Pickles, your bluntess is wonderful. Bang on.
And really, what should music sound like? It's not like coutries should have their own genres of music and there be no crossovers. I belive there are traditional sounds of world music, and then there is rock, pop etc... it's global
, not copied from the country who started it first or has the biggest market. Every peice is individual at it's own level, but from a global perspective music isnt contained by borders. *begin emotional music*
