is standard in about 200 years. However, even if there are still only a few listeners to microtonal techno in 200 years, this does not say anything about it progressiveness or quality.

And I write this as your internet friend for educational purposes only, not to bring you down.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about and have never really looked into this stuff before.

You're just running in circles here however ranting about how things developed while remaining completely ignorant of why.

Just either admit you don't know and go mope about somewhere else, or try to contribute something useful to the thread, please?

Jancivil; actually some people have rational minds unlike yourself

If you want to view music as an irrational art-form you're free to delude yourself, just go do it in some corner somewhere away from the rest of us please.

but hopefully anyone who isn't brainless gets along just fine

Perhaps they're both professors of bogus nonsense?:)

etc.

Yeah. Boo-hoo!

this is why we cant have nice things...
