Everytime i read something like that I wonder who your bulgarian friends are. You should have already seen tons of chalga crap, bad rap (G.P) good rap (Gumeni Glavi, Spens), chalga rap - Ustata. You should have heard the great Lili Ivanova, the great Bulgarian rock groups, the lame pop music singers of the 80s (Veselin Marinov) or good but homo as fuck - Vasil Naydenov.

Somehow I just think that you aren't experiencing Bulgaria.More or less you are still American who is on a layover in a place which is near the good places you really want to visit.
