While I'm no expert on the genre, I am what most would probably call a casual fan, and have been since the mid 90s when a friend introduced me to the genre. Techno music (which is a huge umbrella term that covers all of the subgenres, many of which are quite different from one another) has changed by leaps and bounds over the past 15 years. I fully admit that even I'm not fully up on what the current trends in electronic music are; they change so quickly that music produced as little as two years ago could be considered "old". But that's the appeal of electronic music to me; it's always on the move and never stands still. I imagine this is at least in part because it's a type of music driven by technology. As the technology improves from year to year, so do the possibilities of what can be done with it. (And then you have geniuses like Raymond Scott who were ahead of the even the likes of Kraftwerk by a good 20 years!)
