I think the '70s and early '80s were fine times for the musicians of that time, since they were able to make music never heard before. That was their golden age, but the average Joe couldn't relate to them. Kids gone home after hearing that music went like: Dad! Can we sell the house and buy a Moog Modular?
Then came the '90s with new genres gaining widespread popularity all over Europe and the US. Golden age for youngsters not willing to listen to corporate garbage and party hard.
The new millennium: golden age for home and hobby musicians. Everything you need is afforable and accessible for nearly everyone.
It is hard to tell if it is the golden age, since it is not over yet but for me it is and has been for a few years now.
Is this a golden age for electronic musicians? *Poll*

These 'warehouse parties' that you seem all like whatever about where more like the early to mid 80s dj/club scene and tape trading/ghetto blaster scene where house, techno, acid, electro, freestyle somehow got played before they were invented by the british rave scene a decade later. Strange how that happened.Lady J wrote: It depends on where in the world you are talking about. In the UK/Europe it was the late 80s, in the US it was the early 90s. Though there were warehouse parties and stuff in the US in the late 80s

Well. I voted yes. I knew nothing about music, never played an instrument up until 6 years ago, but I always loved Tangerine Dream to bits and liked synth / robot music. When Dad died 6 years ago (today weirdly) all I could think to give him as a parting gift was to play electronic music (badly) by his bedside.
Now I too can make music, I'm having drum lessons and I bought an electric piano and want lessons for that. I've even had pieces of my music in plays, films, corporate docos. I wasn't paid much but it was fantastic fun and a real thrill to watch a play with your music featured as the backing track in front of a live audience.
You real muso guys have always been having this much fun. Did you want to keep it that to yourselves?

'Golden Ages' of anything are never current, its an intrinscially nostalgic term.
An idiot on Set Theory:
"In some cases there is an object called red that contains everything that is red. In much the same way a pot is a plate."

Having everything inside a computer hardly qualifies as golden age for me, but I'm more of a hardware guy.
