Figuring out where one genre of music or another came from is always a mess. There's always claimants, there's always students, and there's always glommers.
The real question is -- are you more concerned where it came from, or where it's going to? Shut up and play yer guitar ... or turntable ... or iPad module ... or whatever ... just Jesuspleaseus, give us some real music rather than this digitized horseshit. Play it in real time, forget clicktracks and autotune and SMPTE.

Nah, it goes back further than that:
