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.

One of the key points that everyone seems to miss out tho is music does NOT play such a central role in the younger generations life as it did for us, there is so much more "stuff" out there that now competes for that time/space/money.
