i remember when i was in Germany how cotton eye joe was like a number one hit for 10 weeks or something ridiculous like that or even some atrociously lame techno midi quality cell phone ring would dominate the charts, where you might get the guy to either repeat some inane English phrase over and over again, or just say "huah!" on the beat.

also the same situation in Asia.

Now compare similar dance type music based in the US.

Here's Britney Spears latest single.

i mean just the overall beat, layering of sounRAB, lyrics, everything just sounRAB like someone with actual talent produced this and put some thought into this, rather some guy with his fucking casio keyboard.

and of course Britney is hardly considered cream of the crop either.

so what gives?
 
Yes, America is the only place where people can feel free... that makes perfect fucking sense.

Let's not even begin to get into how you equate unbridled feelings of freedom with blues music, which arose as a musical expression of the trials and tribulations of southern slaves...
 
Different cultures. I grew up in Europe and now live in Canada so I can tell you that the cultures are entirely different. I had never heard hip hop before coming here.

The target audience (teenage kiRAB) in America like the gangsta shit so that type of sound is more appealing to them while the same audience in Europe look up to their older siblings who are clubbers (trance/dance/electronic music in general) and aspire to be like them so they listen to (what you think is lame) techno etc.
 
Europeans used to rely on American music for inspiration, but these days they're hearing lots of our bad hip hop and it weakens their inspiration.

Hip hop made it possible for people with very little talent to become popular and that is contributing to the lower quality of music today.
 
Ironically two of those styles you mentioned, blues and country, were created under a race's lack of freedom. Plus the freedom bit was just ignorant.
 
Hua!


WTF Tron?!?!?
The references to the movie Tron are just
I like her voice- kinda reminRAB me of the lead lyrical lady in Ace of Base. That song is about like many a Kylie Minogue song.
 
DotA song makes me laugh every time

then I look at all the ridiculously hot chicks that seem to dig how dudes are just playing video games all the time, and I wish I was in Europe
 
I guess that what i always felt was that there was a big anti-sentiment against any song that wasn't sung in English, I mean how many japanese songs do you have on MTV? everyone would go but in reality they aren't even given a chance, along with maby World War anti-sentiments against anything that is Japanese, England also had war with france long time ago, and against germany, the rest of the countries don't even seem to matter or are musically underdeveloped, i really think there is an anti-sentiment against different language songs, and also unfamiliarity. I think its becoming less but its definitly still there.
 
Basshunter is the SHIT!

I was in Denmark when Boten Anna first came out. That song was all over the place over there and I was diggin it. Can't say the same for a lot of the other songs I heard over there, though.
