All you capitalism folks don't know shit 'bout commies' attitude, I guess.

India ain't commie though. And even the Eastern bloc and the USSR managed to put out some decent post-punk.

>>73127438
>Where's the good music?
Lack of culture probably

>>73127438
China has a lot of god-tier traditional music and India is mostly focused on filmi. They aren't really "album" countries like /mu/tants would want.

>>73127505

>>73127539
>They aren't really "album" countries like /mu/tants would want
I think this is the issue I've been running into. RYM's chart for India is about 95% hindustani classical music. It's hard for a westerner like me to get into music that isn't neatly packaged into albums.

The "album" concept that began in the '60s and (I think) solidified in the '90s is a purely Western development. Japan for example somewhat acclimated to it because they also did to Western culture as a whole. I get what you mean though. The best music I have found that comes from outside the Western world is usually more traditional and comes on compilations.

rapping is a vocal style used in hip hop, retards on this board thinking memerappers invented rhyming/chanting to music and its exclusive to hip hop is hilarious

>>73127733
It's more natural. We say Česko or Česká. It's easier and more similar to just say Czechia than Czech Republic.

>>73129762
it's a movement that still lives on to this day
the government jails/purges dissidents
it prevents any form of free thought or expression
without that, there is no experimentation which is vital for creating new music
everything china has right now is a bastardization of japanese/korean exports

Because that's what sells digitally. That is what is recorded. The good music is not prioritized and recorded. It's performed.

wrong. I think your problem is you fail to realize you are looking for RYM-core and you aren't going to find it. China is not westernized like Japan or even Korea now. Secondly, you try living in poor and see if you prioritize making music on Bandcamp to appeal to Western audiences. Who the fuck would do that? Your privilege is leaking, anon.

also, there are actually some good Chinese bands on Bandcamp because increasing urbanization has led to more people not being as poor and the internet has opened the door to the West more.

I really would like to hear more music from China though but I feel like the only thing people ever seem to get behind is that 1930's pop and I'm not sure if that's just a meme
