I like Dota, dang now it's stuck in my head... but it's a good kind of stuck ;)
And the Fry Raves site is funny :D
The first video that you posted was of a type of techno known as Happy Hardcore (if you already knew that, sry), I have a friend who's a DJ who produces songs in that genre... lemme find one of his that I like... here:

Off a side note, BACK TO TECHNO!

If you hadn't noticed, I love techno remixes of songs :D
It's like I already liked the song originally, then someone comes and makes a good techno remix of it... audiogasm
OH AND ALSO how could I forget... two more. They're not strict techno, but still, I like em...

I didn't know that. I'm going to have to find more under than genre. Actually, Sandstorm and the other 3 I posted are all I really know of techno... oh, and Daft PunkQuote:

I'm not really a Techno person. I'm a Rock and Roll guy, lol. So based on the 5 songs I've put up, recommend me something :)
And your friend's was ok. I have finicky musical tastes, lol. It was good though
all your techno is crap! no, not really but this seems like populist stuff
as an officially pretentious person I cannot be populist
let's seeee

I have also been told to tell you that your videos are all terrible, and mohttp://www.dreamviews.com/f21/technooo-103238/#post1529318st of them are not techno. LET'S HAVE A LESSON.
Electronic music has many genres. Techno is just one! Most of what is being posted here is actually house or electro-house. Mostly electro-house. Let me explain the emytology of these genres.
TECHNO: Techno stems from Kraftwerk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gChOifUJZMc
and other European electronic music
becoming mixed with African-American styles of music like funk,
AND MOST IMPORTANT the technological advancements of the late 80s and early 90s. Techno was always futuristic music; it does generally not have recognizable samples, and often no recognisable instruments. Samples that are there (because sampling is always common) will often be cut up into unrecognizable pieces or processed into electronic mush. Nonsampled vocals are optional, and uncommon. Techno ALSO proceeds at a relatively fast pace - 135bpm to 150bpm
NEXT UP IS HOUSE MUSIC
House music comes straight from disco
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIXHks5z8Tw
frankly, it is basically just disco made with synthesizers and drum machines and samples instead of a live band. It is generally denser and slower than techno; it's less likely to have complex technological editing, and more likely to use acoustic instrumentation, whether live or sampled from old records.
DAFT PUNK ARE NOT TECHNO. THEY ARE HOUSE. House proceeds at 115-130bpm, normally; and Daft Punk does this. House samples more, and Daft Punk does this. House is also generally more popular than techno, and Daft Punk are very popular.
NEXT IS ELECTRO MUSIC. I have no idea what electro music is, actually. I think it has more snares, and less vocals. It's also less rigid in its drums. Take these examples of what the internet calls classic electro, make what you will.

Let's sum them up, to prevent you from reading all that
TECHNO
- Stems from Detroit, and Europe
- Tries to get the maximum dancibility out of the minimum elements
- Is more minimal and repetitive as a result
- Is constantly trying to get weird sounds and technical innovations
- Is more about the sound than the music theory
- 135 - 150bpm
- Doesn't sample or use very much acoustic instrumentation that's recognizable - will process it into weirdness
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQxEVhyvA0I
House
- Stems from Chicago, and disco
- Is basically disco with synthesizers and samplers
- 115-130bpm
- Samples a lot
- Is less technically advanced - will focus more on actual songyness than the sounds
- Uses way more vocals
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obWw1qrxt08
Electro
- I have no fucking idea
- I actually think electro is what you get when you Gary Numan
- Like, all that 80s pop stuff when you make it purely synthesizers
WHAT THEY HAVE IN COMMON IS THAT THEY HAVE A 4/4 KICK, and use synthesizers. This isn't good enough for you to keep mistaking them; you might as well say since Led Zeppelin and Queen both have high vocalists and guitar solos they are exactly the same.
of course this is probably all nonsense
Anyway, dumb pretentious rant over. Courtesy of no-name being angry
post of the year
also everybody you should all go to wikipedia and read up on the subgenres, they have a great number of good articles on all the distinctions, then you will be EDUCATED
incidentally it has come to my attention that this is actually in senseless banter, and thus is probably senseless and not justified in my rantings. to this i say thank god, i'd never get away with this kind of grammar in the real forum
Thanking for this post: Catbus
Also, I'm a fan of horrible electronic music.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PoZ8cqc5uI
Much thanks, Lsea, very informative. I had heard a bit of the origins and branching off of the subgenres, but you put it very neatly in an easy to understand timeline with examples. It was only the basics, but thank you very much.
I wasn't really thinking when I put "Techno" as the thread title, because what I really meant was "Electronic Music (of all types and genres) ;)
And yes, I have to admit, I'm very heavy into the populist stuff, think of me as being unoriginal if you will, but fact is I'm at least more original than most because I look for techno remixes of popular songs, not the originals >.> hehe (unless the originals are electronic already, and even then I still actively pursue remixes that make them even better)
Oh and Catbus, I actually like that song :D
I'm a fan of electronic music of the type you would hear playing in clubs, not as much the type that you would only listen to by yourself (you know what I mean... non-club)
Although I do like a lot of that too... I just like more club songs than non-club songs on average.
FennecFox: Thanks for the Deadmau5 song btw cause I hadn't heard it before :) (and welcome to DV!)
And Russian Privjet... I like that one... and All I Ever Wanted too... damn tho everyone keeps posting Basshunter :P
Since I'm responding I suppose I should unload some songs for you guys too, so here...
The first one's dubstep, but very well done so even if you normally don't like dub then check it out (I don't and I liked it so much I bought it on iTunes)... the video is pretty sick too
