In terms of music (both taste and what is produced there) Mainland Europe > Asia > US = Australia > Latin America > Africa > other countries > Antarctica > UK
There's only so much goodwill I can give the dumb ****s in my country for letting Emeli smash over and over and over. Their taste really is horrifying. Emeli is going to save the music industry. Again.
James Bay, Royal Blood, Years & Years and Chvrches are examples of amazing new groups/singers from the UK. Too bad the Uk's reputation was tarnished bc of the horrible songs released by Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran.
I was close to using HAIM but then they became friends with Loose and I can't stan for artists that befriend terrible human beings. It's like Lorde all over again. Their album still slays though
