American music is a mesh of the latest genres, as well as the early ones. There are many artists blending older styles such as new wave, folk, jazz, ambient, etc... with modern styles of music. There isn't much of a distinction of specific genres anymore. There is heavy competition over awards, and making it big. There are a lot of international artists who have made a face in America. There are still select independent labels and/or bands who wish to remain independent and not make it big. The underground music scene is pretty involved around the country. Music is at its peak here in America. Everyone wants to be a rock star, american idol makes voices heard.....its everywhere.
