Based on the minmatar origins and the fact that even now they're very tribal, there'd probably still be a great deal of group performances like the Maori Haka.

I don't know if you've ever seen one in person but the real deal makes you understand why the Maori have been historically such aggressive and potent fighters. There's a real sense of murderous intent to the air.

Never seen one in person, but I'm well aware of its history. Maori were cannibals sometimes and the sticking out of the tongue was both incredibly rude/insulting and a "I'm going to eat you!" also "Behold the hairy man who reigned in the sun that it may shine!"

There was actually a reason why cannablism was a thing amongst some tribes. It was about absorbing their opponents Mana (power, essence) not just a humiliation thing or a heat of the moment thing. Some historians will disagree of course, usually pakeha historians.

As for the Haka itself, its not so much a 'war dance' as it is more calling down the ancestors to aid you.

Take the famous Ka Mate (Maa-tay not mate) Haka (All Blacks Haka). It came about when a Maori named Te Rauparaha was trapped in a Kumara pit to hide from enemies. He called out to his ancestors about his trouble shouting 'Ka Mate Ka Mate! Ka Ora, Ka Ora!' Which translates into 'This is death (or I am going to die)! This is life (or I might live)'

The rest of Ka Mate talks about his friend from another tribe described as a 'Hairy Man' rescuing him and bringing back the light.

I will say this about any haka. It is an experience and as someone who has preformed at the Tuwharetoa festival years ago there is something spiritual yet invigorating about the Haka

They are a race that fundamentally exports it's culture to all of New Eden so their stuff would represent and encompass social trends. Likely you'd find dozens of manufactured pop groups and artists as the core of their music culture as well as music that is popular with clubs and youths having been heavily researched and studied for maximum popularity not just in the Federation but also outside of it as well.

There is no simple answer. I do think that there would be a very big and very profitable 'idol' industry possibly with some seriously shady ends like south korea's or japan's 'slave' contracts where your label basically owns you financially, you have zero control over how they spend money on 'you', you're unable to even view your finances and if you break contract you're in the hole for what the company spent, sounds very gallente influenced by serpentis. Remember that for all the gallente 'freedom' and 'liberty' espoused the gallente are incredibly quick to ignore or abuse the rights of others if they think they can get away with it or even if they don't like how others do things. A lot of trumped up lying and shady stuff goes on in the federation. After all wasn't Aura aka Excena Foer the voice of eve for capsuleers a galentean? She was and also a Mindclash champion if I'm not mistaken. GÇ£That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die.GÇ¥ -The Nameless City

It's possible I'll make more videos for different factions. my alt is an amarr heavy so I'm sure I could throw together something. That would be epic. This is the corp vid T12 made for us a while back. If I had the tech I might try and put together some Amarr FW battle videos.
