Have you ever thought about the fact that nearly every Chinese child learns some sort of instrument and practice it all throughout their youth. Yet, China basically has no musical influence on the world.
Do they? I hadn't heard. Well, they seem relatively insular, culturally, and what I've seen of it does not resonate with us at all.

>>85565824Untrue. Most of their work is copying the work of Europeans. Classical music has transformed among Europeans, taking the form of Metal. Europeans keep the classical music spirit alive.
>>85565835>Most of their work is copying the work of EuropeansNTA but that's why they're good, if it weren't for Asians then that work and its spirit would be completely dead
You would think they would do cool brainy shit like using math found in nature to create music. Like TOOL did with Lateralus. I truly believe Asian people lack creative spirit. https://youtu.be/9R4bIiF8-eM?si=7gSUcFtbIr4LCfy3
>>85565835Asians are the talent pipeline.
>>85565803Meanwhile little ol' Mongolia somehow has greater musical soft power than China. It's crazy.
>>85565803>>85565911>I truly believe Asian people lack creative spirit.And why do you think that is?Maybe it has to do with them being too collectivist for that?But yeah, I agree that there's a feeling, an impression you get that asians are only good at imitating mechanical or mental procedures, and not very good at being creative, original.But eastern thought has produced many valuable ideas that counter-balance western ideas, and if aliens came and somehow erased all of that, that would've been a great loss.So I don't know what to think of this.Maybe their creativity works on a different time scale?
>>I truly believe Asian people lack creative spirit.I strongly disagree. There are as many Asians with "creative spirit" as there are non-Asians. Ya dig?>>85565929MONGOLIAN CULTURAL EXPORT SUPREMACY
>>85566681>There are as many Asians with "creative spirit" as there are non-Asians.Examples?
>>85565824>Asians are the only reason classical music still existsYes because europeon autists (and some nippons) are too busy building synths and playing janky music on them
>>85565835metal is just folk music for edgelords
>>85566741you say that like it's a bad thing (oregano)
>>85566878it's not bad but it makes the comparison to classical music pretty silly
I like metal because its one of the few times where you see white people acting collectively aggressive. I guess the drum beat activates something in their brain.
Tbh its not a fair statement. They have no exposure to our musical landscape and we don't know theirs, due to The Great Firewall.China could be harboring the next certified hood classic and we wouldn't know
>>85566932The Firewall is to keep things out, not to keep the Chinese in.
>>85565803Metallica has played some shows in China
