Chang Jui-chuan (张睿铨), is a lecturer in the English department of National
Chengchi University (国立政治大学) and a hip-hop artist who raps about
political issues.
Taipei Times: What's the point of the Golden Melody Awards?
Chang Jui-chuan: To be honest, I have no expectations for Golden Melody
Awards and today's pop music in Taiwan. The general public doesn't believe
that pop music can be serious and address important social issues. It's just
entertainment. Secondly, people who make pop music in Taiwan don't believe
they have a responsibility to make a difference or change society through
their work. Music is entertainment or, worse, just a way to make money. You
may think I'm being idealistic, but looking back to the US in 1960s you can
see how pop music was an essential part of a cultural movement that turned
society upside down. Forty years later, and tens of thousands of kilometers
away, that legacy endures. Such is the power of pop music. Golden Melody
Awards is just a backslapping fest. Of course, occasionally we have great
work by people like Chthonic (闪灵), Joy Topper (猪头皮), Pur-dur (陈建年)
and Kou Chou Ching (拷秋勤). But they are few and far between.
TT: Are Golden Melody Awards more than just a product of a commercial
process?
CJ: It doesn't matter if Golden Melody Awards are just a product of a
commercial process or not. Music needs markets to survive. Even I want a
record label to promote my music and ideas. The difference is whether or not
you are aware that the production of music or cultural artifacts carries
social responsibilities. Mainstream music and film awards in the US pay
tribute to people with social convictions like Bob Dylan, Rage Against the
Machine and Michael Moore. That doesn't happen in Taiwan.
