I'll bite.  

I've been (vaguely) actively trying to learn stuff about
techno/industrial/goth/trance/whatever music for a little while, now, with
little success.  This isn't something you can really find out about by
listening to the radio, at least not where I live.  I'm too old/busy/lazy to
investigate the club scene on any regular basis, though the few times I have
gone to places like City Club I've liked what I heard.  
  So, how does one become/stay hip in this collection of genres?  What's out
there, and how do I find it?
