This isn't helpful for anyone who is trying to correctly identify electronic sub-genres. Not only is it objectively inaccurate information regarding Tiesto's main genres, you've also made a very subjective definition of whatever it is you're calling "vanilla". Again it's unhelpful to anyone trying to learn.
.

well I mean, you're kinda just splitting hairs to begin with...

how would you describe "vanilla techno' without someone having any knowledge of the genre?

"kinda boring and not good anymore"?

Exactly correct.

Vanilla means you HAVE to have some sort of varied knowledge and base knowledge of the genre in order to understand even the first clue about such a term.

I mean, as someone who was around the birth of synths and went to study audio engineering around the rise of acid house, it's a bloody wide genre that not only requires a knowledge of the various width of the genre, but time too.

Because back then in the early 1990s vanilla techno would have been a sub-genre of rave that lent to things like Inner City and Detroit House. Regular house would be an umbrella genre, and rave would be a newer more upbeat genre formed out of acid house.

But nowadays, it's likely something completey different.

hey, that's super neat tho!

I grew up listening to a lot of old classic rock from around the era synths were starting to come into "mainstream" music(I think? it was a little before my time personally)... tho it wasn't something I appreciated on it's own til probably around the early-mid 2000s with "techno"... tho I guess by that time it was also kinda "mainstream" with stuff like tiesto :P

tho I definitely remember there being a general attitude towards that type of music, a lot of people generally associated it with raves and drugs and such. I never cared what they thought, but it's nice to see it being appreciated more now.

And classic rock.

Really, I had the Wolfe Tones played by my cradle (to my mother's annoyance), and probably my biggest influence is PDQ Bach, who after 60+ years is still a god to immature-but-serious music students.

Yeah it was a fantastic time to be right in THE place (Manchester) as it was happening. Going to legendary places like the Hacienda regularly with friends and meeting a lot of the people at the time was frankly something I'll never forget.

As for synths, the first album to hit the charts featuring the Moog Synth was The Beatles' Abbey Road in 1969. Yes, that long ago.

Through the middle of the 1970s, synths were predominantly used in classic rock, especially prog rock. It wasn't until the late 1970s and early 1980s when you had the ballooning of indie labels after punk. You had several "bedroom" artists like the Human League and OMD picking up the cheaper synths and being able to base their sounds around them.

The key here is price really. With prog rock and The Beatles et al we're talking big old modular synths that cost more than a house at the time. Obviously, nobody except studios and legends could afford them. They weren't exactly easy to use in a live settings either.

But through the 1970s things progressed and got more portable and cheaper. Roland, Yamaha and more especially started turning out synths that cost a few thousand instead (still expensive but more afforadable). This is when the likes of those bedroom performers started hitting the charts. Eurythmics, Gary Numan, and so on. They all either stumbled upon them or found them and miracles happened.

How acid house happneed was another step. This was now the mid to late 1980s. These old analog synths were not desirable. So they were cheap and unwanted and therefore black and poorer musicians picked them up and played around to make their own thing, and that's how magic was created there.

Especially the TB-303 - the little acid bassline machine. That was a Roland invention that was intended to be a little box for pub singers and buskers to use as a backing player. It was dreadful and flopped hard. But musicians noted these cheap units made squealing unearthly sounds if you pushed the filters and a legend was born.

It's a fascinating thing to track how technology and happy aciidents pushed music.
