Now already it can be considered a cult: you have a central figure in it (the DJ, MC); you have various means of changing the state of mind (often use of drugs, loud, low pitched repeating sounds); ceremony (dancing, light effects) and all for the sake of feeling the spirit of unity and worshiping (where worshiping would be directed to technocraty and, in a way, science - the drugs are often synthetic, the sound and the light are very often electronic and, partially, mechanic, the central figure acts as a contact between the worshipers and their goal). Since all of this (a central figure, changing the state of mind and ceremony) can be found, with the exact same purpose, in many early, and even contemporary cults, and since we know that a cult can develope into a religion, or become a part of some religion, do you think this could happen to techno (culture)? Also, would you agree that right now, it is a cult?

DanneAqua: believe me when I say that cult, in ethnological sence, and in the history of religion, comes before an organised religion, and that a sekt can only be derived from an existing religion!
P.S. - you think I should start the techno religion? But, how? I really dislike techno...

Lay off the acid dude. This is more wacky than Scientology. Sorry Tom, don't sue me.

A group can develop into a religion. A religion can develop into a cult. But not other manner around. (as cults are extremist, usually adverse) A smaller religious group that's beneficial to everyone be referred to as a sect.
But techno could definitely become a religion... A transcendental sect if wanted to. Why don't you start this sect then?

a collection can substitute top right into a faith. a faith can substitute top right into a cult. yet now no longer diverse way around. (as cults are extremist, in many situations unfavourable) A smaller religious group that's efficacious to all and sundry be suggested as a sect. yet techno could desire to truly substitute top right into a faith... A transcendental sect if mandatory to. Why do now no longer you start up this sect then?
