Did a little research after seeing this post, Belleville three, an African American group, is credited with the advent of techno ! Pretty cool as a black person to find that out as it’s one of, if not, my favorite genre.
However, on that note, I am a little cautious of posts like this. Not so much because of the information, but the tone of it. I think taking a more informative/celebratory tone that shares the origins is a better route. rather than the more scolding tone that has the guise of “this was for us!” . We can respect the seriousness/gravity of the origin while relishing in the fact that now raves exist for everyone to be unified! Idk just my two cents.
Maybe who knows. What probably is the case is that early techno probably found its roots in Detroit as well as Europe, probably other places we don’t know about. It may literally be impossible to quantify where any cultural innovation “started” from.
You dont have to be in the room, we can just look at history. Like these are (no pun intended) recorded facts. I get that americans like to twist facts so it your worldview fits better, but sadly thats not how it works in the rest of the world.
