Meh, I use techno as a catchall. If I'm talking about techno-techno I'll usually call it electro, or what have you. Besides, it's arguably ambient.

I used to use "electronica" as a catchall and I hated when "techno" was used because techno is specific. However, I've come to realize that hip-hop, indie, alternative and pop are all electronica in many cases. Electronica describes the process (instrumentation) in making the music, not how that music is combined.>> ^bmacs27:

Exactly. Electronica is a bit too broad a term for me. I mean "club music" or producer music. I don't mean synth pop or hip hop. I think Techno is understood by most people to mean something broader than Motown four on the floor or whatever. The only people that get uppity when you use that word are pedantic hipsters that know the 6 other words for that specific sub genre anyway. >> ^rottenseed:

Genre obsession is retarded. Is being able to categorize music into different sorts of styles/influences useful? Sure. But I don't think very many good musicians set out to produce a certain genre's kind of music. It's the consumers, not the creators, who freak out over the genre label.

Fuck yes.

Before the term electronica existed, techno was the broad genre of any programmed music as opposed to music played with instruments. Since mid 90's popular culture uses the term techno in a completely different way to describe a very narrow part of what techno used to represent. To me electronica is and was a completely useless term since I already had a term for what electronica represents and I still use techno in that broader original sense of the word.
