mono-stereo you seem to have a very narrow view of what music can and can’t be described as “banging/techno” based on how fast it’s played.
Not only its tempo but also how “banging”/hard it is, its general mood, rhythmic structure, etc. etc.
I don’t know why you’re talking as if it’s some obscure notion that different genres of music are categorised in different ways - I mean, it’s as if you’d also want to somehow argue with the notion that say ‘ambient’ music is generally of a fairly slow tempo and either beatless or with soft/subtle beats.
Or some dumb statement like "you seem to have a very narrow view of what music can and can’t be described as “breakbeat” based on whether it has broken beats".
Would you describe Derrick Carter as “techno”? No. Would you describe Jeff Mills as “house”? No.
Different genres have different characteristics.
