Certain forms like calypso, punk, disco & classical are more location dependent than others, not always for the same reasons. Really big-time venues rise above any one (sub)genre.
Working shanties – Changing locations in good fashion is the litteral definition of seafaring. Not a lot of that music heard these days.
Pirate opera – moves seamlessly from '50-'60s urban coffee house to video game and the interweb. Still going strong!
As long as there are people there will be music but a commercial venue (producer) needs customers to pay the rent.
