"Europe is weird songs that would never make it in America"

This quote by Mike Myers is a commentary on the distinctions in between the music market in Europe and America. In Europe, there is a higher approval of music that is considered "unusual" or beyond the mainstream. This could consist of categories such as speculative, avant-garde, and even punk. In America, nevertheless, the music market is a lot more concentrated on mainstream music and there is less room for experimentation. This quote suggests that the music market in Europe is more open to new and different noises, while in America, the music industry is more concentrated on what is popular and commercially successful. This quote is a suggestion that music is a universal language and that there is space for all sort of music, despite where it stems.
