I really like techno music. When I was younger I used to hate it, but as I've grown older, I see the appeal.
I love techno! in fact the very first recorded use of the word "techno" in reference to a specific genre of music was way back in 1988. so it has quite a small history.
That's the year I was born! Do you know of any techno artists that are popular?
Yes soem of the most popular techno artists include Juan Atkins, Eddie Fowlkes, Derrick May, Jeff Mills, Kevin Saunderson, Blake Baxter, Santonio Echols, Will Thomas and Mike Banks. and so on. 
That is quite a list! I know certain clubs in my area only play techno music. It creates a different kind of environment.
It sure does, A whole lot of differentstyles of techno exist today, but Detroit techno is seen as the birth place upon which a number of subgenres have been built.
I may have to go there sometime to check out the roots of techno!
Yes Detroit is the lively place to go when you want to listen to techno, almost all the clubs play it.
