The Impact of Jungle Music in 90s Video Game Development

Author here. Thanks for sharing the blog post on HN; it was a nice surprise to see it in the first page.

You have gotten the history here dead wrong:

> The techno scene originated in Germany, reached the UK, and it was later associated with the Chicago & Detroit EDM scene in America.

Techno was invented in Detroit, house music in Chicago. Germany like techno. In no sense whatsoever did they invent or originate it.

Thanks for the heads up. It's funny how we encounter different sources telling us different things about the history of these subgenres. I'll go back and review/expand that paragraph soon.

It seems quite silly to mention it, but the the phrase 'EDM' here really made me more upset than it possibly should. Call it 'House' genericlly, call it 'techno' generically, but please don't call it EDM generically, as that as many other's have mentioned is a sub genre coined way later to describe a bland watered down distant cousin of 'House' music. It really detracts from the great article in a Steve Buscemi with a skateboard kind of way.

this is also incorrect, EDM has multiple meanings over time and space - are you being annoyed at the contemporary American use of it to mean "inoffensive dance music"?

wikipedia has a whole section on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_dance_music#Termino...
