[edit] Marketing ploy

All I heard about this "new craze" on the media seems to be a coordinated marketing effort. Seems like a way to sell clothes. In any case all of this seems fabricated.

Personally I live in the South and I've found the "new craze" to have very little to do with the brand :).GBobly (talk) 14:52, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Right, and the fact that it existed in its present form for about 6 years?... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.31.153.152 (talk) 22:04, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

What's weird is that the style is heaps similar to that which has emerged in a lot of Sydney's Clubs, yet everyone here calls it "Electro House". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.239.39.10 (talk) 04:13, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Electro house refers to a type of music, not a dance. Tecktonik has become a popular way to dance to Electro. --170.215.130.226 (talk) 04:38, 15 February 2008 (UTC)


Okay, I live in France, near Paris, and Tecktonik is just a trademark, not a dance. In the beginning of this craze people called this dance tecktonik, because it was born during the "tecktonik killer" parties in the Metropolis Club (Rungis - France). But the real name of thsi dance is "Electro Dance" in France ("Danse électro" in french), even if some people are still calling it Tecktonik. So I think that we should rename this article into "Electro Dance"... 86.72.192.49 (talk) 19:55, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nazi Symbol

I don't why it was suddenly branded as a nazi symbol but basic research shows that it's actually similar to the Heraldry Eagle which has a very different connotation. While still polemic, I hope no one will change this back as I would consider that vandalism.GBobly (talk) 14:52, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] (Factual error needs to be fixed) The tecktonik is not a show of gay-pride events. I'm wondering if the reporter did not mistake French techno parade and tecktonik concerts for gay pride events.

The reporter who wrote this article about tecktonik must have some homophobic prejudices. Tecktonik is not affiliated to any gay movement and has nothing to do with the gay pride. I found another wikipedia article about the dance(& style) and it looks so much more accurate and objective compared to this one. One should learn about the recent French Fads before writing such nonsense. A lot of Tecktonik dancers may look metrosexual, and the same is true for many young people in big cities like Los Angeles and Paris. So please elaborate investigation and try to get solid facts the next time you write about the "tecktonik".

(In US, gay pride events may feature a bunch of people with multicolored shirts and cyberpunk hairstyle, but don't be so closed-minded that you could mistake techno events for gay pride events. Americans tend to think that techno or electro music is a music genre for gay people, but they also chose to ignore the fact that techno and electro music has gained a huge success among French and Europeans. The majority of which has perharps never thought about having sex with somebody from the same sex.)

My point is don't make people think that tecktonik is a gay fad and homosexual dance, It is not! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.204.153.105 (talk) 07:59, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rungis

Tecktonik was not invented in Paris but in the south suburb of Paris. The Metropolis night club is located at Rungis (Val-de-Marne), about 10 miles from the Paris city limits. Clio64B (talk) 12:58, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
