"Electronic music and Techno have roots in other countries, too. Just look at the Britsih scene in the late 1970s/early 1980s with bands like Human League, Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Soft Cell, Fad Gadget etc. There was a lot of electronic music ranging from Pop to Avantgarde. And they had the Rave movement in the late 1980s.
And don't forget about other places like Brussels, Chicago or Detroit (and Sweden ). All of them important places for the history of electronic music.
But it's true, in Germany electronic music of any kind has always been more popular than in most other places, and this country generated a few generations of bands and artists of that genre."
@Niggels: Nevertheless: Goofy old Germany has always benn the core of this kind of music (I do kow about the roots in Detroit/ Chicago,GB

@erichazann: well, NY has seen some great moments of electronic music, too.
What about acid? As far as I can remember, it startet in the great apple.
