R&P: Does your town have a music scene?

My town is very Dominican in Washington Heights, Manhattan. So bachata, salsa, merengue, and reggaeton is very popular, and it's definitely the music scene. I'm more of a rock kind of girl--be it metal rock, class rock,nu metal, alternative rock. Where I usually hang out though downtown, it's more like hip-hop and trance. And it still sucks :(
