music scene
Local artist ecosystem
A music scene is the community of musicians, venues, fans, and cultural activity around a particular genre or location: the Austin punk scene, the Brooklyn indie scene, the local jazz scene.
Scene implies a social network—people who know each other, attend the same shows, and share aesthetic values.
A thriving scene can launch careers; a dead scene sends musicians elsewhere.
