The most accurate post I've seen so far is
"An ETERNALLY mislabeled genre of music which has nothing to do with Moby, Tiesto, Chemical Brothers, or Fatboy Slim. Techno is indeed a broad sub-genre of electronic dance music (or EDM, what many people use "techno" inproperly as a blanket term for) which fulfills these following constituents:
1. It is in some form minimalist, whether in composition or in sequencing.
2. It is created for the sole purpose of making people dance.
3. It is constructed in a manner to allow DJs to quickly and expertly mix and layer 2 or more of these compositions simultaneously.
Due to it's building-block nature, true techno is closer to hip-hop than many of the genres (such as trance and breakbeat) which it is erroneously associated with. "
Some well known techno DJ's would be Chris liebing, Jeff Mills, and Dj Rush
and trance has nothing to do with techno, techno is a very very very very very very very very unground subgenre of music
"azns" dont listen to "techno" if someone tells you something like alice deejay - better off alone is techno, they are stupid
techno is its own subgenre of electronica just like house, progressive house, trance, hard trance, progressive trance, breaks (breakbeat), prog breaks, acid house, and much much much more

The type of music that cant be dissed or talked shit about. With lyrics or no lyrics it still sounds awsome and makes people wanna dance. It doesnt try to show off like idiot rappers (ie. 50 cent, Ja rule, ect.) Its a form or electronica music that has lots of energy in it and makes you wanna dance!
Techno and other types of electronica music are most commonly played in clubs because you can really dance to it!

*sigh* people have no clue, techno is not listened to by ravers, it's a form of techno most commonly called rave music.
Techno is everywhere, whether it be from subtle synthesizer based special effects to actual songs.
Please don't mistake rubbish for techno, it is a very unique form of electronic music, different to the rubbish played on kiss100 everyday.
Don't go with the majority like eminem, he even requires techno based background music, but then again rap is crap.

Very misunderstud sub genre of dance. You only here it played in clubs like lakota in bristol or dance academy in plymouth, you wont find it in clubs like ministry or gatecrasher, except on a very very rare occasion! If you own a ministry CD or infact any CD thats proberly charted it wont be techno!!!
Get a slammin vinyl techno tape back. Most popular artist are Producer, Scorpio and Mark EG when he starts of his sets usally. My advice listern to hard style alot better (e.g. M-Zone, Analogue Disturbance, Vortex, Mark EG when he's on form).

I remember 20 years ago or so, the word 'Techno' was used more similarly to the way the word 'Electronica' is used now.
Over time, 'electronica' has seemingly assumed its position at the top of the tree, and 'techno' has sort of un-evolved into a less broad, or more specific term.
"In the 80's we called it techno; now we call it electronica."
