Usually I strongly dislike techno/trance/rave but I found this real good song the other day.

*Warning for curses*
It is called: DJ Paul vs. The Headbanger - Your mother sucks cocks in hell

Incase you haven't seen the movie, they've ripped sounds and dialouges from the movie 'The Exorcist'.
Reel good party music =D

Yeah... The term 'techno' is a kind of a catch-all term and is often misused. When people talk about 'techno', they could mean anything from industrial to drum+bass to ambient.

I like the Chemical Brothers, what would they be considered.

I like Lords of Acid, they are a type of techno, as is E Nomine, who are technometal.

Well, part of the problem in people overusing the term is that so many of the branches of electronic music are intentionally obscure and not very newbie-friendly. When one is new, or talking to someone who doesn't know any of what you're talking about, saying "Techno that sounds like _____" is a good bit more simple than saying "Techrave jungle D&B hop spin ramalamadingdong."

And more likely to get your point across.

I'm not remotely a techno fan (I know where the shift button is on a keyboard, and I don't use drugs), but I do like a few artists which I think are classed under trip-hop. Oh well, can't keep me out now.

I think my problem is, Techno is a stupid word in using to describe music that is more "technological". Electronica is a better word to generalize with, since, all "techno" is electronic, but not all "techno" is so technologically advanced in this day and age.

Chemical Brothers are Drum and Bass
E Nomine is dance/rave

myself, I'm an IDM fan ^^

I agree with Zerophite. It's like just calling a certain type of music 'Rock', but there's Progressive Rock, Pop Rock, Soft Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Power Metal, Death Metal, Speed Metal....you get what I mean right?

These 'Sub-genres' are really helpful in classifying an artist's style. I think one of the hardest artists to classify though is DJ Krush. His type of music is something I call 'Blind', meaning that his music shifts and twists so much for one song to another on most of his albums, that you can't really classify him.
But I had to I'd go with Trip-Hop/Jazz/Ambient/Drum&Bass....and the list goes on
