Are we the lost generation?

I am a student at a brands communication school, and we were recently told to do an animation production with music from only south african artists. I dived into it all enthusiastic and eager only to find that none of the south african music went well with my animation. Why is it that I could not find a single song from such a diverse industry? I'll tell you why, because all the music I ever listen to is american. All my class mates were stuck on the same issue as I was. It was ridiculous, everytime I surfed the net all songs seemed to go well with my project(except south african songs ofcourse. Now I ask you, does this fixation we have with all things american deem us the lost generation?
