No it's not! You haven't seen some of my posts from the mid-nineties... ;-)
There used to be a time when there was no real distinction between "trance" and "techno" - "trancey" was an adjective people sometimes used, but it could apply to tracks by the likes of Richie Hawtin as much as tracks from European producers. It was only in the early nineties that I came across people referring to "trance" as a standalone type of music, distinct from "techno". All I'm saying is that this process could end up repeating itself; and that, if it did, one of the most obvious schisms that could take place might be the complete splitting off of "schranz" from "techno" in terms of how people talk about music. I don't reckon that's very ludicrous - or at least not by my standards anyway!
