Minimal China - A Cultural Revolution Remixed
Synopsis
Chinese society is at the verge of perhaps its biggest change since the Cultural Revolution. Itis being driven by, which at least for China, is a new type of youth movement. The Confucian
work ethic is losing ground as more and more young people “drop out” and begin to search
for an escape or counterweight to the restrictions of the past that lets them celebrate their
newfound wealth and freedoms – without necessarily being overtly system critical. It is the
birth of a new generation of Chinese teenager. Techno provides an apolitical space outside
the usual sphere of authoritarian control. The music contains no lyrics and as such not
subject to censorship as is the case in other youth movements like in the punk, hip-hop or
rockabilly scenes. It is a space where the hedonistic expression of individuality takes place
like it has never before happened in China.
