For a period of time that ran roughly equivalent to the first Bush term, it was kind of the hub for all sorts of bad metalcore. Of all types of styles. Also a style that was kind of a combination of black metal and standard metalcore (that was more of a North Carolina thing in general than just W-S though), that unsurprisingly I found unbearable since there are no elements to black metal I can tolerate in any context. It did have a few good bands though. But eh traininthedistance is right.

This is random, but could someone link me to the 2012 election results for this city list?

I know Hiahleh and Gilbert are Republican and San Bernadino and Richmond are Democratic, Boise is barely Democratic, but the other 5 I have no idea.

Well it voted 62.7% Obama in 2008, though that includes precincts that include areas outside the city limits. For only precincts that are only or predominately in the city limits, it was around 67% Obama. And the county swung less than 2 points to Romney, so I'll guess it was around 61-65% Obama depending on the definition used, meaning you could go with 63% Obama as the average.

Yeah both the average and calculating swing ways aren't perfect or even necessarily good ways to get, but +/- 3 points of 63% Obama in 2012 seems pretty reasonable.
