> the 90s IDM/jungle/trance is superior to modern EDM/house/trap

This is your own fault for going to EDM/house/trap parties. Go to better parties, then you'll find better music.

Fr. Don't know why you're getting downvoted. The bitter people in this comment section who think electronic music died in the 90s clearly wouldn't know a good club if it slapped them in the face and it shows.

I go to burns/festivals, that's what's typically on offer, don't blame me for society's lack of taste.

I enjoy Berlin minimal techno but it's not exactly popular.

Again. Going to a festival does not mean you're going to a good one. Most of the best music happens in clubs in the underground circuit anyway not at "burns", which sounds like the most gentrified, millenial techbro yuppie garbage I've ever heard and I'm unsurprised you're not finding the bleeding edge of underground rave music there.

The key word is GOOD. Not that you just go places bro. You're clearly unsatisfied with the music you're hearing at these events. SO FIND BETTER ONES.

To be fair, regional burns are basically Burning Man without the techbro yuppie contingent. A lot more randos, hippies, and weirdos. More like summer camp for grownups than a place to show off on IG or whatever people use these days.

*(Caveat, haven't been to one in the last 5 or 6 years so things may have changed. As always, "it was better next year!")
