Absolutely unintended consequences, but at the same time, part of a long history of musical scenes developing out of access to (comparatively low-end) technology, and doing the best with what you have: - Many early UK grime beats (by folks like Benga, Dizzee Rascal, So Solid Crew, Ruff Sqwad) were produced on a Playstation (software: MTV Music Generator or Music 2000) - (originally pirated copies of) FL Studio running on student or family computers are more or less directly responsible for developments in mainstream US rap in the past ~15 years - the ultimate one of these is the idea that looting of music stores in the 1977 blackouts led directly to the birth of hip hop in NYC - but this is probably apocryphal and most of those early DJs were just "misusing" their parents' stereo equipment Would love to hear some more examples!
