take cliched characteristics of certain music style. check

list them. check

make it seem like you are somehow above recycling of this type. check

by categorising and boxing stuff off like this, miss the point of the songs completely. check

despite satirising something for being repetitive, unadventurous and lacking originality, slap yourself on the back about a joke which makes minimal seems fresh and new. check.

now you have made a joke about minimal techno.

oh no, i was just joking about.

just realised i laid into you about something else on a different topic a few weeks back.

sorry. was just having a bit of fun again.

take care.

oh noez. not again. damn are we doomed to repeat this until the end of our days?

haha. i'm not going to hide and say i did that on accident. i meant to write a snarky post

damn the internet for making things ambiguous.

k. i'll strike the bitter and anger from my post, and your sense of humour isn't questionable either

once i get my whitenoiseatron, i can make proper tracks.

i would like to yet again extend my sincerest apologies.
