Talk:Music Scene (bands)

The key
This page is, in my opinion, the key that will help Wikipedia to improve all the articles regarding popular music genres and related (neverending) discussions. Dr. Who 02:01, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

A music scene is group of fans, bands, venues, and record labels that make up a local artistic community. Venues host shows for fans, who come to hear bands, who may or may not be distributed by a record label. Strong music scenes are made up of groups of people who support each other and hold a good sense of camaraderie. More often than not these scenes feature many bands with crossover members and associated group productions.

Examples of strong scenes include the Liverpool music scene, which in the 1960s was responsible for poplarising the Mersey Sound, and its most famous band The Beatles. These bands had been playing locally as part of the scene before becoming more famous.

The New York punk rock/new wave scene of the late 1970s was centred on the CBGBs venue, and spawned band such as Talking Heads, Ramones and Television.

Cities/Regions in America With Strong Current Music Scenes

 * Seattle, WA


 * Washington, DC


 * San Francisco Bay Area

New category
I do not agree with this move, I created a few hours ago Category:Music scenes that should work also with other music genres, such as jazz (New Orleans jazz, latin jazz "sub-genres"), world music, electronic dance music genres ("Detroit" techno, "Goa" trance, "Euro" Trance)or even formerly active genres that later become something different, such as
 * Darkwave --> Gothic rock


 * Krautrock--> German electronic music, new age, ambient music.
