What is playing the role?

There are four main nouns that we usually use to describe directions. They are south, east west and north. However, the people on the earth are generally separated into two groups, that are western and eastern. The people live in east and west are almost different. They have different life style, culture, belief,color of skin and eyes, thought, history and on and on. However, they are human.
So far, eastern people is trying to be western people. They listen to English song of many kinds. It is not wrong to listen to the English songs but they just imitate what western people used to do foolishly with no reason. I wonder why.
lets' talk about song^^
Normally, we find pop, hip hop, R&B song interesting. Those styles of song are mostly from west. The agitating bass produced by the rhythmic drumbeat is background music of the western song that attract us the most. We will be steamed up if we listen to a song with such agitating background music. Even though the lyrics there have no meaning, the music will still play the role.^^ We may like the music but not the song. Since, we like them ,so we search for them. That is why I find many friends started listening to the western songs..I mean English songs.
One fine day, my friend and I were going to a place by my car. We listen to radio and a song was playing. My friend said that the music is good, but the lyric doesn't bring any meaning to him. He was not even satisfied about the singing skill of the singer. However, the song is the famous song recently. What is playing the role? The music or the song? It shows that most people don't really care about the contain but the atmosphere the music could bring to them.
I like the song 甜蜜蜜 by 邓丽君. simple but meaningful...LOL!who appreciate the song as well?

  1. Bass is really an enormous attraction towards adolescents nowadays, nevertheless, not exactly every western songs were what you described.
    I insisted to listen to western songs because they had good rhythm, the singers had better singing skills and I found most of the songs inspire people. At least when compared to chinese songs for now which are totally trash. We can see participants of singing competition like super idol often choose old chinese songs, you should know why. Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Miley Cyrus......they are not bad. And if you listen to some of the soundtracks of western film, you'll find more surprise. For the retro one, they are a lot more better, ABBA, BEE GEES, ELVIS PRESLEY, J.D SOUTHER, BONEY.M, WESTLIFE and many more.
    Here's one recommendation
