Electronic Dance Music Origin 14/14

Now, as for the music itself....pay attention to this part, because I'm only going to say this once.

All electronic music that exists today originated in three principle nerve centres: The Caribbean (Jamaica), the American Midwest (Detroit and Chicago),
and Western Europe (France, Italy and Germany). There are other hot points that have contributed lots of good things along the way, like Japan, India, Great Britain,
Scandinavia and other areas of America, but chiefly these are the Big Three.

The Caribbean fermented reggae and dub, introduced MCing, exported rapping to New York where it promptly became the most popular music in the world,
kickstarted dancehall and DJing, and was the womb of the Breakbeat and Jungle sections of this guide.

The American Midwest enriched us with jazz, soul, RnB, funk and blues, morphed into electro, merged with hip hop, toyed with disco,
championed the 'black gay club' aesthete, combined all-night dancing with ecstasy, and was the flowerbed of the Techno and House sections of this guide.

Western Europe cultivated electronic instruments, attracted freaky arthouse intellectual scenes like the futurists, dadaists, existentialists,
and beats which all which helped found post-modernism, developed minimalism and musique concrete which transformed into industrial,
created spacey film soundtracks, ambient and krautrock, sent disco to America and promptly took it back when America got sick of it, and was the test tube of the Trance,
Hardcore and Downtempo sections of this guide.

There. You got all that? Now that you know where it came from, it's up to you to decide where it goes. There is no beginning or end to this thing.
Simply dive into the genre of your choice and explore for yourself. That is the purpose of music, after all.
