Techno music originated in Detroit in the late 1980s and 1990s, using synthesizers and drum machines. It emerged from German electropop and American house music. It is typically faster and more repetitive than house music, often using more experimental sounds and minimal instrumentation, though there is significant overlap between techno and other house-derivative styles such as trance and progressive house.
