It looks like techno may be losing its young, sexy edge and be headed towards middle age.
According to the Detroit Free Press, this year’s Movement Festival attracted attracted the minivan set:
There appear to be more young parents than ever in attendance at Hart Plaza, eager to introduce their children to the percolating electronic music beats they grew up with. Many people who’ve attended the previous six festivals — or were part of the city’s dance music scene well before that — now have kids of their own.
Curt Malouin, 34, of Northville has attended every festival since their inception in 2000 and decided to bring daughter Maya Malouin, 6, to the festival for a second year.
“I’ve been listening to techno pretty much since it started,” said Malouin, wearing a beat-up Underground Resistance T-shirt, a longtime Detroit techno collective known for its militant and political stances concerning the genre. “I thought x this was good chance for her to get exposed to the music and have fun.”
