One of the things I’ve struggled with in Chinese is finding Chinese songs I find interesting. Most of it is just pop music. It’s OK (no pun intended), but it’s usually not very interesting. There are a lot of ballads (boring), but some dance songs which are at least more energetic. What I’ve been trying to find is Chinese rockers and rappers. Who are the Chinese equivalents of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, or The Clash? Are there punk rockers who sing in Chinese?
Yesterday, I found a website (www.chinese-forums.com) and there was a thread in there about Chinese rock music. One of the posts linked to a Chinese rock video on YouTube, and I found the video above in the Related Videos section.
I can pick out phrases here and there, but nothing more. I’ve found the lyrics somewhere else on the web, so I’ll probably go over them and try to figure out what they mean. Musically, she reminds me a bit of MIA.
