What really is techno?

There was a time the media called all bleeps techno.

House is 4/4, warmer, rooted in disco and r&b

Techno is 4/4, colder and more robotic, rooted in synthpop and funk

Breaks/jungle/d&b took hip hop breaks, fused them with Jamaican MC'ing and harder techno

Trance is gay

house is techno with snares on the second kick

techno that has snares on the second kick that doesn't sound like house is called idm

House and techno are as varied and expansive as metal or hip hop, there's no real one sound for either genre unless you go back to the Chicago house / Detroit techno roots

This thing is older than sin, but it's still the best guide to the differences in electronic music on the internet:

>House and techno are as varied and expansive as metal or hip hop
more like shoegaze and dream pop

Oh my god I haven't seen that in years. I can't believe it's still up

This is to say, when you're into the music (house/techno or shoegaze/dreampop), the difference is obvious and huge, and if you're an outsider, it's harder to tell the difference.
