umm, just because you invent a few things and force democracy on a few countries doesn't mean you have a culture

Wow! Everyone should calm down and take the music as it is. No colors on the music please. I'm from Detroit and I feel great about anything the city births. Lord knows we need all the positive things we can get. this music is fot the world to enjoy.

Yep, we don't have a culture. YouTube isn't an american idea. Yep, you're free 'cause we defend your sorry ass. Stop talking trash about a country you know very little about. Or better yet, never bite the hand that feed you. Your cocky bs doesn't work. Go back to your third world socialist bs country and wish you were a citizen in the US.

Black people, white people, wtf!?!?!?MUSIC IS FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY!!!Music does not have a colour! It has emotion and power!!

srotagadirolf (December 31, 1969 at 5:59 pm)

no, it's the fascination of those drum machines back in the day that inspired them. Heck, most of the stuff back then was more R&B based anyway and that isn't Kraftwerk or any other electro euro band's influence. You don't get "funky" from euros!

srotagadirolf (December 31, 1969 at 5:59 pm)

"It seems like it bugs you to admit that African Americans created it!!!"Yup, and that's where most euros won't acknowlege where most, if not all, of the dance music comes from. Just like most genres that black people come up with (blues, electric blues, dance music) black people develop it, play with it for a while, get bored and move to something else. I'm waiting for us to get bored with hip hop/rap.
