Yeah I definitely agree that the Electronic scene (irrespective of genre) really took off in the early 90's over here but because it's not the biggest selling or even most liked genre, it kind of gets forgotten.

Then of course from 2000 onward Electronic music again has flourished here with Garage, two step, dubstep, grime etc being successful. Most early 90's American music does nothing for me at all. At least the bands selling lots of albums at this time I mean.

Generally British guitar music from the late 90's onwards has been decidedly average and just rehashes of 60's guitar Pop which you will now find in 2nd hand shops in abundance only a couple of years after release.
