Features: This book studies popular music from a media perspective, examining how changes in the carrier media of popular music have influenced 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, thanks to the convenience of carrying CDs and tapes. The marginalization or even disappearance of old media has also made it harder for us to experience the authentic side of live music. This series aims to showcase the rapid development and widespread adoption of mass communication media in China and its impact on public daily life experiences, thereby exploring the new relationships between media, daily life, mass culture, and the entire cultural structure.
