Techno Music
Techno music is a fully formed music style that can be traced to the early eighties. Inner-city Detroit combined electric funk and machine music to come up with Techno music. Techno music showed a tragic and rather melancholic nature and was influenced by its urban roots. Techno music then moved to European shores and became synonymous with the dance floor. Techno music continues to remain a marginal underground music in the United States.
