I mean, in the past 20-25 years, many artists from the British Isles and continental Europe experiment could conjugate and modern sounds with a good global marketability, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Joy Division, Radiohead, Air, Blur, Björk, Sigur Rós, Rammstein, etc., etc. It looks like American music could not do the same, instead. America taught the world jazz, blues, rock and roll, but it seems that the U.S. scene has its appeal and the ability to create something new lost. American "exportable" music today is just commercial hip hop, pop plastic R'n'B (why they call it that? R'n'b Rhythm and blues is for me …) and pop-rock bands like Maroon 5 The underground music scene certainly there, but nobody knows anything about it. In the 90's American music had a big moment, with great bands such as Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, NIN, but it was only a brief period. What happened to American music? European music is interesting and new-fangled today?
Love your question! As a European I spend Just about 2 1 / 2 years in America and I got an eye opener – they were def. closed before. I think I see what you say – but mention those bands, however, you are a particular genre – they are electro-based to a greater extent, and this is the first true single European music we shared. Ok, you might say, Abba and other 'pop' music has been unified, but you know that – a real movement with absolute uniqueness and equality of excellence throughout the European Come aboard. But America is a whole other continent, and during this kind of music is really great because it has its own music. Just because conventional electrochemical is as we know it in Europe not copied from America, does not mean it is not as fast forward electronically in the engineering and production. While modern hip hop its soul has lost, it has a great benefit derived from the electrical engineering sounds booty, far above the Amen Break mainly English D & B. What I want is You have to break it and see where the new talent coming in – not ok, it is above the stage "songs" as electro-but behind the desks of the room is bouncing me. Goth-Techno blew away most – as the old electro-industrial scene has become absolutely massive, but brought up in a gothic techno scene. Previously it was a bit shabby Engineering, with NIN the way, but you should hear some of the things that are now produced. I personally do not dig electro that talks about sucking of blood, or goth talk blah blah song, but I absolutely hail the quality of the database. As far as writing melodic songs or sound goes, leaving America Europe i nthe Dirt – seriously. I love Tom & Bjork, Tricky, Unkle sounds, but I said, head for head, America more writers because of it. more Singer / songerwriter based nation with a massive population way more importantly, America home of bluegrass – and that includes Juke Joint, Rock, Rockabilly, Hillbilly traditional folk, blues and of course more to the right country (and punk rock country of all things!). And that is a massive – and I mean MASSIVE growing scene really only buy his way to Europe. embodied in any other music the American spirit than what happens in this, and it is powerful – the music speaks. the music from the mountains and back roads is raw and very much alive, but almost completely unknown in Europe. I think you make a claim for the size of the scenes you are talking about – pop music is not only modern, urban or electro and not to any particular Size to validate dependent. If it is real, strong, growing, and particularly ground-breaking new territory, we salute them. Perhaps these scenes are not interesting for you, but let's be honest, the bands you mention, are only slightly left of center from the mainstream, if you go out like that, or if you really love Music for her own sake, you must admit that there are still around the neck and neck on both sides of the Atlantic. Well, I have. ♥
