What's up y'all? JiaJin's back to bring you more stuff on how globalization has affected us culturally. For today's short entry, I'll be covering about how music has actually 'evolved' with globalization, so seat back and......hmm......read? :)

Aside from serving as a messenger of the composer's thoughts, music can also be a representation of one's culture. Before globalization, Americans would still have been singing western songs, the blacks in America would still have been doing their hip hop music and Chinese still be doing the Chacha. Through exposure to music from other countries, composers get inspired to create new forms of music and this results in the interesting types of music that you can find in songs today (e.g. in Stephanie Sun's song named '神奇', closely listening to the background music, you would notice that she actually introduced indian cultural music to conjure the type of mysteriousness as the name of the song says).
