Teaboos on this forum are always posting utterly inane, ahistorical shit, fueled by their anti-American butthurt, about the British music scene vs the American one.
A common theme:
>"Why didn't the US produce any rock music in the 60s and 70s"
the US had 10x the rock bands Britain did during that time period, and dominated the Billboard charts in both decades
This is in any genre. Wikipedia has categories for every possible genre of music, with bands and musicians sorted by nationality. The US has the vast majority.
British people and Anglophiles seem to internalize the overwhelming cultural influence America has had on rock music, and always set their sights on boosting any British band or musician post-1970 while pretending that the largest music market in the world, and the country that was still innovating the vast majority of genres and subgenres, had no popular bands.
Come on. It takes a Google search. If you need to ignore any American musical output, or arbitrarily pretend like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are miles above the likes of The Doors, Alice Cooper, Funkadelic, The Velvet Underground, Jefferson Airplane, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc, then obviously the British music scene is not as strong as you make it out to be.
Just because Britain has produced a handful of very famous bands and musicians does not mean it dominated rock music, not in the 70s, and certainly not today. Rock music is still American culture, and that's something Teaboos and Brits should probably come to terms with accepting. It's basic history. Try to re-write it all you wan't.
You should be able to enjoy some British bands and musicians and still be able to acknowledge 1) The US invented the genres they play and 2) The US is a much larger music market and has always produced more bands and musicians, in any given genre and in general.
Pretending otherwise is culturally insecure cope.
