I think it's friendlier overseas, but America produces the most tortured souls who parlay it into music.
It's funny you say that, I was thinking recently that the reason Britain and Ireland produce a lot of music is because (I find) socializing in these countries extremely dysfunctional, especially in Ireland. Most socializing and attempted romancing takes place under the influence and as a result often goes no where. I know plenty of grown men who have zero communication skills when it comes to the opposite sex. I think a lot of Brits and Irish have channeling that sexual frustration into their music over the years.
80's to mid-late 90's British music was real good (The Cure, Massive Attack, Smiths, Portishead, Depeche Mode, Jesus and Mary Chain, etc.), but some of those bands/groups pretty much suck now.
I've been into mostly American music, for the past 5 years or so.
Bands in America seem to be a vessel for a front man to get his career off of the ground a lot of the time. That may happen overseas as well, but there appears to be more stability and camaraderie
