History of Rave Culture
The idea that "techno usually has NO message, no image etc. it is faceless" is certainly not one that is embraced by enough of a majority for it to be considered an intrinsic property of techno itself, but rather an indication of what Mr./Mrs./Ms. ALLES NAAR DE KLOTE is getting out of it. This is an important distinction that needs to be made, I think, when discussing exactly what the nature of the state of

Art History
The most prominent artist of his day, Giotto has influenced Italian art in many ways. Giotto's figures are forceful, monumental, some even might say bulky. His paintings are intense, slow-moving, building up a rhythm to a supremely climactic style. Giotto achieved a convincing representation of space and background. Not only was he an amazing artist but even more amazing that his talent was inherent, not taught in any school but enhanced by his mentor Cimabue.

American History X
I'm not scared... I'm through with it... I'm done. "American History X" is an unflattering and often disturbing look at the roots and consequences of racism.

Instead, it portrays the scourge of racism as an endemic and self-propagating problem, festering and feeding upon itself, resulting in distant consequences both unexpected and tragic.
