The Techno/Hip-Hop Revolution

If you've been listening to any "Hit" Radio or Internet station within the last couple of months, there's no way you could have missed the drastic change of vibe - stretching into this new style of music.
It definitely evolved as David Guetta made his way into the American scene a while back, and since then, it's created a Revolution! I don't think there's any looking back.

We'll see as time goes on, a more pop-techno-hip/hop fashion to most of the "Hit" tracks, creating a completely new genre. I have yet to hear a name for what this is called other than "pop" (at the moment), but I'm sure the music industry will "pop-up" with something interesting soon enough.

At the same time, I'm totally feeling this new style! It's created something catchy, easy to dance to (other than the booty-shaking music that used to dominate clubs), and it's up-beat and fun! If it can't get you hyped, nothing can! I've personally added about 20 new Techno/Hip-Hop (Let's call it Combo for now) tracks to my music library in the last week.

I've always wondered how music changes. When I was younger it didn't really phase me how it worked, since I was always listening to Oldies with my mom, or Country with my dad. It was only with my friends that I would actually listen to the Spice Girls or Backstreet Boys, or that "Boy/Girl Band" music. I didn't realize the change as it was happening. Since then, I've always questioned, how does the style of music completely change through a decade or two?
Of course most decade music is pretty distinguished: Roaring 20s and Swing.. which continues throughout the 30s and even stretching somewhat into the 40's. Then comes the flip into the 50s music, with Elvis and the "Jukebox" hits.. which leads throughout the 60s - when another change drives in giving the "Hippie" music and what we now call Classic Rock (of the 70s and 80s). The Beatles sure did make a name for themselves. And so we continue on into the beginnings of Michael Jackson, Pink Floyd and many other well know names, creating their own genres as well.
Now you hear about the "Early 90s" which I'm not entirely sure what style that even is (I would consider it more mellow and relaxed), the birth of Rap and R&B and then further to the Millennium decade of Boy/Girl Band domination and the Hip-Hop boom.

So where did Techno come from? I guess it's been around just as long as some of our more recent styles, but as the Millennium Era music was building more and more in the United States, Techno was doing the same in Europe.

Finally!!! The two CRASHED together, forming this ultimate new phase of TwentyTen Combo. Just a couple great hit songs with awesome beats, our favorite hip-hop artists and some extensive promotion...
We've Got a REVOLUTION!
