But why is it that some of Europe seems to have a different idea of what techno is to the US and the UK?? Some of what they call techno just sounds like the darker, rougher end of hard house/trance. They definitely see things differently to us. Seems if it's not funky or euphoric, or if it contains an acid riff then it's techno in their eyes. That's how you end up with fools like Scooter proclaiming themselves to be techno. I know it's an old topic, which we've had a few times, but there really does seem to be some differences in definitions of techno.
