Right? That is such a weird point. Atlanta has a lot of young people, it's affordable, it's next door to Athens GA which punches way above it's weight for music output and culture... It's very respectable city from a music standpoint. Especially for rap and hip-hop artists, as you mentioned.
The DnB scene in Atlanta is probably the best in the nation and far less gross than the UK's. There's some great Techno clubs too, but some of the better ones are illegal so you have to know someone (this was true pre-covid).
There's tons of world music in Atlanta too, since Atlanta is one of the primary locations new refugees get sent. That's why you can get just about any cuisine on Buford Highway.
Clearly you don't listen to rap and hip hop either
