techno
This term refers specifically to a genre of electronic dance music (EDM) that originated in Detroit. It is characterized by a mechanical, industrial feel and a steady, four-on-the-floor beat. While often used interchangeably with "house music" by laypeople, techno is generally faster and more minimalist, focusing on timbre and repetition rather than melodic song structures.
As a noun, the word is treated as an uncountable mass noun because it describes a musical style or genre. You would not refer to "three technos" when discussing the music itself, but rather "techno tracks" or "techno sets" to quantify individual pieces of music.
