It's about humans and technology and the imagined future.
It's the musical equivalent of science fiction and space opera. Techno
is Syd Mead and Frank Frazetta and Joe Kubert and Katsuhiro Otomo.
Syd Mead (Blade Runner set design; neo-Batmobiles)
and Otomo (Akira; Steamboy) might be considered 'techno', according to those
rules;
Frank Frazetta (Vampirella; Molly Hatchet album covers (!!!)) and
Joe Kubert (Sgt. Joe Rock; DC Comics) are definitely *not* techno, though.
Frank Frazetta = Goth
