I think it's because at one point electronic music was something brave and
new. It was probably seen as the thing that would revolutonize or end all
previous forms of music. Those that embraced it were in fact 'embracing the
future'. They, like the futurist beliefs, abandoned the past to invest in
the future and in new ways of doing something... There is probably a more
solid connection (see the art of noises manifesto. details below), but I
would have to guess it's just in the similarity of ideals.
I read the art of noises manifesto online.
