Sunset Falls, Excelsior and Central City all have thriving underground music scenes. Little Love is too small to have a real music scene, but there are barn dances if someone feels like learning how to square dance.

Excelsior is... interesting. It has a very futuristic sound, with the punk scene being affectionately known as cyber punk. The sound is very synth heavy and 80s inspired. Unfortunately, many of the musicians there are industry plants and the most popular bands are all heavily produced acts that are masquerading as indie. The most notable (real) acts are the Rusted Transistors and AImusic are the biggest acts and both are metahuman - the Transistors are cyborgs, and AImusic is an AI that preforms concerts in hologram form. Their concerts are extremely underground due to the fear their performers feel. You need to work to get a ticket to it, and prove yourself an ally to metas.

Anti-metahuman sentiment is very strong in the city. Many of the shows are met with protestors. Though security will be doing its best to keep these shows a safe place, there's no guaranteeing safety for either the preformers or attendees.

Sunset Falls' brand of music has clear influences from folk music. It would also be the safest of all the cities, as the people there are very accustomed to weird bullshit and genuinely believe that metahumans have made their lives better and have made it easier to weather this. The biggest band out of their is FROM BELOW, a metal/punk band. All its members are baseline humans but they are enormous metahuman supporters who will not tolerate any shit happening at their concerts.

Central City has a thriving underground music scene comprised of both metahuman and human acts. It has the most variety in terms of sound and aesthetic. While the bands are supportive, the club scene here is less so. Metahumans may find themselves victims of harassment as they wait in line for the show. There will be drunks eager to pick fights after the show.

The biggest act in the city is Between the Curtains and Me and the lead singer is an unaffiliated meta whose only power is a pair of instectoid pixie wings on her back.
