I'm sure if you called holocaust survivors techno they'd think you're at least kiiiinda wrong.

Maybe? I know Joey Beltram thought it was bullshit that his music was being labeled as Techno when he felt he was just producing a little bit darker edgier House music.

This is the same as saying that the only kind of trance music is epic trance music produced by dumonde and the like around 99


Techno has its roots wayyyyy before that, like 20 years almost

BONES!!!! (frankie that is)
Joey Beltram
Oliver Lieb
Cybotron
etc
etc
etc

you're fixated on one kind of techno sound i think, this kind of full on big room techno

don't forget about Basic Channel, the Ifach Collective, UR, Warp Records, The Black Dog, etc Techno is such a broad thing, I think brought together by conceptual clarity and rawness. IMO, prog is when artists begin to dilute the concept of the thing and move more towards a traditional 'song'.

I think techno is more about 'process' whereas prog is more about 'result'.

how many artists (besides joelz) do you see doing live prog PAs?

i would call marionette techno, but i can see why you would call it proggy. It's definitely fluffy, in the dark unicorn sense.
