I always get confused with these things of "who did it first"?

The cats from Detroit were certainly influenced by Kraftwerk. People from Detroit always accuse white Europeans of cultural appropriation.

But you don't see them pointing fingers at themselves when they go to countries where the dollar is worth a lot of money, buy all the local records and take them home to sample and make hip-hop or house music and with that make a lot of money.

For example, an underground house music duo called "Detroit Swindle" changed their stage name under pressure from Detroit artists.

A famous German DJ, who used the name "Motor City Drum Ensemble," also felt pressured and no longer uses that name, but he had an "odd" argument: he's from Stuttgart, also known as a "Motor City"

But people from Detroit didn't buy that argument. Anyway, all of this is egoistic and elitist nonsense from either side you look at it. If you look closely, couldn't the inventor of drum machines claim to be the inventor of techno, then? What about the inventor of TB303?
