They don't call Austin the "Live music capital of the world" for nothing.

  You mean something like the Baseball's "World Series" when Baseball is practically unheard of elsewhere. I think what they mean by the "world" is the U.S.

    To add some evidence: 2013 Glastonbury: 135,000 [0] SXSW (music): 82,119 [1] Neither of which compare to anything on this list[2]: 10th EXIT (NOVI SAD, SERBIA): 200,000 1st DONAUINSELFEST (VIENNA, AUSTRIA): 3,200,000 [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glastonbury_Festival http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glastonbury_Festival [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_by_Southwest http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_by_Southwest [2] http://www.mtviggy.com/lists/the-10-biggest-music-festivals-in-the-world-2/ http://www.mtviggy.com/lists/the-10-biggest-music-festivals-...

      You're acting as if SXSW is(was) the only draw to Austin's music scene. ACL, Fun Fun Fest, X other festivals and the hundreds of different venues with bands playing every night all make up a a part of it.
