I don't think we can call the European versions of the idioms from America as parodies, this statement is false. There is a sense of humour present there, true, but they are serious in their music.

Sure, the tune on the link does feel like a tank that crashes into your house during an earthquake, yet that might also be one of the reasons the piece functions in such a fabulous manner. There's something glorious about them not giving a damn and getting a lot of success afterwards. To be honest, many European approximations of the American genres are this way.
