Music can function as the sonic expression of a built environment like suburbia

Evidence

There is no insight or polemic: there are no messages and no rallying anthems. Rather, the Cure are the musical expression of suburbia itself: a dense and repetitious sound, carrying a mesmeric dirge of infinitely transferable sounds, all of which sound as though they could go on forever — like endless avenues, crescents and drives. — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk, 1062
