| Look at our newspapers and TV programs nowadays,
we always may see a lot of entertainment news of Hollywood or Japen. This shows we pay a lot of attention on foreign affairs and apprciate them more. Every foreign singer or group seem once come to Taiwan, they will become hits and make a fortune, even if they are not so famous in thier own countries. It is kind of irony. Why do we young generation seek for foreign affairs? I guess maybe it means we are update and fashionable by imitaing them. It is cool to be fashionable and unique for our young generation. Constantly influencing by foreign culture, we might lose some our traditional qualities. For some foreigners, they feel Taiwanese students are much American like in every aspects, such as behavior,thinking, and dress. Based on this flux,we creat a new Taiwan as the combinition with western and oriental culture background. As to the pop music in Taiwan,we may see Taiwanese seem start to trace back to our true local music instead of well-decorated music. A-mai(張惠妹), power station(動力火車),and金門王李炳輝 are jsut the best examples. They represent some qualities of Taiwanese, especially 金門王李炳輝. I think it is a good situation that our people start to focus on our own culture now. And I hope this will arouse people to value our local culture and encourage those musicain to creat more songs of our own style. |
