The popular non-mainstream songs in the past include "LavitaE", "Let'stalkaboutaMan", and "GodIsAGirl".
1. "LavitaE".
Forgive me for throwing a bomb at the beginning. LavitaE is the undisputed king of dance music in 2010. Many people have used this song as space background music or mobile phone ringtones. The king of dance music.
2. "Let'stalkaboutaMan".
A dance song from Prezioso Marvin. This song should be more famous than LavitaE. It was also one of the most popular dance songs of the year. I believe many people have heard of this dance song.
3. "GodIsAGirl".
Sung by the German Dancing Elf Band, this song should have been the most popular dance song in 2003. If you haven’t heard the first two songs, then this song GodIsAGirl (God It’s a girl) You must have heard it.
The direct definition of non-mainstream in Hong Kong, Taiwan or local countries mostly only refers to the number of people, the sales volume of their albums, or even just the title of a commercial technique. Image is always marginalized and a niche thing. The outside world's impression of non-mainstream music is that it is weak, alien and even a little unsafe, and any music that is political, confrontational or subversive is classified as alternative music by local music critics.
Mainstream music is what a normal person should be exposed to. This is what we often call "herd behavior". In order to gain a sense of identity, one puts oneself in a group and uses the projection of countless people to create the illusion of greatness for oneself. Chinese listeners are the majority. Businessmen are too aware of this human weakness, which is why local music is poor.
