Popular Music in Your Nation

Postby Dartak » Sat Jul 16, 2011 8:54 pm

What styles of music are popular in your nation? Are there any subcultures within your nation that can be represented by a particular genre?

In the Kingdom of Dartak the Cyber Goth subculture has been gaining influence among the nation’s youth. The movement is relatively new considering the nation’s history of suppressing individual expression, and in fact some sociologists within the kingdom speculate that this particular subculture within Dartak society is largely a reaction to this tendency that the government once had toward uniformity.

The new government is far less oppressive and many of these subcultures have now begun to emerge from the underground with Cyber Goth, Industrial, and the Rave scene taking the lead among the nation’s youth.

Essentially any genre can be found within Threlizdun, though indie, alternative, folk, anti-folk, psychodelic, metal, and punk are perhaps the most popular.

Do any of these genres tend to be expressed more by certain age groups within your nation? Does geography tend to play a role with certain genres being more popular in certain areas of your nation?

The People's Republic of Arnich has produced some of the world's foremost composers and musicians. The authorities, however, have sought to control their music as well as their performances. Unless it is classified under "Recreational music" where control were lax as long as it is not political or violate socialist value. Composers who worked for the state receive great prestige as "Engineer of the Human Soul" and are among the country's elite.
Jazz is one of the most popular form of music in the country. Among the youth, techno, rock and recently rap has been popular.

Commoners:
The music the federal subjects listen to depends on what realm the subjects live in but the more popular music are often folk music from that specific realm and the music vary from that in Imeriata proper, Vedian and Erathia to that in al-Jzr al-Khḑrā, that in Salywa and Northern Tarnakan in the colonies are this however often mixed as they have no culture of their own and people from the entire absolute royal federation live next to next with one another. The same thing can be said about the dances that are performed by the commoners whom also tend to vary greatly from realm to realm

Nobility:
The music the nobility listen to are often more standardised and is similar over the entire absolute royal federation that tends to be more in the opera/classical schools or military marches to get ones blood flowing and to bring part of the glorious victories won by the royal guard into ones own home.

Jazz of all genres is extremely popular. The Burlington Jazz Festival, held in our beautiful lake port city of Burlington every year during the first and second weeks of June, is world class. This citywide festival, with artists from all over the world performing, attracts jazz enthusiasts from everywhere!. See link below - Filmed in a popular Burlington restaurant, it will give you a sense of the party atmosphere that pervades the festival.

All genres of music are appreciated, but techno and metal (and many of their sub-genres) are especially well-liked. Pop, however, is viewed with minor disdain, as it is, to many Reythanians, "too happy".
