Why can I never get a good title?

So, I wanted to touch back on the topic I covered in...I think it was the double post, and I'm too lazy to check.

Music has always been important to me. I documented this in a previous post, about a month back. When I find a new song, or artist, or genre for that matter, I will listen to it 24/7. I'll sleep to it, I'll listen to it at school, and at home while doing homework. I don't care whether it's house, country, Top 40, or Christian, I will listen to it day or night. The process will probably go for about one week, and then I won't be so distracted.

But what happens when you discover a CULTURE? I should probably start from the beginning here.

Back in about, oh, I think August, I started watching MLG. Now you're probably thinking, John, what does gaming have to do with music? I'll get to there in a second. Now with MLG I mainly concentrated on watching Starcraft. I occasionally checked on the COD stream to see how OpTic was doing, but I mainly watched Starcraft. And, I think it was around this time when MLG started inviting Koreans over to play, and I was mesmerized. The Koreans were just...amazing. If you saw the 1 hour plus match between Boxer and Rain, you would understand what I am talking about. That was just turtling on steroids, and just a true massive war. But that first thing helped me become interested in Korean culture. Now, everyone makes jokes about Korean dramas, and I could care less about them (Watch Ryan Higa's video about Korean Dramas, and you'll see what I mean) but over the past weeks or so, I've began to watch their variety shows on YouTube, which I'll admit, are pretty hilarious. Korean culture is a lot like Filipino culture in that their media is based on double- and triple- threat stars. And those stars basically run the media and the TV channels. In Korea, everything is based off the stars there. They MC shows, they are the ones that star in the dramas, and of course, they are the ones that sing.

Now, you've probably found out that I discovered Korean culture. It's pretty funny how it happened. It's amazing at the entertainment empire they have built there. While, admittedly, it's probably not very healthy, the sheer size of it is just...wow. If you look at American bands, there are usually around 3-4 people, with one lead singer. In Korea, groups can be as big as 13 people, and all of these people are experts in dancing and singing. There's a wealth of talent there, and not only that, they take people from all over the world to participate in their  entertainment industry. I don't know how they can have so much talent there, but whatever it is, it's gotten me more interested in the Asian entertainment industry. Now, it's not so bad to listen to some Chinese pop songs, whereas before, I would only listen to American stuff. I've been able to broaden my interests. Now, I can listen to music from both Europe and Asia without wincing. I've been tolerant, and I think that this is only the first step. Who knows what else I'll find? I'm hoping that it's not Bollywood.
