So I was just surfing Newgrounds, checking out funny animations and stuff, when I checked my inbox, and my little brother had sent me a message saying that one of my songs made it as #7 of all-time top scoring songs. When I checked for myself, i was more than freaking surprised.
I uploaded that song in early August, and it took almost three months just to get 500 votes, and then over a matter of 3 days it received another 2,000, and 150 more downloads. I almost feel like I've won some sort of prestige.

Thanks everyone for helping me get there!

Now before any idiots read this and then leave me pathetic comments like "stfu noob, ur a techno h8er", let me remind you that this is an opinion of my own. I'm not God. What I say isn't law. So if you're going to troll my rant, please press alt+f4 and gtfo. :)

Recently, I just realized how much techno and trance is on Newgrounds. There's so much that I'm actually almost beginning to hate the genre. EVERYONE puts up techno and trance. EVERY popular artist is techno and trance. At least 50% of all the new entries are techno and trance. What is it with Newgrounds and this genre? It's occurred to me that every 12-year-old kid who gets their hands on FL Studio wants to make techno. I don't mean to totally annihilate the genre, but to be honest, all I ever hear is "Un, Tss, Un, Tss, Un, Tss" and a random tune to go with it and it gets ratings and reviews like "H0Li 5H1T COW! t3N OUT OF T3n!!! OH EM GEE uR mAi F4v0r1t3 NG ART15T!!!"

Techno is freaking easy to make. Synth, Gate, Arp, Kick, Clap, a couple of automation clips, and there you go: You have a techno song. Don't get me wrong, I've made techno songs (and I now hate them with a burning passion. I'd delete them off of NG, but I want you all to see just how much they suck compared to my newer stuff.) but that just goes to show that anyone can do it.

It's also occurred to me that a majority of zero-bombers are techno-loving 12-year-old failbeans who will submit a song overnight and bomb everyone else's so that in the morning theirs will have a better chance at being in the top-five weekly. Ever wonder why there's ALWAYS techno and/or trance in the top-5-weekly? (Except this week, thank God)

Now, before I wrap this up, let me redeem myself. I have to admit that there ARE some really decent techno tracks out there on NG. I mean the type that aren't just "un, tss, un, tss, un, tss". The type that actually took ~real~ valuable time to make. They often variate in beat, rhythm, and tempo and contain a plethora of fitting sounds and instruments that will keep the song fresh for the whole duration. I know who mA1 F4v0r1t3.. *ahem* Oops, I mean.. I know who MY favorites are, and it's because I know they put effort into what they do. The crappy artists just eat lots of spicy food, unleash diarrhea into bucket and then record the sound effects and upload it onto Newgrounds with a beat added by FL Studio. At least, that's what I did with MY first song. What?...

Anyway, techno/trance isn't all THAT sucky. Just the majority of the Newgrounds type.

Let me show my appreciation for the genre by advertising my little bro, who has ever so patiently listened to my occasional rants and not told me how much of failbean I seem to be because of it.

His username is DaveGuy, and he has some techno tracks that I really have to admit are pretty decent. You may find him here: http://Daveguy.newgrounds.com/

BY THE WAY:
If you agreed with my rant above and decide to zerobomb him, I will appear in your kitchen and drink all your Kool-Aid and leave you thirsty forever.
