Symbolist poetry/art from the early 20th hundred.
The space: a small, sometimes overindustialized city
Theme:Same things happening over and over again until they drive the poet/artist mad. Extreme boredome. Nature in agony. Illness and sickness in the same two story town.
There's a hundred year old poem by a Romanian writer which is called Two Sttory Town. The firts Story is about the poet sitting in a graveyard. The second story is about the poet sitting next to a dead woman with her broken wings...
Well...Tom Petty was probably influenced by Symbolism!
