Right but the transfer there wasn't sound, it was skill, no? In order to make those sounds in the '80s, you needed to know how to play the piano. Now you don't, is how I see it.

the weirdest thing about this is that electronic music had been around for 30 years by that point, all a computer really does is streamline the process so you don't need a crazy expensive studio...hardly an obstacle for Prince in the first place

People on the cutting edge of new music knew about it, but I don't think it was mainstream. Based on the direction they tried to take it (NIN, chinese democracy, anything in the Nu-metal covers New Wave genre) it seems like they meant "rock will be electronic-infused" not necessarily "everyone will be listening to House music."
