Never seen any chinese music thread. Anything from the 70s-90s there that is comfy? Or is it just pop idols?

Yeah to my knowledge it was mostly mainstream pop in the 70's / 90's (the best being from Hong Kong and in Cantonese imho). In mainland China The first rock star was Cui Jian in the 80's and punk became quite big in the 2000's and from there some indie/post-rock whatever started to emerge. Plenty of cool punk bands in Wuhan for instance, gravitating around the Vox bar.
Also I was drunk at a party with Faye Wong once and shamelessly flirted with her as I had no idea who she was.
Good times.

have you heard Han zimmer

NTS radio has a show called East Never Loses which is mostly selections of Chinese music. Some of it is pretty good.

Weird response. Do you even get why we're talking about California Dreaming in relation to Faye Wong?

>>127285679

All I remember is that she's really cool and that she was pissed at her husband (the second one I think) because he's apparently some borderline conman and was using her fame to promote an artsy fartsy festival or whatever.
For me it was just some random party with free drinks where I was invited as the local friendly westerner musician.

"we"? you don't even realize how narcissistic you are. seek help. and yes ive seen the movie.

What Wong Kar Wai should I watch tonight

>>127290020
I'm not allowed to mention personal experiences in relation to a discussion or I'm narcissistic. Got it. You seem hurt.

I wonder if they have small experimental scenes we don't know about, like there's the Chinese Merzbow or whatever

>>127292047
>Chinese Merzbow
China is so huge that you can find almost everything there but this is pushing it and going to be very very underground.
Bet I can do is this:

there is no

>>127292047
All chinese are good little hivemind bug people who function completely in service of the collective. There is no chinese "art" that expresses the will of the individual so there is no experimental music

>>127294022
"art" is gay af anyway

https://youtu.be/hSSLO6CL-RA

>>127294022
Not all of them. The individuals suffer...and suffering leads to great art. But it's few and far between.
The whole idea of "China" is fake and gay too. There's a whole bunch of regional cultures, but they're slowly being eradicated by CCP bug people. Including well outside China. They're now brainwashing Tibetan and Mongolian kids to be "Chinese" and stop using their languages.

It's not any different here, our NPCs are just tuned differently, see the "current thing bad" phenomenon. Most humans do not have free will.

>>127294654
>The whole idea of "China" is fake and gay
The whole idea of "China" is millenia old though and so is its culture.
>regional cultures
These are mostly kept alive for tourists today but China is and always has been a huge melting pot with everything thrown in together.
>brainwashing
It's also known as 'education' and learning Chinese is just the way to go if you want to succeed in China somehow.
All Chinese kids also learn English but I don't see anyone calling it 'brainwashing'.
