camwynI have long held that one of the reasons for the cultural stagnation of the Fallout universe is that rock and roll failed to develop there as it did in ours. Oh, it appeared, but briefly- very briefly. A few wonders, like the King, appeared and made themselves regionally famous, but then vanished from sight. At best it was an aberration, a blip, something more remembered for producing nonsense like 'One-Eyed One-Horned Flying Purple People Eater' than anything of real note. Rock and roll was, after all, a music of change and rebellion, and that just isn't something we see in the Falloutverse no matter how hard we look.
At least, not in the States. I can't help but wonder if there was a brief time overseas when it might have existed in other countries long lost to the Bomb, and I kind of hope it was, because without it the image of an Enclave junior officer kicking back in the Adams Air Force Base command crawler in the wee hours of the morning, chair-dancing to the scavenged sounds of an ancient German record on which only the track Moskau is still listenable, wouldn't exist.
