My conspiracy theory is that the weather is so depressing that you stay inside and make music. Maybe this also explains UK success in music :)

- Aromasin 3y agoIt's also no surprise that Iceland has the highest number of authors per capita!
- marginalia_nu 3y agoProbably one of several factors. It's a pretty well known secret that a large part of why there is a Swedish cottage music industry is the historical ease of welfare fraud, on top of the already generous grants for cultural activities. You could basically get the government to not only pay for your rent, but your studio and equipment as well. Generations of Swedish musicians were living off unemployment checks while getting started. That era has drawn to a close, but there's still significant momentum left in the music industry it spawned.
