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.
Don't a lot of the people in the US think that Paul Oakenfeld and the Chemical Brothers are techno?

Jus sayin, it's not a geographical issue it's simply that there are uninformed people everywhere.
I will punch the next person in the nuts if they think Chemical Brothers are techno....And a really hard kick for thinking Oakenfeld is techno
