Most are spending their time working hard to be able to live. It may be urbanized but that hasn't changed anything. It's a rat race. No time for being a little sadboi NEET making indie folk music in rural Michigan.

pretty much this. they live in a a highly competitive society where most people live like fucking slaves. also don't forget about censorship there, people are only allowed to listen to what the government wants them to. that severely hinders creatives. looking at other east asian countries, south korea is more liberal in terms of freedom of expression that's why stuff like kpop is allowed to exist but they are being treated like insects too. if you think about it, a kpop industry is the only thing that would make sense in the hyper capitalist society they live in thanks to ameriturds. japan treats its people the best way, even if it's still way too harsh compared to western standards, that's why we see a lot of western influenced acts popping up there.

it boils down to most of asia not really valuing art because they are too busy being exploited.

gooks are all the same and they lack the self-awareness and creativity required to make art

Just one instrument sounds like a whole orchestra. Amazing.

they're pretty much all the same and they all definitely lack self-awareness

why does all chink music sound so stereotypically gooky and chinky?

>>74974913

cause it was created over a hundred years ago and established the modern stereotype?

>>74974913

because they're using gook/chink scales. Just like a-rabs use ancient towelhead (egyptian) scales. Still makes musical sense.

>>74975057
you could have simply written "chinese version of americ anfootball"

This may not be solely Chinese but all three parts
are damn good.

China has an awesome musical history and culture. But it's just history. In modern times China hasn't produced a single work of art worth its own existence. Modern Chinese music is just a bad mirror of western music.

What do you mean by 'modern'?
And it's not really 'western music' in the sense that all popular music in the west originated with african americans.

>>74974506
Faye Wong

>>74974884
This was hard to watch. The music's great, but how the fuck has her fingers not fallen off? This gives me the ickeys.

>>74975609
Bad mirror of J-pop and the like. Sometimes, China does feel like a bootlegged Japan to me.
They kind of have everything we know from those countries, but cheaper. Or worse. Or less.
Although they don't have a porn industry for example.

>>74976115
it doesnt make sense to label music by where it originated from at the beginning if the current styles include recent innovations made by people not of those origins

Fu Xi made some nice folkish doom

Went to a music festival in China though and it was shit

Chinese people listen to K-Pop mostly, that should tell you all you need to know.

Well art is a European idea, so it's not exactly a mystery why it isn't a big deal in other continents. Creative pursuits have their value and Art certainly exists now in Japan, Korea and China as well as everywhere else, but it's not from there so it's like an imported industry.
That has nothing to do with music, however.

As a chink I can confirm that non-shit art is indeed a European idea.

>>74975684
I love Carsick Cars, only chinese band I know of though !

>>74983509
You moron, africans were making art long before europe even existed.

>>74983475
>European word made to describe a European philosophical pursuit based on European craftsmen's work in Europe coinciding with an era of European philosophy that would become the enlightenment isn't European
I understand most of the people on this board are idiot teenagers and Americans who think 'art' means pictures and is a word they can use to pretend the things they like are s'special', but art is an actual thing you know nothing about and you're a retard.

Shit.

And no the first cavemen were not even human (inb4 I already said they were African). They were other species of hominids.

>>74983730
>Africans were practicing ideas that didn't exist yet before they existed
There's difference between art and crafts. Not every document is a magic special artwork. Or are you trying to argue that Wrigley's is an art factory that produces chewable arts?

Now stop shitposting about art because you clearly haven't a fucking clue about it.

Faye Wong is pretty good.

>>74984848
wat?

>>74984947
If the Chinese government forces its people into slavery (they pretty much do) that wouldn't be competitive. It's quite literally the opposite. The only competitive part of China is Hong Kong for obvious reasons.

>>74983831

What were they crafting exactly?

>>74985072
Moving from class to class is a hard thing anon and involves a lot of competition. That's what they all want.

>>74974913
maybe because you're used to the commercial american sound of virtually all popular music

>>74974913
Because americans like you are brainwashed and only people from the outside can see.

>>74985557
western music is objectively superior

>>74985557
I'm a chink and he's right.

It's not like it's biased or anything. You're still brainwashed, like i said.

>>74985741
Self-loathing is the Devil's business.

>>74987015
>Self-loathing
It's not a loathing, it's an accurate assessment regarding Chinese vs European culture and art. One is strictly superior to the other and it ain't the Chinese.

>>74987049
It is self-loathing, but then again you Chinese treat everybody like insects, so you wouldn't notice if it was.

>>74987049
>One is strictly superior
superior at what?

cultural imperialism?

>>74987189
Art, creativity, culture, take your pick. Chinese culture crushes the individual and in such a situation real artists will always be forced to compromise.
>>74987144

>>74987827
First off I do have a connection to that culture, as I was born there. Secondly why does accepting that some cultures are superior to others imply that you necessarily loathe the lesser culture? I love China, but it's culture is objectively backward and inferior to the west ESPECIALLY when it comes to anything that involves the free pursuits of the individual, such as art.
