    Why do they? Why not rock and roll or rap? I hate rap, but I know some people like it, so why dont people use it?

    techno fits penspinning, try making a video with like a rock song and the rock song seems out of place (for the most part some songs will work) you just kinda get a feeling for these things

    idk, personally i feel lyrics becomes in the way of the spinning, unless you use it like ponkotu who matches the lyrics with the spinning like in Penspinning Promo 13 and 27 (i think it was them)

    lyrics just take away from the character of pen spinning (especially rap). instrumental versions of rock songs would work.

    fuck that i think techno is getting cliche for spinning. it does goes well, but so would other genres, youd just need to rock a diff style, techno is good for the hyperactive spinning of today... itd be nice if they at least threw in some dubstep!! oh baby

    I spin to techno cos i can spin to the beat. I get like a rhythm when i spin to techno, and its easier for me imo

    techno has a quick beat which goes with most spinners, unless ur like s777 who has a slow spinning style

    its not just techno. any music that has a great bass/rhythm/beat is good. Most pop music fits well, but probably not rap. Rap is about sex most the time (drugs and violence otherwise) you don't want a rapper talking about how he's gonna do a girl while you're penspinning. Rock, well, its too hardcore to fit psing imo......... (my mentions about rap are AMERICAN ok?)

    First of all, they don't always. As to why the majority do, it tends to fit the fast paced nature of spinning, techno is often uplifting and with simple catchy melodies this helps drive the video forward without detracting from the spinning. Also, maybe it's the music the spinner primarily listens too, so he's spinning to it because he likes the song.... :]

    Retarded. There is TONS of rap that has nothing to do with sex drugs OR violence. even eminem, one of the most violent rappers, has songs about love and friendship and other things, songs that move people. what about kna'an, made waving flag? i dont think he even has ONE song about the sex drugs or violence your referring to. check this song out bro [video=youtube;i_wck_PT_QY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_wck_PT_QY [/video]

    Penspinning is really hi-energy, very fast and spinny and flashy. Electronic music just fits. Rap is too laid-back, I think. Just a guess, but it makes sense =)

    @Tinybizzle , not eminem really, but i bet most all the other rappers in america. I know MC Solar is a rapper (FRENCH) and preaches world peace in his raps.

    Im sorry Tinybizzle, but you chose a horrible song to try to prove your point... Because that song is about violence (getting through it) and references drugs... lol, but I do agree, saying rap is all about drugsviolence or sex is false and ignorant.

    @drgripable No dude, eminems got some soft shit check it: this ones for his daughter: [video=youtube;S9bCLPwzSC0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9bCLPwzSC0[/video] this ones for his dead friend proof, its got some violence in it but thats not the concept of the song right. this one always gets me: [video=youtube;C-f1naekRRc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-f1naekRRc[/video] this one is just beautiful, amazing lyricist: [video=youtube;1wYNFfgrXTI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wYNFfgrXTI[/video] See, no violence sex or drugs :D I WIN!!!!!! ^_^

    lyrics get in the way of the beat, thus annoying when synching the music with the spinning, and i find rap stupid

    Techno brings out the quick spinning pace most of time. T here's some dubstep songs that are pretty awesome too since they slow down at parts. It's difficult sometimes since it's really quick paced. I spin to anime music, jpop/rock. It seems more fitting.

  27. Soren
    Date: Fri, Jun 3 2011 22:21:42

    the rythm fits with the spinning

    Most lyrics don't really go well with the spinning, so spinners use techno songs mostly. But it's not always techno. Sometimes it's Trance or Pop (not really ^^). But I listen to Japanese songs, and I use it sometimes. Or K-Pop, or techno, or whatever...

  30. Flarion
    Date: Fri, Jun 10 2011 02:31:46

    Well, I agree with most other people, it fits well because there arent a lot of words (assuming you pick electronic/house, etc, not trance or dance) For instance, I would like eto use this song in a collab at some point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6OkujW0Kz4 Great beat and good melody Also, techno music can be more bouncy and random, like spinning can seem (particularly powertricks/aerials with the "bouncy" feel)

  31. crinix
    Date: Fri, Jun 10 2011 21:51:08

    Cause it fits well as many said, like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey0hixdDQtM

    Date: Wed, Jun 15 2011 03:59:51

    i like techno... but id rather have a song with like the song in JaPen 6th or an instrumental from a song.

    I hate reviving threads, but I honestly feel jazz works. [video=youtube;NjiDMp3glQk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjiDMp3glQk[/video] Although, it could just be that because I listen to jazz, it's not strange to me. :dunno:

    Date: Sat, Aug 6 2011 13:50:38

    u can always spin to gnar dubstep. that would kinda hard tho

  35. fang
    Date: Sat, Aug 6 2011 14:49:53

    Techno, metal, classic, jazz.....Doesn't have part what ur style of penspinning is? I mean, look to Gisele 8, he got alot of techno in his video's. But look to his style, it is related @ the beat. personly I think classic music works very good with penspinning, while I usualy spin with metal.

    so,now that this tread is "alive",you people could give me a list of good musics(techno,metal,rock,and whathever)for me to use in my videos?

  41. Gisele 8
    Date: Thu, Aug 11 2011 01:18:21

    i feel concerned :D yeah i'm clearly one of the main roughly-called "techno" user in my videos and bpsc videos... ofc that's what i listen, that's why i live and i don't choose musics for my spin, i choose a spin for my musics haha btw, techno beats (lets say like 140bpm) fits the standard spinning speed theres no often lyrics so it's quite neutral and do not distract for the main point: the spin techno songs also have an easy-to-edit structure, for collabs => good intro length , highlights, catchy melodies and outro rock get pwnd by youtube copyrights... classic may be too complex to spin to... jazz dubstep and so have too slow beat i think mm

  43. Ed
    Date: Sun, Sep 18 2011 00:06:53

    Lol, I reckon it's because techno is usually very fast and upbeat, which just suits pen spinning (because it's very fast).

  44. gyrobius
    Date: Sun, Sep 18 2011 04:58:03

    Although many different kinds of music can suit pen spinning, I think the easiest choice to go with is techno.

  45. Kari
    Date: Sun, Sep 18 2011 07:52:58

    I feel people use techno because of the beat. It's easier to keep beat I think if one spins to techno than say some classical music. I use it because I like spinning to songs without words or with very few words. In a case where I feel like listening to something more like rock, I usually either don't keep spinning long or listening to music long. Or both as a matter of fact. Techno and psing just complete each other IMO.

    techno's beat mostly fits to ps and for me it can improve spirit when I listen to it while spinning ^^

  49. JackyMacky
    Date: Wed, Sep 28 2011 23:15:17

    I think people use techno for copyright reasons too. Now whenever you put like songs such as Rihanna's, Katy Perry's, Duck Sauce's, Maroon 5's, or by any widely known artist, Youtube always puts a copyright thing onto it and block the sound from a certain country/region or even everywhere. For techno, however, there's no copyright restriction since the techno may not be widely known. If you want to give credit, all you do is just type in the description the name of the techno, the author, and credits go to him/her.

  51. SuiXidaL
    Date: Thu, Sep 29 2011 13:06:50

    It's not just techno. But the majority of collab songs don't have much lyrics, so the only genres of song that don't have many lyrics are dubstep, trance, electro, dnb, liquid, techno etc.

    It all depends on the editor. A good editor can edit to anything, but seriously, who can watch pen spinning with some kind of symphonic music playing in the background? Techno just...fits.

    I understand the typical reasons for using "techno" for videos but I have zero designs on using anything other than hip-hop or some dirty as hell metal with a sick double kick.

  60. FingerNotPen

    cause people spin fast, techno music is fast? if people spin slow they use slow music?

    Date: Thu, Jan 17 2013 22:28:38

    Because techno is fast paced which kinda matches pen spinning. People want to listen to things that they seem fit them the best.

  64. PERSIST
    Date: Sun, Jan 20 2013 08:14:35

    I guess it fits, but I don't see techno ALL the time, but then again I can't distinguish what instruments are being played very well either.

    I have a theory that the reason it is used so often is because its a fad atm. Where as this could be considered an electronic age, electronic music is most accepted at this time. A good example would be how the chance of a dubstep song being played in a tv commercial is very high. I bet that if your in high school now and you go to your reunion later on in life and you watch your class recap video that some kind of electronic music will be playing. And naturally when things become very popular people tend move away from it so Maybe in a few years when a new type of genre of music is created that will be the most popular in ps videos. But you know, it's a theory

People will either love you for it or hate you for it Eminem I love rap :) not mainstream rap ( the only reason emimem is mainstream is because he made his style mainstream) But usually in ps vids I hear Chinese orientated music :) @DangoodwinzIFP

    I found that spinning to Skyrim's Tes V (at least, a modified version of it, I like Erock's "Skyrim meets metal") is amazing.

  71. taichi1082
    Date: Mon, Feb 4 2013 00:18:02

    JEB people use it because most Doujin-Groups produce electronic music of that type and they listen to it even outside of penspinning

    I saw some videos of a group a people spinning to one of beethoven's symphony O_o Well I guess techno because....it just matches...PS and Techno. That "rhythm" It could be because of our current state of music tech. Something like that. :D
