Last year, One of the most culturally impactful album, 'Brat' was released by London based musician, Charli XCX.

Not many people around the world watches new york based sports. Many people around world watches plays of Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham.

NYC is the global financial capital. Everything you see, everything that is advertised to you, everything that you buy is determined by some overworked overpaid investment banker on wall street.

Those sports events? Those musicians? Who do you think pays them?

Charli xcx types hyperpop trend was emerged in UK first. USA music cultures are lagging behind with circlejerking country music and black music these days. Creative electronic music sceans mostly has been rising from Europe. Even the experimental musics which is on the front line are based on London musicians.

American music trends basically have been based on Black musicians, and newly released album by Playboi carti and Kanye west are trashy.

Even the creative U.S. musicians are from California, not based on NYC these days.

But if he stood and watched the frigid wind
Tousling the clouds, lay on the fusty bed
Telling himself that this was home, and grinned,
And shivered, without shaking off the dread

That how we live measures our own nature,
And at his age having no more to show
Than one hired box should make him pretty sure
He warranted no better, I don't know.

I see your Mr Blearney and raise you The Old Fools

What do they think has happened, the old fools,
To make them like this? Do they somehow suppose
It's more grown-up when your mouth hangs open and drools,
And you keep on pissing yourself, and can't remember
Who called this morning? Or that, if they only chose,
They could alter things back to when they danced all night,
Or went to their wedding, or sloped arms some September?
Or do they fancy there's really been no change,
And they've always behaved as if they were crippled or tight,
Or sat through days of thin continuous dreaming
Watching light move? If they don't (and they can't), it's strange:
Why aren't they screaming?

Yet, having missed them, you're
Bound, none the less, to act
As if what you settled for
Mashed you, in fact;
And wiser to keep away
From thinking you still might trace
Uncalled-for to this day
Your person, your place.

You will love new York I'm sure

Meanwhile my life in grad school in a nutshell:
I work all day, and get half-drunk at night.
Waking at four to soundless dark, I stare.
In time the curtain-edges will grow light.
Till then I see what's really always there:
Unresting death, a whole day nearer now,
Making all thought impossible but how
And where and when I shall myself die.
Arid interrogation: yet the dread
Of dying, and being dead,
Flashes afresh to hold and horrify.

Well, do you think The Smith, Radiohead, Pulp, Oasis radiates 'U.S vibes' more than British vibes?

When you look at pop culture, artists like Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, and Rihanna don't really feel 'American' because they're from Canada or Barbados. Lady gaga was mostly influenced by British electronic musicians
