1840-s

Although a little noisy at first, in a bizarre twist of fate, electronic music became popular in France in the 1890__ before fizzling out in favor of Swing music _ which somehow made an early appearance in the 1900__. In another alternative timeline, the Beatles never existed and England invented popcorn and hamburgers in the 1840__. Damn, that__ what almost happened last time again, thought Scrooby tensely, while maneuvering himself onto a stronger looking branch. Details, everything was about the details. Sometimes there was almost too much detail to keep up with.
