The local economy develops as people recognize innate talents that can be contributed. Some sociology of music examines phenomena of established bands, known to the public, under contract to record companies, with media coverage and public relations apparatuses in place.

Some sociology of music examines phenomena of established bands, known to the public, under contract to record companies, with media coverage and public relations apparatuses in place. The role of the fanzine as an organizational vehicle in setting up, developing, and sustaining a scene is crucial.
