All the pinheaded absolutists want every school of music out there to have one shrine, one mythical founder, one subgod,  and if possible, one god of all the subgods.   They can't stand the idea that music is an evolving thing, that artists eternally have influences, that music is rivulets, streams and rivers merging and separating, especially it seems if white people are mentioned therein.  Hell no, they want their gods as crisply defined as a new Che T-shirt.    Now tell us techno was never influenced by Kraftwerk et al.    I wouldn't say Kraftwerk didn't have theirs own influences, because I'm not a fool.
