Why do people call everything techno?

Everything that features electronic elements is called techno. I just saw a lot idiots say about the new Mike Oldfield "I hate all that techno on it". I've seen The Chemical Brothers being called techno.

WTF IS UP WITH THIS? Is there some story behind everything being called techno by the general Joe?

...known from a videotape the two made when they met in March... in Dresdens home, Dresden amputated Gabriels penis and Dresden and Gabriel ate the penis together...Gabriel had insisted that Dresden bite his penis off; this did not work.. Dresden used a knife. When that knife turned out to be too blunt, Dresden used a sharper knife to slice the penis off. Gabriel apparently tried to eat his share of his own penis..but could not because it was too..."chewy". Dresden then sautéed the penis in a pan with salt, pepper, and garlic.

It's just a chain reaction. One person says it, everybody hears it, and after awhile everybody knows the term 'techno'. On the other hand, no one knows the terms "house", "trance", "electro", etc, so when they hear anything remotely similar with electronic elements in it, they call it techno because it's the only word that they know.

because in the past, genres weren't really divided, nobody said "trance", few said "house, so everyone said "techno". and it stuck for the mainstream.
