The welcome to Mississippi sign says "Birthplace of America's Music". Is this true?
>>130153870>Robert JohnsonYeah pretty much
>>130153870America got their start in London.
>>130153870It's there or appalachia
>>130153870Delta Blues was First Wave Emo
Delta slave songs are the roots of all gospel and blues and jazz and all those uniquely american music forms
>>130153870Thats pretentious but sure fuck it. It is. If you ignore all classical music and American pianists over the centuries.
>>130153870Yes, black people whining about shit while strumming their geetarrs is America's music - and it did originate in Missishitty.
>>130155784Thanks for the heads-up, Reddit.
>>130156430What else would be "America's music?" Jazz isn't accessible enough, and our early folk music overlaps with Canadian and Euro folk too much to be considered especially unique to the US.
