Electro-clash? Internal warfare more like...

Dutch electro scene unhappy:

Electro. Mediocrity has become the norm, the passion has been killed. Pretentious wannabe rockstars with inflated egos rule the mediawaves, cheap imitation clones with clown make-up on their faces rape the style, hyped up labels capitalize on it through slique A&R fistpuppets and mainstream culture - that two faced hydra - tries to assimilate it. Meanwhile white middle class consumerist kids with mohawks run around like lost chicken, eagerly lapping up the stale cum the corporate moloch spurts onto their spotty faces as their role models down another valium with a dirty brown sherry and drag themselves through the twilight of their miserable lives in front of a tv set where a video of Liquid Sky runs on repeat.

NO MORE.
We dont need the hollow catchphrases, the carefully created eighties retro fad, the empty music, the jaded cynicism or the poser attitude of the fake Gigolos who only sell their asses to the masses. You can all follow your leader into the electroclash HELL!

The combined The Hague Underground has shut down the airwaves.

Unofficial (as if!) leader of the "The Hague Underground" is I-f, well known for his Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass hit. I think it's all a bit ridiculous.

never mind the ElectroClash bollocks... JoB, what's happened to UK Garage? (rhetorical) have YOU heard anything worth getting excited about recently? in volume? personally I'm tired of trawling for small fish...

I-F is behind this? Then why did he choose big name acts Zombie Nation, Elektrochemie LK, etc as his remixers? Or are these select few excluded from this diatribe?

Wees niet zóó eigenwijs jongen Seems a bit self-indulgent to me, I mean is I-F's response to what he regards as electro 'mediocrity' to shut up shop and stop making music altogether!

I-F's "Space Invaders" is the Beck "Loser" of nu elektro

appologize for repeating what i've already said before but...

electroclash will always suck because it chooses to be far more reverential towards ultra macho DAF,The Normal and Fad Gadget instead of John Foxx/Japan/Takahashi/visage....its not enuff to look gay....lets try sounding more gay fellas...

"Ultra Macho Fad Gadget"???? thats just crazy talk

Bang OTM, Geeg - it's all a bit testosteroney for my liking. Mind you, Luke Slater's Alright On Top album is a total fucking masterpiece I reckon, and that's camp as a bag of frogs.
