I've never really thought of Austin and Seattle being alike. There have also been Portland comparisons, but I think they're both way off. Some even compare Austin to Columbus, but I don't think that's accurate either unless they're only using population size. Culturally, the climate, the housing stock, job market/economy/industry base, we're just not really much like them. I sort of feel like Texas cities are doing their own thing and are different from the rest of the country. Not that I have some kind of notion that we're special or anything, it's just that Texas is different. Same goes for Nashville. I've never thought of it being anything like Austin except for the music thing, some hills and a growing tech job market.
By the way, I hate country music and grunge/90s rock with a passion. They're both just awful. For example, I go back and forth on which is worse. Bush the band or Bush the president.
