Is there a group that has done less for music than white Americans? Europe gave us classical and most rock genres worth discussing (prog, krautrock, post-punk etc.). Even black Americans gave us jazz, blues and soul. And Afrobeat is better than most (white) genres to come out of the US. I suppose it's not surprising that a nation of consumers has no creative spark.

Inventing a genre is not the only nor necessarily the greatest creative endeavor a composer can undertake

The only good American post-punk band was Television

Slint is the obvious example of innovative music to come from young white Americans that immediately springs to mind for me... but in general, I have to agree with OP.

>>64070612
incorrect. plus, my point was that americans invented 'post-punk' before the sex pistols even existed.
>>
>>64070680
But what they 'invented' sounded completely different to what was eventually British post-punk.

You have to consider the irish and jewish immigrants in the US too, which were alienated but contributed lot of music to american culture.

so your argument is that American post-punk didn't exist because it was not the same thing as British post-punk? wew lad.

But what is the value of their contributions (even just subjectively) compared to other groups?

>>64070891
No my argument is that they were two different things.
>>
>>64070917
>what is the value of their contributions
On a scale of one to 10 with 1 being those uncontacted tribes like the Sentinelese and 10 being white Europeans, I'd give them about a 7.5

Is there a sadder sight?

>>64070917
>compared to other groups

Folk-rock > British Invasion
Psychedelic rock > Brits only had Floyd
Brits beat Murica with prog
Zappa > the whole Canterbury scene
US post-punk > UK post-punk

The only music that matters is classical (invented by Europeans) and jazz (invented by black Americans).

You can't dictate what music matters and what music won't
