- freeflight 7y agoHow does it "affect fashion, etc."? You act like China is this super isolated place where nobody knows what's happening outside of it and everybody is just a conformist wearing their state-sponsored grey unis. When in reality Chinese people are as diverse a people as any other, they are just as influenced by Western pop-culture as any other people. Case in point: Asian hip hop, yes even Chinese hip-hop has seen quite a rise in popularity. They copy a ton of tropes out of the US, like most non-US hip-hop has been doing for decades, but they also inject their own Chinese identity as part of the narrative of the songs [0]. Of course, that's a rather acquired taste, but I would easily count as "counter-culture", after all that's also exactly what it started out as in the US.
