House music originated in America, and it has always been around, but I guess it just got a tighter hold on Europe and other parts of the world.
When it comes to electronic music, I started listening to a lot of Daft Punk, way before I knew what house music was, and then progressed into a lot of Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Laidback Luke.
I actually only started listening to house music around the time I started making it. I got hooked both to making music and to house music.
