don't blame the guidos; blame disco
yes yes, we all hate that techno crap they play after hours at clubs. And i take it personally when people blame the italians for it. It's really not our fault and not all italians listen to it. I will admit that a large majority have succumb to the stereotype - only a minor technicality. The real culprit here should be disco music. Disco deviated from the big band ideology that formed when the jazz and rock n' roll genres emerged. Disco had to be weird and only focus on a DJ. Yes okay, disco probably gave us the pop music we like today. I mean, i will fully admit that i have and always will have an obsession with justin timberlake and life would be meaningless if i didn't have him. But hey, if we never had disco, then maybe there wouldn't be wannabe guido DJ's running around everywhere. THINK ABOUT IT.

I can't help but respond to this post! First of all-the title of it is hysterical. I'm glad you brought this up Giana-and interesting enough, techno music is huge in Eastern Europe and Western Europe as well-and especially in Ireland......its crazy. All of my cousins over there were obsessed...and I was dragged to a few techno clubs while I was there both times. Back to the association of Italians and techno....I have a feeling Jersey Shore didn't help!!!
