I really love listening to techno music when I'm driving, the pace of the music seems to get me places quicker, or so it seems.
In Detroit, techno was a result of melding African American music with electronic music.
How interesting! Did it originate in Detroit in the modern times then? 
Yes.  Detroit techno is seen as the foundation upon which sub-genres exist.
I did not know that. I really admire the production of techno music, you can listen to a song endlessly and still hear hidden depths to it.
This wonderful new music emerged during the mid to late 1980s.
I believe a lot of new genres were founded in the 80's, it's a time when music really began to change, especially with the development of music videos on channels such as MTV.
Definitely! I miss the old MTV. It was launched on August 1, 1981 and used to only air music videos.
I remember my parents getting Sky tv in the 80's and we watched the first ever song played on there, Money for Nothing I think it was called by Dire Straits.
Dire Straits was definitely a great band. They were a British rock band that formed in 1977.
