A simple visualisation of how the popular taste of music in Australia compares to that of the United States of America. Presented as a mirrored, stacked graph it tells an interesting story not only... how our musical tastes compare but how they've developed over time. It shows the emerging phenomenon of pop-rock (where the pop and rock genres merge in the late 90's early 00's) along with the death of "popular" folk music in the mid-90s and its resurrection in the 00's. One thing is abundantly clear: Aussies love to rock!
