Good point Martin.
Another point that's missed here is, by and large, musical
revolutions happen in time with other youth/cultural changes. These
can be brought around by changes of society (rock and roll due to
teenagers having money) or changes in the drugs that society does,
amongst other things.
One big reason house and techno became so big was the association
with MDMA, particulalrly in the UK youth culture of the 80s.
I know this won't be a popular view on here but there it is.
