What the hell is a stoner rock? Second, Funk had the 70s on lock. Third, Techno has already been over exaggerated through commercial Rap. For that to become a mainstream epidemic "as a whole" would only cause young'ns to revert very quickly.(Unless you live in Denmark that is.) Or unless the head honchos of the big three music broadcasting stations for television grow a flickering brain and change their promo directions.
And another thing, I chuckle at you guys bringing up Hip Hop being "talking over a repetitive beat" as if it's something to frown upon. Funk had repetitiveness in the genre. So did Soul. So did Jazz to an extent. And so did Reggae/Roots and Blues music. And yes, to an extent, so does Rock/Metal in general have it's repetitiveness. The bold being the biggest, if not the only influences to helping launch Hip Hop into the brilliant music genre it is. Why shouldn't Hip Hop have it's repetitive aspects in its sound?
Back then when Samplers were non existent, the only performances we could do was get a DJ to spin two vinyls; measuring to find a good length of straight breakbeats for the MC to spit rhymes over(off the top of his head mind you). Why two vinyls? Once one length of breaks is reaching an end, the Jockey switches to the next vinyl(that has to be the same for the whole thing to work) to play the same measurement. Back and forth, this was the main reason why we bring in our repetitiveness still to this day. It's a standard. Dishing down on us about this is like dishing down on Soul music because it's all so emotional. :/
Besides, if the beat knocks. Then the beat knocks. End of story.
