Is it just me (Im thinking thats the case) but is it extremly hard to categorize this band. What genre should you but them in?

Synth pop

isnt techno like 100% drumpatterns that kind of form melodies (thats what what i thought). In that case silent shout isn't techno.

it's techno. very stripped down form of techno but it's techno
