Music - the universal language

In the office today, the colleague aka The Junkie labelled my taste in music as *Singapore Trash.

Simply because when asked what's my take on Lady Gaga, the only comment I could give was, 'She is rubbish!'

Another colleague, aka The Farmer insists, 'Her music is not bad at all!'

*Faint*

*The origin of Singapore Trash:

We were on the way to lunch in the car one day. My very hamsome young Italian colleague assumed loudly I wouldn't enjoy the sort of music which was blasting into our ears. To which I replied rather snobbishly (I must admit), 'This is Eurotrash.'

To describe the genre of music from Singapore and since I am from Singapore, The Junkie very conveniently came up with Singapore Trash. The term is thus born. And the rest they say is history.



(Note: The Junkie was never in Asia, let alone Singapore and thought Singapore was in China and was surprised when told Singapore has indeed clubs, or rather disocs.)

Somebody, save me!!!

Hi Anon,

They weren't mean about it. It's just that they don't understand the sort of music which appeals to me and vice versa.

It's tough to find like-minded people sometimes.

Hmm, I never had anybody ask me to describe Singaporean music.... I wouldn´t have any idea how to do that! Is there really a genre of music in Singapore??? And yes, agree that some people are simply SO ignorant! Like they think Croatia is as hot as Singapore....

No lah, it's because I always wiggle my nose at their choice of music. And to tease me, they simply generalize my kind of music as Singapore Trash.
