Can someone explain how every good post punk band came out of 1 fucking county

Can someone explain how every good post punk band came out of 1 fucking county

You can't explain that which isn't true. But long story short, if you have a ton of counties, and a ton of post punk bands, there is more than likely to exist at least one county for which an above average number of post punk bands originate from.

sometimes there is a situation where bands in close proximity will influence each other back and forth and challenge each other creatively

>WHAT IS U2

athens was a college town that had a closely knit scene + support systems (labels, venues etc). same deal goes for olympia, dunedin, and a bunch of other weirdly small/fertile scenes- it's an environment where weirdos or people who have a shared approach/mindset can find one another and prop each other up.

>ywn be part of a new and exciting music scene

Not with that attitude

because there's only one good post punk band

Examples?

Joy Division

That's it?

oh-ok

pylon

w h o ?

pylon, b-52s, and rem are the ones that come immediately to mind, but there's a whole host of smaller bands that came out of athens. plus nmh and the whole elephant 6 deal, which can't really be easily grouped into post-punk but is another example of the vibrancy of the place's musical output.

watch their carnival video, but don't make the mistake of looking for more from them like i did
it was all disappointing

neutral milk hotel

why they divided thei're country like that? what a mess
just part it in 6 part or something wow

i always thought nmh was a louisiana band
like aren't they from ruston or somewhere around there?

Nope, they formed in Athens

True God-tier Athens band coming through.

this

fuck needing to feed off a scene user, just get an instrument, find some cool people, and you don't even have to be good at playing, just make something new and cool

you think anyone in a cool music scene waited around for a cool scene?

just stand up, say fuck it, and go for it

The latino punk scene will probably be a thing soon.
