Obviously what sort of singing and music you like is entirely relative to the culture you were brought up in, but holy poo poo traditional chinese female vocals are one of my least favourite things to listen to. What's worse is that whole "cat yowling inside an unbalanced washing machine" vocal style is what a lot of chinese people go to when they think "classy" singing so often if there' a group of chinese ladies doing karaoke they'll bring out that warbly high pitch screeching for every song.

Where are the (grand)parents in all this? There’s nobody to tell the kid that he’s being an annoying little poo poo and to stop which, from what’s usually posted In this thread, seems to be par for the course, but there’s also nobody rushing when the dude loses it and goes WWF on the child.

Part of it may be due to the fact that women were banned from performing in classical Chinese operas for many years, so you had men-only performance troupes for a while (someone mentioned Farewell My Concubine which features this fact). Also, they had to sing without any amplification and be heard in a setting where the audience was usually noisy or talking, which ends up with performers having to use a pretty shrill voice. So you have a man trying to imitate a woman by use of yell-singing, which combined with a couple centuries of cultural amnesia results in everyone thinking this is how a woman should sing. Another interesting tidbit is that some classical Chinese operas troupes back in the day would let woman perform but only as male characters. In some instances, you had entirely gender-swapped operas with male actors portraying female characters and vice versa. In modern times the gender of the role and actor are the same in most cases, but the singing styles and techniques remain. So you now have men singing as if they were women imitating men and women singing as if they were men imitating women.

Are India and China locked into a cold war over who can have the most shrill and high pitched female singing style? Speaking of ridiculous high pitched signing I recently saw an amazing performance of Rinaldo and I wasn't ready for the fact that this production decided to make both male lead roles sopranos. In the 1700's it was written for a castrato as the brave war hero, and the dashing and powerful prince and war leader was to be played by a "Travesti" (a lady playing a man's role) while singing as deeply as she could. In later revisions they made the prince a tenor and Rinaldo himself a countertennor but this production decided nope, full on sopranos for both. My wife had to stop her self several times from fits of giggles as these two men sung about war and heroism in ridiculous high pitched voices. I mean we can laugh at chinese singing but europe has some pretty hosed up traditions as well. The whole history of castrato and such is so weird. China was big on eunuchs but did they ever make em sing? They usually scooped out those gonads in adulthood so it probably didn't create that highly desirable "grown men who sing like little boys" sound we're all after.

Cultural appropriation is a real thing to an extent and does exist and can be an actual issues; someone in TFR once brought up the fact that Native American arts are specifically protected in order to preserve their authenticity and make sure the art stays authentic and is available as a source of income to people who may need said income, to prevent them being driven out of business by impostors trying to capitalize on the cachet of Native American culture. I think that's a good example of actual cultural appropriation that is potentially materially damaging to the original cultures. However, someone just wearing clothing or hairstyles affiliated with a certain culture being put forth as serious cultural appropriation is seriously nebulous insofar as what the actual terms should be in a multicultural world and who should be the arbiter of "correctness". Who has a right then to wear it? Would a half Chinese girl be okay to wear a Qipao? A quarter? Does she have to be Han? Manchu? (as mentioned by GF). This is even before you get into the dynamics of how it's virtually exclusively Western/Westernized people of (even if of Asian ethnicity usually either citizens or Western educated) who are the most given to making noise about it, which is a whole other level of problematic, as it could sometimes literally be a case of Westernized people intentionally depriving authentic artists of a new market and customers. And that's before you get into how virtually every single current culture is the result of thousands of years of mixing various close by cultures and creating new things based on that.

I think you'll find that if white culture spreads to other places, it is the oppressive white colonists forcing their culture onto everyone else. and that if you don't engage in other cultures, you are a racist and xenophobic. and that if you do engage in other cultures, it is actually cultural appropriation and you are racially insensitive. basically what I am trying to say is gently caress white people
