Techno is a generic term for electronica. Dubstep is indeed a form "techno" Techno aka electronica came about in the 90s imo, the 80s "techno" as you call it was more synth pop rather than the progressive house, trance, break beat or dubstep that you know of today.
Oh and I didnt bother reading through the whole thread, but anything by Sublime usually has a good bass line. Caress Me Down is a real good one
I disagree as none of the groups or crews i have worked with (such as the large massive intents partys in texas and was apart of Nocturnal which turned out 30,000 in attedance) have ever or will ever consider techno an EDM genre. No one that plays or lissens to EDM jams techno that i know lol
