Techno is my favorite form of electronic dance music. 
Really? I didn't that was still a thing. Like what DJ/band for example? I like Skrillex but that isn't techno.
Many styles of techno are out there now,  but Detroit techno is still seen as the foundation of it all. 
Cool. So do you go to any clubs or anything?
Sure. I like the House music club DJ's put out, too. That started in Chicago in the early 80s.
You sure know your history. I'm not closed minded and wouldn't mind listening to some. Any recommendations for a beginner?
I'd suggest listening to Ron Hardy. He was a Chicago DJ and producer of House music.
