There is an increasing interest in technotronics recently and seems that it comes from the mention of the word in Big Brother 11. From Examiner:

We’re only three episodes into the eleventh installment of Big Brother, and the craziness has already begun.

It started with an ugly Power of Veto competition.  Forced to pop pimples off a giant face in the back yard, the houseguests then had to find hidden letters among the mess and create words.  The man or woman who spelt the longest word won the Power of Veto.

Russell spelt the word "shotgun" while Jeff spelt…"technotronics?" 

Your guess is as good as mine regarding that one.

Russell went on to win the veto compeition, and viewers were once again forced to listen the phrase "Russell the Love Muscle" flow from his lips.

But what is technotronics actually? Here is what Wikipedia says about it:

Technotronic was a studio-based Belgian music project formed by Jo Bogaert (born 1954, Aalst, Belgium) in 1988, who had already made his musical mark in the beginning of the 1980s as a part of a cover band and as a solo artist under various new beat projects, including The Acts of Madmen and Nux Nemo. Together with Ya Kid K (born Manuela Barbara Kamosi Moaso Djogi, 1972, Kinshasa, DR Congo), he produced the hit single "Pump Up the Jam" which was originally an instrumental. An image for the act was later put together utilizing Zairian-born fashion model Felly Kilingi as its album/single cover art and supposed singer in the music video.
