  Music of North Dakota - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Though perhaps unexpected from an agricultural region, country music is not a major genre in the modern youth scene of North Dakota.
Many of North Dakota's universities have excellent music programs; the choir program at Jamestown College and the instrumental music programs at the University of Mary and Minot State University are particularly notable.
Today, punk rock dominates the youth scene in North Dakota, though it is by no means exclusive, with a number of death metal and Black Metal bands on the heavier end of the spectrum, to industrial and indie on the lighter side.

 North Dakota - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
North Dakota is bounded on the north by the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, on the west by Montana, on the south by South Dakota, and on the east — across the Red River of the North and the Bois de Sioux River — by Minnesota.
North Dakota is a prime example of a continental climate — it is distant from major bodies of water that would otherwise serve to moderate the weather.
North Dakota's reputation for severe weather has been cited by many as a motivating factor behind emigration and the failure of outside industry to locate in the state, though some have found this to be a secondary factor to the overall economic situation in the state.
