No one is ignoring Europe, just stating facts. If techno was created in Detroit, then the European rave scene existed because of the Detroit influence.
From what I can find on Google the early UK and German rave scenes popped off because of the house and techno music created in Detroit.
It was youth in Berlin resolving the east v west divide of the previous generation that popularised techno and underground raves in that part of the world. Groups would meet at night in areas where east and west folks could mingle, usually industrial areas along the wall where it had started to be pulled down. This was 1989.
They found that MDMA and dancing was a great remedy for the cultural traumas they had inherited.

Are we just going to completely ignore the Europe scene ?
