B. Without a doubt.
Altho I would not say techno is in a poor state(some techno peoples attitudes are)but it allways has to be pushing forward musicaly there are no boundries but there is a certain amount of rules if you whant to keep it techno(or good techno)
In my opinien if you make or play techno you should be trying to do somthing new and creative every time you power up your gear.

This ensures that techno keeps its edge.
