Sorry this user say it before me :)
Well the thing that I would say is that the matter of electronical music is that is an universal music. Is like say that mathematics we're developed by only one culture. Each one made his own contribution to develope it. That's the reason why we can found so much styles of electronical music like electro, techno, minimal, house, big beat, drum'n bass, idm, ambient and so on...
And his own derivates.

Yes in Detroit was developed Techno as an electronic music style. But don't forget that it derives directly form german, belgian and other european electronica. Also most of the technology used for made it come from Japan like one user says after me!
The developement of electro also derives from japanese 8bit computer games soundtracks!
I think that Detroit is an important part of the chain in the evolution of electronical music as we undertand today but not the start and fortunately not the end

Electronica is a media created term. Please stop using it lol. Techno came from Detroit's House scene which was influenced by Chicago's house scene. Kraftwerk were an influence on the Belleville three's work, but it was still a fully African American effort in its creation. Techno would have never have happened anywhere else.

Why does a kind of separatism have to always engulf this music. Sheffield,England and Brussels,Belguim and also Berlin Germany all have a major part to play in the development of this field. It's not black nor is it white,most of the instruments were conceived of and made in Japan.So fuck all you colour supremicists. It's music to be enjoyed,and a scene to be embraced. Detroit plays a major part in this.Let the mission continue......

ITs bands like Kraftwerk that inspired the likes of juan and afrian bamaaattaa.....with out there infuances music would be very different today. Who wants plastic pop music anyway ?

I am pretty sure it has to do with the Racism in America and the fact the average American thinks Techno is from Europe. Detroit is kind looked down upon as this place that has no intellectual value. Yes Europe made alot of contributions but they also introduced drugs to the music, to many folks dismay.

in reality the pionners in electronica were european krafwerk, tangerine dream , but detroit define electronic music as techno , they create the style.
