137868, It's idiotic to think culture, environment, and race don't affect music.

All music based on arrangement, instrumentation, vocal style and lyrics convey the culture and way of life that the performers lived. Even concious abstraction and culutre-borrowing is indicative of a culture that allows one to do that if they deem it necessary.
Where you came up, who your parents are (if you knew them at all), and your culture's attitudes on life will affect the type of music you make, even if you make an attempt to go completely against it
