Is Hands Up a style/subgenre of techno?

Post by Nightcore4eva » January 24th, 2018, 5:53 am

I watch a lot of Hands Up videos on Youtube, and there are LOTS of people who bash on it, saying that it is not real techno. But when I asked someone to show me a "real" techno song, it was just minimal techno. So what are your thoughts- do you think Hands Up is a subgenre of techno? Also, is Hands Up music played in nightclubs often?

For me techno is just a synonym for electronic music. But to be precise, techno is really just a genre of electronic music which doesn't include hands up.
