OVERVIEW⇢

A combination of two articles that each tackles the origin and evolution of the music genre techno. Today, the genre is seen as a synonym to younger generations over-indulging in vices. It became something that is so menial and superficial, people forgot the whole political uprising it caused back in the day when it gave hope to those who constantly faced racial discrimination and were stripped off of their basic rights as human beings.
