In a room on the second floor of Taipei City Hall resides an exhibit on the history of pop music in Taiwan. It's not the flashiest thing, but it's significant nonetheless considering the long history of government suppression Taiwan pop has withstood. As the Taipei Times' Chris Fuchs describes it, The Song: Taipei and Me ranges from the Taiwanese folk song that became a Shanghai silent film hit in 1932 through the strict controls of the Japanese occupation to the Chinese Nationalist government's own strict controls, which lasted into the 1980s. Of course, today Taiwanese pop music is free to say what it likes, as evidenced by Taiwan MTV and the enormous popularity of videos questioning patriarchy, homophobia, free market capitalism and... o.k., just kidding!
