The formulation of this idea in my head was actually one of the inspirations for starting a collaborative blog. One day, while Matt specialized in electronic music, and the majority of my focus was still within the realm of extreme metal, we discussed national scenes. After mentioning my intrigue at the stark similarities between artists within a single scene, Matt asked me if I saw similarities between artists from the same country but hailing from entirely different genres (metal, electronic, classical, etc.). After this conversation, I started looking for links between all music, hoping to unveil deeper musical trends and increase my own knowledge of music, and ultimately spawning the idea for a collaborative blog.
Of course, most music enthusiasts will admit right off the bat that differing lifestyles and regional settings well obviously influence music. But just how do these national trends manifest themselves in music? This series will serve as a first attempt to explore that question.
