Thats very impressive. When I was 5 my parents would play blues music and 'adult alternative' like the indigo girls and etc.
@other_life how old are you? What was popular with the kids in the midwest? In inner city schools in dallas texas you either liked my chemical romance or lil wayne.

Not Jay Z?!?!!?Lil wayne was probably the first artist I recognized as being the most popular artist when I was growing up
100% correct. I never heard indie before I started listening to John Peel which I only did 'cos of reading NME, because they put Def Jam on the cover.just ask @luka - noone in London has heard a single smiths song before the Hertfordshire, Oxford, Cambridge massif forced it down our throats. The legal stations have never carried any relevance in london, even noone listened to london turkish radio on 1584 AM because it was shit. We opted for bizim on 104.2

It had a urban black listenership in London (as did reggae) and crossed over to a lot of white people, following black cool as white people tend to do.He said no such thing, he was talking about the class stratified radio and mainstream musical context, you daft hamburger fool. and I think you have a bizarre idea of growing up in essex. I mean you would go into london to the mixed soul/rare groove clubs where there would def be black people. plus he himself is mixed race. Why are you being like gus now and trying to disavow the racism and lack of elegance of American
teens? This isn't some provincial village in Wales like craner, its right on the outskirts of London.
