Oh I know! I mean, look at house and techno, both of these forms of
"music" started out as
intellectual movements at the university of michigan! Lots of wealthy
white
music professors got togather with the best equipment available at the
time, and created hundreds of high-produced, well engineered records. Good
thing IDM came along and tought us that you don't have to be righ and
white to make good music.
You need a history lesson, pal.
