from what i understand, neither; london is too poisoned with the industry that people have irreversable careerist tendencies, selling out is the point for most bands.
on the other hand, new york city is going thru a de-culturalization, with places such as cbs and tonic closing, among many others; again, there's this music business virus going around. practically, all the good musicians/bands/artists are being chased out to brooklyn, mostly.
but i can't say since i haven't lived or seen a scene developed from the inside in any of the cities. guadalajara is the future though.
