 Techno Music: A Spirited Defense
Most of the criticisms of techno music I’ve heard fall into three categories —; it’s too repetitive, it lacks any real ‘musicianship,’ and it’s too "cheesy." The sad thing is that there’s a lot of techno music that indeed fits the bill in all cases.
Techno music still requires plenty of human intervention to create and perform — the machines are simply the equipment that enables it.

  Hardcore techno - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It originated in the early- to mid-1990s in largely industrial or post-industrial cities (Rotterdam, New York City, Newcastle, New South Wales) and simultaneously in commercial dance techno music looking for a harder sound; Mescalinum United's "We Have Arrived" (PCP 006, 1990) is considered by many to be the first hardcore track.
Hardcore techno is often obsessed with the obscene, morose, morbid, explicitly sexual or profane.
Generally, hardcore techno seeks the social relationship which early punk rock or ska had: ironic, working class, demi-political, and seeking to transcend the oppressions of everyday life.
