Heck, right now, I will credit the UK with keeping Rock alive while the North Americas are dominated with rap.

If you only like to consider the MTV generation...then you might be right.

But I'm sure you are aware that the best music happens underground.

 

As long as it is velvety, I'm fine with that statement.

And that is why I said dominated. You can never call something that is underground "dominating."

 

 Bardicverse is right that much of modern musics roots originated in the US. Mostly in the South, by african-Americans. The blues of the Southern African-Americans forked into Jazz, rhythm and blues, bluegrass, and rock.
