Arizona's musical history has been heavily influenced by Mexican immigrants. Banda, corridos, mariachi and conjunto became very popular in Arizona in the 20th century and innovative scenes popped up in immigrant communities across the state.
Punk rock
In the early 1980s, Phoenix saw a vibrant hardcore punk scene. The biggest bands included The Feederz, Jody Foster's Army and Meat Puppets, the latter of which combined country influences and became a major influence on grunge music.
