A music culture’s vitality can depend on intense local territorialization rather than global flow

Evidence

The interesting thing about the hardcore continuum is the way that during its prime it refuted all that Nineties internet and info-culture rhetoric about deterritorialisation. This was a music culture that derived its strength and fertility from its local nature, precisely from being territorialised. Indeed during the early days of jungle and of grime, it had a kind of fortress mentality. That seems to connect with its vanguardism, this military-modernist mindset. — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk, 1262
