Making any claim about its inception is misguided, because it is not a single thing. One could argue that Robert Moog and Don Buchla invented techno in the 60s.

Making any claim about its inception is misguided, because it is not a single thing. One could argue that Robert Moog and Don Buchla invented techno in the 60s. It probably goes back further. It’s all standing on the shoulders of giants.
- jjulius 3y agoI don't disagree, and I've even mentioned elsewhere in this thread that it's really hard to pin down origins - a lot of takes about who did it first boil down to personal opinions. The waters are muddied and there will never be a clear picture. I was just saying that I'm surprised that people in this thread are blaming contemporary journalists or, to borrow your phrase, "this generation" for this discussion, when in point of fact the Belleville Three have been having this "pretentious and divisive discussion" since at least the early 90's and they were born in the early 60's.
- _9hey 3y agoThe fault of journalists here is turning up the heat and spinning this in terms of identity politics as usual, when that controversy only exists between a small number of people. If they cared about truth more than controversy they would see this. But airing grievances is popular these days.
