Americans already did slam poetry / spoken word, which is the same thing.

Arthur Rimbaud did it like 150 yrs ago and a thousand times better. He also gave it up when he was 20 yrs old and became a Catholic instead of a degenerate faggot.

We aren't serious when we're seventeen.
—One fine evening, to hell with beer and lemonade,
Noisy cafés with their shining lamps!
We walk under the green linden trees of the park

The lindens smell good in the good June evenings!
At times the air is so scented that we close our eyes.
The wind laden with sounds—the town isn't far—
Has the smell of grapevines and beer . . .

II

—There you can see a very small patch
Of dark blue, framed by a little branch,
Pinned up by a naughty star, that melts
In gentle quivers, small and very white . . .

Night in June! Seventeen years old! —We are overcome by it all
The sap is champagne and goes to our head . . .
We talked a lot and feel a kiss on our lips
Trembling there like a small insect . . .

III

Our wild heart moves through novels like Robinson Crusoe,
—When, in the light of a pale street lamp,
A girl goes by attractive and charming
Under the shadow of her father's terrible collar . . .

And as she finds you incredibly naïve,
While clicking her little boots,
She turns abruptly and in a lively way . . .
—Then cavatinas die on your lips . . .

IV

You are in love. Occupied until the month of August.
You are in love. —Your sonnets make Her laugh.
All your friends go off, you are ridiculous.
—Then one evening the girl you worship deigned to write to you . . . !

—That evening, . . . —you return to the bright cafés,
You ask for beer or lemonade . . .
—We're not serious when we are seventeen
And when we have green linden trees in the park.

How isn't it? Genuinely curious what lead you to this retarded conclusion.

these are coming. perhaps not as avant garde as some on there, but they're american post-punk that I enjoy.

Rock music has always been UK. Very few bands from the US attempt at not sucking.

I scoff whenever I see people saying Nirvana were The Beatles of the 90s

British rock always has a certain element of theatrical pomp to it while American stuff sounds more raw and not as flowery.

nirvana is legitimately one of the worst bands to have ever existed. people are always like "they saved rock from hair metal!!!!!" first off, who gives a shit, secondly, they may have "saved rock from hair metal" but they then gave birth to an equally shitty genre known as post-grunge which is shit and dominated the airwaves longer than hair metal ever did
