When I was going to parties back in the mid-nineties acid techno,acid trance and hard house were all getting played together and if you look at labels like prolekult, TEC, boscaland, vcf, red weed, noom, etc etc you will see that the labels represent music from all of these genres.
Although you guys may see it as an insult that people think that acid techno sounds like hard house you have to accept that it kind of is part of it's heritage and background and inevitably some of it will blur on the borders of the two genres.
Don't see why this is a bad thing if you like it you like it, what does it matter what people call it?
