When ever anyone hears trance they call it techno, since when has techno been the stereotypical electronic music?

Since Pump Up The Jam.

Well, most people called the apparent genre-starters, Kraftwerk, techno, the name just stuck.

Yeah yeah, May, Atkins, Saunderson and all that, but people don't know who they are.

Nothing fucks me off more than a fan that thinks a DJ can do no wrong. There is a lot of good music out there. How some people can be so easily pleased is beyond my comprehension.

because they dont have a clue what techno is.


they think its "blue" by eiffel 65 or a happy hardcore remix of the tetris theme.

Since 2-Unlimited kicked out "techno techno techno" most likely. In the UK, you don't hear "techno" much any more, and people associate it with that kind of late 80s cheesy synth crap. Most people who don't know anything about EDM just call it dance, or if it sounds pretty heavy, they call it rave.

thats pathetically true

Because the emmergence of subgeneres is, histroically speaking, relatively recent and popular culture has not updated it's rolodex since it was all techno.
