Music in Kraffen (Arc's Kraffen)

This article is all about Kraffen's music, going into the styles, and the different cultures, that create the sounds of the world of Kraffen. 
==Different Styles==
When the "Birth of the New Earth" (the reset of culture after apocalypse) happened, music changed a lot with it, especially considering the vastly different births of all 4 countries, it has impacted their music quite heavily.
===Seizo===
Seizo is the closest thing to humans pre-apocalypse, though is 100% the majority of humans that are in poverty. Seeing as they all came from a bunker that lasted several centuries, it changed things quite a bit. The poor became more violent and angry with the conditions they were put in, so much so that they overthrew the people running the bunker system, as they found out the people running it were just rich people lying about the truth of the earth, and trying to keep the poor people below and out of society. 
This event is considered the "Seizonian Revolution", as it was the day the majority of the people locked up, got their freedom. And music played a big role in this. As resources quickly depleted in the Seizo bunker, simple freedoms were taken from the poor and given to the rich. One such thing would be a simple stereo, which became qucikly one of the rarest and valuable things to own in the bunker. The rich hogged most of these, as they were rare, and had more power over the poor. Same thing applied to musical instruments. So, you might ask, what did the seizonians listen to for music?
With no complex instruments, this lead to them sticking to beats and rhythms, as well as simple harmonization. Drums became a huge part of seizonian music, as they are one of the easiest instruments to make, and, as most of them found, can be made out of anything. This lead to a very industrial sound in a lot of their early recorded music. They would also use old pipes as simple flutes. 
So, the core of their music is made up of complex drum beats, grandiose vocal harmonies, simple rhythmics, and aswell as the occasional bass. This would make up the music of the revolution, and would continue to be the sound that would continue in the culture. Industrial, beat oriented music. 
One of the classic tribal revolution songs from the Seizonian people is "太陽の歌", which translated in english is "Sun Song". You can listen to the song here.
The lyrics of "Sun Song" roughly translate to
"Though the battle is not over
We shall see the sun shine once again"
After Seizonians gained freedom, there was a time when a few of the creative Seizonians started a bit of a music revolution, as there were several people beginning to record the old revolution songs, and also make new songs that would invent on their sound. Overtime, this lead to the most popular music of Seizonian culture to be Hip-Hop. Hip hop became popular because, it used a lot of the elements that they were forced to work with in their pre-revolution music, and a lot of their hip hop was about oppression.
Some of the most popular groups/artists to come out of Seizo would be: Shadow Songs (Abstract Hip-Hop), Pablo East (Pop Hip-Hop), and Deidrick Amar (Jazz Hip-Hop).
===Arcany===
Arcany was founded by a group of astronauts and scientists that were stuck on the world's most complex space ship, and only made it back generations and centuries later, which lead most of the population to be very very intelligent as all they grew up with is science.
When the ship finally returned to the surface of Earth, the Earth was obviously a very different place. And seeing as there were only necessities on Arcany's ship, there were no instruments. Just music from the past, though the music from the past has gotten corrupted overtime, so they only barely had remnants of their ancestors music. 
So, after Arcany started rebuilding society using their highly technological skills, they also had an art revolution, for those who simply were less scientifically intelligent, but more creatively intelligent. The music that was most popular was electronic music. This is because organic instruments just weren't really a thing for the Arcany residents, and when they came back to earth, none of those were really around anymore. But what is around, is technology, and through technology, the Arcany people have proved and firmly believe that you can accomplish anything through it. 
And so, Arcany's music was largely electronic, using almost nothing organic in their songs, because every single sound they used was programmed by them. The only thing organic in the songs are voice, which is found somewhat often in Arcany music. Though, even when they use their voices, it tends to be manipulated to sound interesting. Stuff like vocoding and autotune were somewhat popular in Arcany music.
While still largely electronic, it seems that Arcany's music has evolved to be more pop-oriented. And so a lot of the music is very lavish, perfectly programmed pop music.
The most popular artists/groups in Arcany are: Marli ZVS (Electropop), Billionaire Bubz (Hyperpop/Experimental Pop), Sammie Eibro (Bedroom Pop), and Yorke (Art Pop).
===Palekaiko===
As Palekaiko is, and always has been secluded and tight-knit, even pre-"New Earth", a lot of their music tends to be folklore, and stories passed on for centuries. So the main style of music here is folk music, as it always has been that way. Palekaiko survived apocalypse from just being one of the most undoubtedly secluded island places in the world. Staying there made them outlive apocalypse for centuries, and once it was over, they were still exactly as they had been before, some of the most peaceful persons on the earth.
Main instruments include guitar, flute, various string instrumentation, and of course natural drums. 
Some of the most popular artists from Palekaiko are: Zak Duke (singer/songwriter), Samuel Wilston (singer/songwriter), Artemis Waters (indie folk/alt-country), Dilly Bucks (country), and Pack Wolves (chamber folk).
===Kraffen===
Kraffen was birthed from a group of, essentially failed science experiments. The first members of Kraffen were amnesiacs who were preserved cryogenically pre-apocalypse. Post apocalypse, they were freed from their ice cages, with no memory of their past lives, only remembering the basics of the past world. A lot of these people were frozen in the 2000's, and some from the 1960's. One of these members was actually a rockstar formerly, and while not remembering any of their songs, they still remember how to play music, and the basics of what they made, which was rock music. So, rock music became a staple in the music that people created in Kraffen, as it was the most familiar type of music (which makes sense because of the era they were frozen).
Some of the most popular artists to come out of Kraffen are: Freezer (Pop Rock), Stereoface (Alternative Rock), and Five Inch Fingers (Noise Rock).
