What was the Fosbury flop of music? (discuss.tchncs.de)

When athletic height jumping was considered done and perfected, there was the Fosbury flop which opened new possibilities. Do you think there was such a moment in the music history? When someone showed how things can be done and from there everyone is using his/her technique?

The way most modern genres are produced (by a creative audio engineer, without a band) originated from dub.

Djing (as a figure playing records at parties) was already there when he started. The Loft saw the birth of Levan, Knuckles, Siano, Kevorkian...
