Features: This book studies popular music from a media perspective, examining how changes in the carrier media of popular music have affected its fluidity. During the CD and MD era, music could be played freely in private spaces, but it also permeated public spaces—stores, supermarkets, waiting rooms, cars, taxis, airplanes, bars, and hotels. Familiar pop songs could be heard even while waiting for elevators or making phone calls. Today, the amount of pop music we listen to is far greater than at any other time in history, thanks to the portability of CDs and cassettes. The marginalization or disappearance of old media has also made it harder for us to hear the authentic side of live music. This series aims to showcase the rapid development and widespread adoption of mass media in China and its impact on people's daily experiences, thereby exploring the new relationships between media, daily life, mass culture, and the entire cultural structure.
