China has a huge appetite for sub-cultures where individuals could freely search for their identities. The rulership of a certain mainstream culture is actually the same everywhere in the world; the only difference is to what extent culture can be seperated from politics. Subculture is the true beauty of a life, and I'm so looking forward to seeing it growing big in China...

well i agree china has a lot more problems than the us but one thing they did right was prohibiting its citizen from having guns which is something the US needs to do

I'm not very fond of the band singing in english but i guess it's because there isn't a market at all in china for indie rock.
