A coordinated mix of electric sounds that some cultists refer to as music. Sometimes believed to be an updated version of disco. Characterized by a drumbeat that always puts a bass drum hit on the downbeat and a mm setting of c 150. Often, a hi-hat hit on the upbeat and closed on the downbeat accompanies the persistent bass drum hits. In addition, there is always a complete lack of musical instruments, as all sounds are simulated on a computer. Most often listened to by a male demographic between ages 12 and 25, teh vast majority of which is uneducated in music and incapable of playing an instrument. Synonyms include "signal indicator" and "alarm clock," while antonyms include "music."

Techno isnt really music. techno is electronic sounds coinciding to some kind of beat. Only when applied to some other form of music as a joke or backround sound can it then be "labeled" as music.unless at a rave. By itself it is literally nothing most people would want to listen to even if offered money. (possible exageration)
There is no way i can give an example of my opinion of techno. Words cannot discribe my dislike for it, usually.

The Techno Viking is a tall, muscular, charismatic, intimidating, German man that danced for the camera in Fuckparade 2000 (a techno street-parade in Berlin Germany). It is said that he has appeared in other years to follow as well. The Fuckparade developed in reaction to the music restriction (exclusion of Gabber music) and commercialization of Love Parade. Additionally, it broached the issue of the techno club "Bunker" being closed. The most played styles of music in the Fuckparade are Gabber, Speedcore, Techno, Punk, and House.
The Techno Viking was made famous because of the "Kneecam" recording of a blue-haired girl dancing, then being crashed into by some unruly guy, causing the Techno Viking to snatch the guy up by his arms and shove him back where he came running from. The Techno Viking then pointed at the man and gazed with an extremely fierce glare in his eyes. An aura of fear eminated from the Techno Viking, causing the man to step down from the confrontation. The Techno Viking then started dancing wildly through the streets after being given a water bottle from one of his fans.
Some opinions say the Techno Viking is becoming more popular on the internet than the "Chuck Norris jokes" because the Techno Viking shows to be a dangerous man if provoked.

"The Techno Viking doesn't dance to the music, the music dances to the Techno Viking". This is the most popular catch phrase being used by YouTubers about the Techno Viking.

A techno head is a particular kind of fan of electronic dance music. As their name indicates they tend to be particularly fond of techno. Furthermore, they are often quite buttoned down in appearance, and perhaps even somewhat nerdy. They have a deep love of the music, and go to parties for the purpose of hearing the music that they love, rather than to get drunk or high, or even just to go dancing.
They are very particular in terms of their taste and can come across as pretentious or arrogant, as they will only dance or enjoy themselves at a party if they really appreciate the music being played.
Also, they appreciate discussing the music they love with others who share their love of the music.
