Why is it important to distinguish between Garage and UK Garage?
There have been other forms of music called ‘Garage’ before. The original form of Garage music started in the 60’s in the United States of America. And it was called Garage music because it was kids playing in bands in their parents’ garages. And that’s where that term came from. And then it became more closely associated with dance music in the United States in the 1970’s and 1980’s. And then again, now there’s been this big resurgence in the use of the word ‘Garage’, and to differentiate it from previous forms of Garage music it was being called UK Garage because it was born, bred and it’s developing in the UK.
