In your opinion in your country?

>>212025134 (OP)
cultural capital has been always London, not NYC

>>212025162
I only recognize like a third of these

>>212025134 (OP)
>NYC
>culture

>>212025134 (OP)
Hasn't been for a long time. It still is ONE of them, but it's easily supplanted by LA and Tokyo, likely still London, and dare I say Seoul

>>212025134 (OP)
The culture is NYC is just worshipping jews tho

>>212025229
>Seoul
no lol
>Tokyo
Only for weebs.
>LA
Maybe yeah. Most other countries' perception of the USA is more based on LA than NYC.

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.

I'm moving to NYC this week

>>212025320
how much money do you make?

>>212025288
>sports
>music
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?

Bongtard musicians follow american trends. Any UK artists you like were inspired by americans first

>>212025625
Also most of the people you posted first are from 40-50 years ago

>>212025388
thats not how it works
but that korean teaboo is wrong anyway because the premier league is the only thing still relevant worldwide from england

It was so impactful that no one knows about it

>>212025565

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.

NHH

>Charli xcx types hyperpop trend was emerged in UK first
Idk wtf that is. Look at her bio and it shows most of her influences are american.
>American music trends basically have been based on Black musicians
That's how it's always been 90% of popular music genres for the past 100 years were started by black americans

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?

>>212025776
>90% of popular music genres for the past 100 years were started by black americans

Synthesizer was from British people
Brian Eno was British
Kraftwerk was German
Rave culture and Many rock subs were from British

>>212025844
In defense of my old self:

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.

LIKE A RAT IN A CAGE
PULLING MINIMUM WAGE

>38 yo woman poetry fan
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.

>>212025938
I mean, Most musicians' music in the United States is based on technologies and beats made by Europeans.

>>212025938
You're just lacking common sense about the music culture and the average American centric idiot

>>212025962
by this logic, all european technologies were made and based by iranian and indian mathematicians

>>212025320
good fucking luck nigga finding a place to rent will be a nightmare to say the least

>>212025994
and korean cultures were made by chinese

>>212025565
oh wait, that makes sense, still good luck unc

You need to go after what matters:

Actually, you don't even need to dig that deep into the roots. Just staying at surface level, London's impact on the music scene is absolutely huge. I was just pushing back against that idiot American who claimed most of music came from the US.

>>212026054
>London's impact on the music scene is absolutely huge
lol no
>I was just pushing back against that idiot American who claimed most of music came from the US.
every big british singer or band was heavily influenced by american. e.g: the beatles's inspiration came from americans

>>212025134 (OP)
Americans are perceived as uncultured barbarians at least since the mid 90s.

>>212026026
and I will remember your small room
the feel of you
the light in the window
your records
your books
our morning coffee
our noons our nights
our bodies spilled together
sleeping
the tiny flowing currents
immediate and forever
your leg my leg
your arm my arm
your smile and the warmth
of you
who made me laugh
again.

>>212026115
The influences were heavily interconnected, and British musicians incorporated their own culture better than American slops

>>212025162
The British Invasion was the 1960's

>>212026202
I posted because the 'still'

>>212026192
>and British musicians incorporated their own culture better than American slops
such? every big british singer or band always always included american elements and cultures to make it more widely known
e.g https://youtu.be/aGCdLKXNF3w?list=RDaGCdLKXNF3w

>>212026295
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

>>212026371
all took inspirations and music from American. couldn't even make their own music genre.

if you talk about cultures, Paris is more cultural than London

>>212026444
>couldn't even make their own music genre
>Most of the Beat music, psychedelic music, progressive rock, progressive pop, many part of heavy metal, new wave, industrial music, drum and bass, grime, UK garage, dubstep, jungle, Britpop, trip hop, Britcore, UK drill, hyperpop, many part of Kpop, IDM, Art Pop pioneers...

>>212026371
Radiohead feels very American, Pavement honestly feels more British

>>212026496
all roots came from american music. british invasion was also influenced from american cultures. and now, british slangs and british zoom cultures are from american's

>>212026550
>Radiohead feels very American

I don't see it that way. Some of their music has a vibe reminiscent of Aphex Twin. And also give off a George Orwell vibe, also who is British.

> Pavement
Yeah that's right

>>212026629
>Radiohead is like Aphex Twin
So this is the famous Korean education system at work?
Pavement is American btw you retard, but songs like Here feel extremely British (i.e. depressing)

>>212026660
lol, I know about Pavement well, 'Yes that's right' was the statement that I'm agree with the point that the band give off British vibes

>>212026660
I don’t particularly find Pavement’s music to be depressing though. It’s filled with gimmicks and irony instead.

>>212026577
Honestly I'm not sure weather you're just ragebating me or just an idiot

>>212026798
In terms of music for British or Korean people, this doesn't feel particularly gloomy. However, it does have a British music vibe.

>>212025134 (OP)
No, it's London and Tokyo now.

>>212026791
this is the only true british music

Trump bullshit aside, America is still the leader in nearly everything, including culture. That's never going to change. The rest of you crabs can climb over each other in the bucket for second place, I guess.

Isn't London literally on the verge of collapse?
