UK vs US

they try their best

The shit that comes out the US nowadays is pretty much unforgiveable

At least bullshit like 1975 is tolerable in its twee frivolity

electronic isn't real music

no, i listen to actual music

we have grime i guess

Is grime hip-hop?

One is dancehall made by Jamaican immigrants in the USA, the other is dancehall made by immigrants in the UK both take the Jamaican MC'ing style and adapt it to localised EDM beats.

>using the term EDM unironically

US and it's not even close. Rock, jazz, pop, blues, hip hop, metal, folk. Easily it's the US. The exception would be most subgenres of electronic music. The reason that the UK took the lead in bleeps was because of the huge influence they took from Jamaica in the latter half of the 20th century, which I personally prefer more anyways.

Are we forgetting Sweden? Sweden is the second largest music exporter in the world.
