So how come Americans don't care about techno, house or breaks?
No I don't mean EDM
>>69360601
No exposure mostly and bad reputation as most think all electronic music is big room house and brostep. Hip hop is everywhere like bleeps are to Europe.
>>69360601
Because the youth are all into shitty EDM. Not all EDM is shitty but why do today's youth make the worst of it popular?
>>69360796
D&B, hardcore and jungle were all much better genres to come from breakbeats than hip hop though.
What makes this album better than The College Dropout?
>>69360565
intricate string arrangements, grand production, better lyrics. It's literally like he turned the possibility knob of college dropout to 100. This album is fantastic.
>>69360565
it sounds better
>>69360623
>>69360626
these sum it up pretty well

what were you doing over there OP?
what were you doing in /mlp/
Is there any music being made here that isn't hip hop? I love Screw and Big Moe and all them but it seems like hip hop is all we got.
Seriously, for such a large city, why is there no music scene? Does Austin just steal all our talent? Is it the sprawl? The humidity? For a city with such a low cost of living you'd think this place would be crawling with musicians.
Day for Night fest is coming up soon

I'm living in Austin now and it's not as great as everybody makes it out to be. There have been some good jazz musicians to come out of Houston in the last 15 years. Eric Harland, Jason Moran, Walter Smith III, and some others. I haven't been able to find much good jazz going on when I've been to Houston recently though.
>>69360525
I mean yes we do sometimes get cool touring bands playing here (though not as often as I'd like) but I mean Houston musicians creating and collaborating with one another. I don't see that very much.
Yeah, it's pretty great, i guess.

Sadly, I can't think of many off the top of my head which is a shame because a lot of amazing songs are by shit bands...I wish /mu/ would talk about great songs more because there's plenty I would love to recommend but they're on terrible albums, so I don't
