Electronic-Music Epiphany

See Dave Segal's post at Line Out.

I've been thinking about this off and on for the past twenty hours or so, and I think I sorted out a rough chronology on my walk home from work, though the earliest parts may be a little incomplete. I'm sure I heard stuff on commercials and whatnot, but given the music I read about and listened to on the radio (I've probably watched less than 10% as much MTV as the average member of my generation or "cultural cohort" as they say) I don't think I actively listened to anything electronic until around my eighteenth birthday.
