Not even nitpicking - someone reading the original comment who doesn't know about music history would read that and think the USA created electronic music which is so unbelievably far from correct it's cringeworthy.
- cromka 5y agoUS created disco (NYC), funk (NOLA), house (Chicago) and, simultaneously with Germany, techno (Detroit). US is also where many very crucial synthesizers were built, especially Moog (the rest of them came mostly from Japan). I don't think it's far fetched to say that US has been a birthplace of what we now know as electronic music. PS. Saying this as an European, into electronic music of all genres since 20 years.
- breakfastduck 5y agoElectronic music was being experimented with as early as the 40s in Europe. Please, you're talking nonsense.
- rmason 5y agoGo ahead be my guest and nitpick ;<). Obviously I meant techno not electronic music. I am a fan of Kraftwerk and I believe they are one of many German electronic music bands.
