Many people hear the words “pop music” in Taiwan and immediately think of Mandopop crooners wailing about their lost love, or teenybopper idol groups dancing frenetically to upbeat electronic grooves. As time moves ever forward, pop music has truthfully documented society’s sweeping transformation.”The exhibition is thoughtfully designed, with many specially-themed rooms designed to provide an immersive experience. With towels from various music festivals hanging from the ceiling, this room reflects the importance that independent acts have had on the nation’s music scene.
