Victims of Hardstyle

The French techno scene is a fairly new movement in Paris based around hardstyle techno, more commonly known as the tecktonik subculture. This subculture is no different than any other in that it's participants have a standard style of dress, makeup, hairstyle and most importantly style of dance (which constitutes their behavior). This subculture was created by techno. How did music create a subculture? Why did this happen? I intend to explore how that's possible since I (as an American) don't understand the premise for such a deep connection to music or the openness surrounding the music (such as the willingness and therefore ability to let go, especially in public). This connection stems from freeing oneself of all inhibitions, societal and otherwise and simply letting go. The United States has no comparable movements; movements have created types of music, but types of music have never created a subculture or movement. A subculture so centrally based in music is enigmatic to Americans who couldn't possibly understand this intimate connection. Even French adults (parents to the teenagers and kids in their 20's participating in the movement) don't understand the movement or where it stems from. In this cultural encounter, I want to learn not only the history of the movement and the premise behind it, but why I cannot be as naturally uninhibited as these individuals, and why Americans as a whole cannot be as connected to the music. I intend to explore this subculture through research online; videos on youtube, blogs and any other forms of reports available (as there are few printed resources on tecktonik so far). I also plan on interviewing a Parisian friend of mine for his personal experience with tecktonik and finally I hope to engage in my own tecktonik experience, somehow.
Another facet of this subculture that surprises me is the lack of drug use; generally techno is stereotyped to be the kind of music that drugs (LSD, acid, ecstasy etc) are associated with as necessary for the enjoyment. Of the few techno niches in the United States, drugs are a huge part of people's love of this music. In Paris, their love of techno is pure and untarnished by drug use (for the most part).
The photo above is tecktonik. Within this one image, it embodies all that the movement is about; freedom of action, dress and sexual preference. These girls are dressed as any tecktonik killer would be and are acting as they wish, which appears to be the whole idea.
