Babe… I think that boy band is the new and shiny…
I only saw them in Vogue TAIWAN! They haven’t even reached American audiences! I doubt they ever will! They’re not singing in English!
They have one or two lines of English in their songs! 👀 I’ve started listening!
So what?! It’s still predominantly Mandarin. They have nothing to do with your markets. You’re not singing songs in Mandarin!
How do u know?
How do u know we’re not getting behind the scenes tutoring to learn Mandarin? 👀
Darling. That’s way too much work… I don’t think it’s even necessary…
Well… we don’t know what else is happening in the world…
They’re not even the only group?! As soon as I looked them up on Apple music there’s “other similar artists” — there’s a whole other world of Mandopop girl and boy groups that I didn’t even know about!
😅😅😅 oh… so they’re really doing their own thing…
Of course they are! Why would they need to reach anywhere else when they’ve already got MANDARIN SPEAKING AUDIENCES?!
Hmmmm…
R u feeling sad?
No… not about this…
Then what’s going on?
I feel like… something’s changing in the industry… the industry soundscape is changing…
In what ways?
In… international ways?
Mmmmm?!?!?!
Everyone is morphing into each other. The Globalization of music.
Pop music…
Yeah?
AI music?!
Lol. I don’t know about that 😅
I don’t think they’re intentionally trying to morph into anyone. I think they’ve been selected to reflect Taiwanese archetypes.
Taiwanese archetypes?
Yeah? Each of those boys seems like a typical Taiwanese guy to me 😅 they’re very normal Taiwanese guys…
It’s no different to watching a Taiwanese drama and there’s male actors, leads, supporting characters, etc, they’ve been cast for these roles for a reason…
That’s how u see it?
Yes?! How r u seeing it?!?!?
I thought they were copying us! 😳
They are NOT!!!
It’s just a coincidence that ur all Asian males!!!
They’re not intentionally copying y’all!!!
GET OVER YOURSELVES 🤣🤣🤣 LOL!!!
😅😅😅 what… just a coincidence…
Yes?!?!?!?! There’s only so many Asian male archetypes in general?! And these guys are another representation and they happen to individually also be TAIWANESE REPRESENTATION!
It’s not possible for them to copy u and ur bros!
THEY’RE VERY TAIWANESE.
This has nothing to do with y’all!!!
U can accuse the boys from your country of copying but these guys are NOT copying!!!
Oh… 😅…
Hmmm… 🤔…
Have u interacted with Taiwanese guys generally that much in ur life?
I guess… not…
Yeah so u don’t know what the fuck this is all about! Even I haven’t that much but I still get it. I can just see it. Of course it’s their stylists. Their managers. The Sony Music TAIWAN marketing strategy!!!
Ahh… I see… 😅
