boomer professor declares melodic techno/trance war, probably hasn't heard either
A classroom scene where an elderly teacher in a yellow blazer delivers a definitive statement about electronic music genres to students at synthesizer workstations. Portraits of famous EDM producers (Richard Durand, Ferry Corsten, Paul Van Dyk) hang on the wall behind him. The joke plays on the gatekeeping debate within electronic music culture about whether melodic techno is actually trance music.
