It was really amazing how pervasive this music was at the turn of the century, it really was everywhere. Games like Wipeout re-introduced a generation that just missed the tail end of rave culture to Big beat, Trance and Drum & Bass and it really felt like a pivotal cultural moment with how accessible these genres were becoming in the late 90s.

I know, because I was a States-resident techno-head and I had to go "underground" to experience this stuff with others. I don't know if it was the echoes of the disco backlash triggered by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco_Demolition_Night https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco_Demolition_Night (one of my earliest memories), but electronic music was extremely niche in the US at least until Deadmau5 lit up the Jersey Shore circa 2010. And to this day, if you go to certain places like New Orleans, any request for anything electronic will have someone redirect you to the "gay district" (the cultural/musical co-delineation is oddly strict down there)
