Eu, toch niet in het genre die ik graag hoor.
En uw toelichting betreft de oorsprong van housemuziek is me wat te lichthoofdig.
Men kan net zo goed iedere beat toeschrijven aan de neanderthaler die voor het eerst herhaaldelijke malen op een holle boomstam heeft geslaan.

Komkom, kenners beweren klrek hetzelfde:
History of Rock
In its purest form, Rock & Roll has three chords, a strong, insistent back beat, and a catchy melody. Early rock & roll drew from a variety of sources, primarily blues, R&B, and country, but also gospel, traditional pop, jazz, and folk. All of these influences combined in a simple, blues-based song structure that was fast, danceable, and catchy. The first wave of rock & rollers —
Chuck Berry,
Elvis Presley,
Little Richard,
Jerry Lee Lewis,
Buddy Holly,
Bo Diddley,
Bill Haley,
Gene Vincent,
the Everly Brothers, and
Carl Perkins, among many others — set the template for rock & roll that was followed over the next four decades. During each decade, a number of artists replicated the sound of the first rockers, while some expanded that definition and others completely exploded the constrictions of the genre. From the British Invasion, folk-rock, psychedelia, and through hard rock, heavy metal, glam rock, and punk, most subgenres of rock & roll initially demonstrated an allegiance to the basic structure of rock & roll. Once these permutations emerged, traditional rock & roll faded away from the pop charts, yet there were always artists that kept the flame alive. Some, like
the Rolling Stones and
the Faces, adhered to the basic rules of traditional rock
& roll but played the music fast and loose. Others, like proto-punk rockers
the Velvet Underground,
the New York Dolls, and
the Stooges, kept the basic song structure, but played it with more menace. Still others, like
Dave Edmunds and
Graham Parker, became rock & roll traditionalists, writing and recording music that never wavered from the sound of the late '50s and early '60s. Although the term "rock & roll" came to refer to a number of different music styles in the decades following its inception, the essential form of the music never changed.
[font=Trebuchet MS]History of House Music[/font]
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">House music grew out of the post-disco dance club culture of the early '80s. After disco became popular, certain urban DJs — particularly those in black gay communities — altered the music to make it less pop-oriented. The beat became more mechanical and the bass grooves became deeper, while elements of electronic synth pop, Latin soul, dub reggae, rap, and jazz were grafted over the music's insistent, unvarying four-four beat. Frequently, the music was purely instrumental and when there were vocalists, they were faceless female divas that often sang wordless melodies. By the late '80s, house had broken out of underground clubs in cities like Chicago, New York, and London, and had begun making inroads on the pop charts, particularly in England and Europe but later in America under the guise of artists like
C+C Music Factory and
Madonna. At the same time, house was breaking into the pop charts; it fragmented into a number of subgenres, including hip-house, ambient house, and most significantly, acid house (a subgenre of house with the instantly recognizable squelch of Roland's TB-303 bass-line generator). During the '90s, house ceased to be cutting-edge music, yet it remained popular in clubs throughout Europe and America. At the end of the decade, a new wave of progressive house artists including
Daft Punk,
Basement Jaxx, and
House of 909 brought the music back to critical quarters with praised full-length works.
