No matter how the times change, music seems always able to find a way to bring people together. It needs no explanation in words, and no cultural background: as long as the melody starts to play, even strangers can feel a shared resonance.
For young people, music's social role is equally important. Whether it's KTV, music festivals, or music apps on phones, all of these give friends shared topics of conversation. A popular song can spread across the entire country within days, with people discussing it as they listen and sharing their own feelings.
