I'm an American, but I mostly listen to European electronic music, especially German, Scandinavian, and French artists. What's the creative culture like inn our country? Americans often seem to spend most of their time working, and weekends working on yard work, second jobs, or just watching TV. Sometimes I'm listening to a track and I like it, it's unique and well made, and I wonder if an American artist made it. Invariably it's a European artist. Paul Oakenfold is British, Armin Van Buuren is Dutch, Tiger Stripes is Swedish, Stromae is French, and so forth. My listening palette is extremely unusual for an American, most of whom only seem to listen to rock and pop.
