Music of Creeperopolis

As Creeperopolis is a large country, various forms of music and dance have developed in different parts of the country. Traditional styles of Creeperian music include mariachi and flamenco from northern Creeperopolis; cumbia and corridos from southern Creeperopolis; and salsa and ranchera from central Creeperopolis. Other styles of music include banda and bachata from Atlántida, rumba and tango from Castilliano, cachi cachi from the San Carlos Islands, and cachua from Senvar. Another style of music, typically associated with the entire country, is military music composed directly by the Creeperian Armed Forces to raise morale and patriotism, not only for the armed forces' soldiers, but also for the general population. Similarly, gangs and paramilitary organizations in the country have produced their own music to improve their image and recruit new members, with this style of music commonly being referred to as narcocorrido.

The various styles of music and dance have been influenced by religion, politics, socio-economics, and regional culture. Northern Creeperian music has been described as being more formal, elegant, and aristocratic, and is commonly associated with the ruling and upper classes. Most songs and dances preformed in theaters, especially during the Second Parliamentary Era, are typically mariachi or flamenco. Contrarily, southern Creeperian music has been described as being more informal, rudimentary, and plebeian, being associated with the lower and working class. Various protest songs against the Creeperian government during the Second Parliamentary Era and the post-civil war era have typically been written in the cumbia and corrido styles. Central Creeperian music has been described as a mid-point between northern and southern music.

Common plots and premises featured across almost all styles of Creeperian music include one exerting and claiming revenge, recounting one's life story, and one's faith in religion, typically Creeperian Catholicism. Romance, however, is widely considered to be one of the most common and popular plots for Creeperian music, with both male and female perspectives of romance being portrayed. Some examples of romantic plots include searching for a lost love interest or concerns for one's present relationship, among others. As with styles of music, these plots and premises are also notably split by regional divides, with religion being more common in the north while revenge and stories are more common in the south; meanwhile, romance is common throughout the country.

Instruments used by most styles of music include string instruments such as guitars and violins, brass instruments such as trumpets and trombones, and percussion instruments such as maracas, bongos, güiros, and clavas. Lyrics to songs are typically only vocalized by a single singer; songs featuring multiple singers, either in bands or through collaborations, are not particularly common.
