Because techno is the grandaddy of all modern electronic music genres.
Before anyone was listening to house, jungle, breakbeat, trance, IDM, etc.
they were listening to Techno. Everything after that is just a sub-genre.
Techno is actually a very logical place to put IDM.
12 years ago if someone asked me what kinda music I listened to I'd say
"techno". So, as far as I'm concerned everything that came after is just an
interpretation of the genre.
Techno is the master genre. It defines the category of electric music we
listen to.
