Hmm, but it does have roots in the modern classical music too. Most notably
Schoenberg's dodecaphonic stuff of the early 1900s. Er, check out this link

I'm not saying this is the root, but it's certainly seems a more fitting
ancestor than rave music.
PS: "electronic symphony" is a horrible alternative, I agree.
