You mean all modern pop music...

Not if you insert "Western" before "all" 😀

And changed "based on" to "influenced by". And Bach quite liked a I-IV-V progression.

It's almost as if no black people, who are musicians, from the continent of Africa ever went to Europe to listen to classical music, which was the pop music of the time, and didn't influence or were influenced by it. Don't get me started on the Roman Empire and the influence of the peoples form Africa. @SerendipityJane

You will like Kneecap then, they are not happy with Starmer's stance on Palestine or the British government in general

I doubt you were alone, that, his appeasement of anti-semitism by a few in his party, or his views on Irish republicanism.

Edited as decided it is better to ignore that kind of comments.

True, but I comfort myself with the knowledge that I wouldn't have wasted it on the likes of Johnson if I had had one. And I do have a vote locally. I also have a stake in the country I live in and pay tax in, and implying that I matter less because I'm not British is not in the spirit of these threads.
