Interesting start to a thread...

What types of music HAVE started in the US? You could certainly say that all music derived from whatever the first music was... and if people came to the US from other lands that nothing could be considered truly from the US, except as Chuck suggests, American Indian.

But lets get past that semantic.. what types of music sort of sprung up from the US Culture? Blues? Jazz? Rap? R&B? Did Rock come from the US? How about computer generated music like Electronica, Techno, etc...? Where did Country come from? How about Metal and Industrial? Did Jimi Hendrix copy something before or was he truly an original?

Just throwing this out.. might be fun to read what comments ensue...
