Is there another globalized music genre dominated by one country to the extent that black metal is dominated by Norway?

Yes, American Primitivism is entirely American
it started in Norway but spread pretty far by this point
also reminder the Black Metal only came about because Norwegian bands weren't good enough to play Death
you know nothing about black metal if you think the majority of current bands are from norway
the genre as we know it got started there but almost no bands worth talking about formed after the mid 90s
countries like finland, france and even ukraine have produced much more than norway since the start of this millenium
No one outside America cares about it though. I said globalized
soul desu
so they made something original instead. cool.
>it started in Norway but spread pretty far by this point
Hence why I said "globalized"
>you know nothing about black metal if you think the majority of current bands are from Norway
I didn't mean that, but you can't deny that most acclaimed black metal bands and releases are Norwegian. It is just interesting to me that a tiny country managed that
reggae - jamaica
Traditional heavy metal- England
Thrash/ Death USA
Hip hop
Sweden and swedish death metal
This
the blues are largely dominated by china
American death metal wipes the floor with the shit the swedes made
Not even true. Varg was in a successful death metal band, Old Funeral, which became Immortal, Darkthrone were literally a death metal band signed to PEACEVILLE, etc.
BM started with Venom (Bathory s/t is a poorly recorded Venom clone with raspier vocals) and plenty of non-Norwegian bands were around in the 90s before the Kerrang hype like Samael, Profanatica, Sigh, Master's Hammer, Varathron, Graveland, Dissection, Tormentor, Blasphemy, Impaled Nazarene. Most Norwegian stuff came about cuz Euronymous and friends convinced all of the DM bands to switch to BM. Not to mention plenty of bands came before Norway (save Mayhem) like Sarcofago, Treblinka, Bulldozer, Mercyful Fate.
>implying Trout Mask Replica is unimportant to global music history
this
House/EDM/Techno
>Bathory s/t is a poorly recorded Venom clone with raspier vocals
Bathory s/t goes harder than even the hardest venom songs.
post punk, shoegaze and goth are dominated by brits
>>Trout Mask Replica is unimportant to global music history
I mean, you're not wrong.
what? no it started in england and sweden with venom and bathory
hip hop no other country comes close to the us
