What does TECHNO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A style of fast electronic dance music with a heavy, repetitive beat and few or no vocals.
Techno took shape in Detroit in the 1980s, when young producers built hard, futuristic tracks from drum machines and synthesizers. It then spread through the clubs and warehouse parties of Berlin and the rest of Europe, where it became a major scene of its own. The word is a clipped form of technology, and it is the name of the genre rather than of any one song.
