The culture of New York City is the city's size and variety. Many American movements first emerged in the city. The Harlem Renaissance established the African-American in the United States, while American modern dance developed in New York in the early 20th century. The city was the top place for jazz in the 1940s, expressionism in the 1950s and Indie rock in the 2000s, and the home of hip hop, punk rock, and the Beat Generation.
The city of New York is an important center for music, film, theater, dance and visual art. Artists have been drawn into the city by opportunity, as well; the city government funds the arts with a larger annual budget than the National Endowment for the Arts, and New York is a major center of the global art market.
