A word people use incorrectly to name all of Electronic Music.
Really, "Techno" is its own genre of Electronic Music. It consists of a BPM range from 120 to 150 and a 4/4 drum pattern.

The type of music that cant be dissed or talked shit about. With lyrics or no lyrics it still sounds awsome and makes people wanna dance. It doesnt try to show off like idiot rappers (ie. 50 cent, Ja rule, ect.) Its a form or electronica music that has lots of energy in it and makes you wanna dance!
Techno and other types of electronica music are most commonly played in clubs because you can really dance to it!

Who are you people? First of all, techno sucks it like the worst music ever made. Its all computer and looses the human carisma Second, it's an abrieviation of technosexual or a person who prefirs to mack an electronic device rather than a girl.
