1. What's the first image that comes to mind when you think of Techno?

People going apeshit at a techno party. Lots of raw energy, even aggression.

2. What colours do you associate most with this music?

black

3. Who doyou think is Techno's main crowd?

everyone who seeks something different, something dark, something outside of the norm and the popular. People who aren't afraid to try something new, to go somewhere different and open their minds.

4. Is Techno associated with an era, a country, a culture? If yes, which?

Detroit only in as much as that's where it started and that's really the hub of techno today.

5. Does it contain a message or communicate in any way?

Be yourself. Be different. Open your mind to the music and the scene...allow yourself to go crazy on the dancefloor, allow yourself to get mindfucked with the music.

6. Is it limited to a certain age group. etnic group or gender?

To me, techno is associated with a group of people who like to be different from the mainstream....not an age group, not a gender (although mostly men...but the techno ladies are hardcore I've found! they looooooove it!). It is people who enjoy the darker side. (because I really do think techno is the darkest, most introspective genre out there. I also think it's the most versatile in what you can do with it or how you interpret it.)
