Its funny to have the perspective where you want to say
"...but that's not 'techno'..." but people won't have any clue of what
you're talking about.
Most people don't have the interest or patience unless it just happens to
strike them.
Then there's also the theory of people gradually starting to like stuff
after they're exposed to it alot
and frequently... I've seen it happen, but there's a great deal of mental
resistance to anything "techno"
(which could be a madonna dance track or noisecreator or anything in
between)
