What songs showcase American culture?
I am interested to learn and listen to new music.

I'm pretty sure New York and California have totally different vibes in music. But as an outsider I can only think in stereotypes.
There's this stereotype about Surf Music in California

And jazz in New York? I think...
And Sinatra Of course...

Central America - country, bluegrass (?)
There's this satire about American Small town. 😅

I'd like to know myself, honestly.

@Shine This is what I'd take as a typical American music. 😁 But it's kind of specific.

He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"
[...]
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone
And what @bijouxbroussard says, pretty much everything from Bruce Springsteen.

@Shine My favourite one is "Captain Jack"... but you asked a song that showcases American culture. I think this song captures the beauty and sadness of living in the US. But that's my subjective opinion of course.

this is my favourite.
And also look up paintings by Edward Hopper. They capture the loneliness in a modern world.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Lmao that's a pretty heavy dig right now considering the president uses that song without even realizing that it's making fun of America.
