Why is it that most experimental music is made by Americans while the more polished music comes out of britin?

should swap the EU flag for a palestinian one

What's with the Europe vs American shit 24/7 on every fucking board? /ck/ and /int/ are the worst ones when it comes to this too
>>
>>64017098
probably because a lot of Americans are entitled and self-righteous, often seeing themselves as being able to do whatever they want, devoid of any sense of shame or regret
>>
I listen to mainly experimental stuff. EAI improvised music, free jazz, noise etc. Very few of the artists I listen to are from US. Mostly from Europe, Japan or Australia
>>
>>64018603
Well then you just have shit taste

Educate me. What are some experimental artists from the US? What type of experimental are you talking about anyway

Europeans are objectively the most self-righteous people in the entire world. No fucking wonder you guys are somehow even more racist than America is after all this time and slapping labels of "progressivism" all over your continent

> JUST let's generalize about 1 billion people

lmao. a lot of europeans are the worst because the criticize the u.s. for intervening in the middle east, yet they forget that their 'leaders' approved and sent troops too. both governments are made up of equally stupid, self centered, corrupt idiots. both thought they could walk all over mudslimes, they didn't expect them to fight back this hard. and now we are in this whole fucking mess. at least muricans are thousands of miles away from the hell-hole they created, europe is paying the price of its stupid actions.

>>64022765
Also britfags forget they invented the countries that are now falling apart in the mideast

>>64020136
Active? Bill Orcutt, Greg Kelley, Jason Lescaleet, Michael Pisaro, Steve Roden, Greg Stuart, Jeph Jerman, Alan Licht, Alvin Lucier, Charlemagne Palestine, Kevin Parks, Jarrod Fowler, etc.

I very much doubt your expertise in the genres you mentioned if you aren't familiar with those artists.

>>64022765
>yet they forget that their 'leaders' approved and sent troops too
except that we don't
>>
>>64022765
i despise dubya, the clintons and the rest of them for taking us into the middle east, but i hate tony blair almost as much for following their lead at the behest of the world corporate overlords
>>
>>64022908
yup, pretty much everything that is the 'western' world had somekind of interest in the middle east (and still has). they don't give a fuck about small-time terrorist attacks, mass immigration or the bombing of innocent muslims as long as the oil keeps flowing. so yeah we are all being fucked in the ass so some big corporate swines can have an orgy with 6 hookers instead of 4.

>>64017287
this
whats more weird is that both america and europe is wide as fuck
us got like 50states and europe has like bunch of countries
whats the point of comparing? tthen again this is 4chan and most of these fags have never been to europe
it's just meme
>>
>>64021678
You realize that a good number of asian countries are infrastructurally far more advanced than the US right?
>>
>>64022792

"Experimental" is a very broad term. There are hundreds of avant-garde musicians in the US alone. It's nearly impossible to know all of them, unless you highly specialize in that field.
In all fairness a few of the artists you named are kinda minor too.

you realize that there's more to life than just like literally shitposting in every fucking thread right?

>experimental American music

So that's how USA citizens call loud farts they making while eating at McDonalds. Very creative.

>>64021678
asia is probably the least creative continent
they might be high achievers in china but it's all about following rules there

Mad Men is such a fantastic show. That episode is amazing.

most of these people are crap compared to their european counterparts.

>>64025387
Who are their European counterparts?
>>
>>64025188
Which episode was that famalama?
>>
>>64025411

Europe had a lot of great avant-garde musicians, but decades ago (Cardew, Ligeti, Xenakis, Varese, Stockhausen, Boulez, Berio, Maderna, Nono, Scelsi, Schaeffer, Henry...)
At this time the americans are generally better.

>>64025512

S05E09, Don feels threatened by Ginzo's talent so he purposefully forgets Ginzo's idea for the ad in a taxi when on his way to present, and presents his own instead (he was meant to present both and have the client decide which was best). They win the business but Ginzo is unhappy. I think the client was that ice cream company.
