AAPI Music’s Influence in
Pop Culture
APEX: Acknowledging Particular Elements w/ Xai
Why is Music in Pop Culture Significant?
“Songs have a lot of power: they can comfort, calm, inspire, and educate us, to name a few things. Furthermore, songs have always served as a mirror to the world, reflecting events as they occur, and music, possibly more than any other art form, changes society.”
What is Pop Culture?
“In the modern West, pop culture refers to cultural products such as music, art, literature, fashion, dance, film, cyberculture, television, and radio that are consumed by the majority of a society's population.”

Activity: Choreography
Split into six groups, each representing an AAPI country.
Listen to that respective country’s music in groups and learn the choreography shown in the music video (Only do the choreo for the 1st min of the music video).
After that, groups will perform in the front for 1 minute.
Significance of AAPI Music in Pop Culture:
Diversify peoples’ music taste while developing an interest in new cultures.
Music is a way to connect with different people from different backgrounds.
The rising popularity of AAPI music like K-pop and J-pop, brings awareness to more genres from different cultures.
Some genres of music are more popular than others, but people have the potential to boost their popularity by supporting artists from different cultures.

I’m a casual watcher that wants to keep up with the trends (shounen)
Attack On Titan, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia
PROS:
Safe, good sets and interesting premises
stunning fights scenes, gorgeous animation
Lots of people watch these shows so you’ll be able to hold conversations.
CONS:
Casts of characters are relatively same-y
When these shows try to take itself seriously, it ends up being silly
If you’ve watched one of these shows, you’ve pretty much watched them all
I need to fill the empty void in my heart (romance)
Bunny Girl, Your Name, Fruits Basket, Oregairu
PROS:
Easy to follow, easy to root for romances
It is very clear who the main couple is going to be so you don’t need to waste your time
Satisfying journey
CONS:
Melodrama is a bit much sometimes
Story gets a little less interesting once the main couple gets together
Might be getting too old to appreciate High School romances these days (maybe that’s just a me problem tho)
I cry to make me feel alive (drama)
I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, Welcome to the N.H.K. Violet Evergarden
PROS:
Very emotional, but also very realistic
Characters actually act like human beings, I would say you are guaranteed to at least feel some sort of way
CONS:
These shows are pretty heavy.
Hipster shows that you’ve probably never heard about (???)
Summer Wars, Haruhi Suzumiya, Sakurada Reset
PROS:
Experimental, the episodes very in quality. Some hit, some don’t, and
it’s very noticeable.
Underrated anime to spice up your watch list!
Not the most popular shows to watch, but I think that they’re worth your time
CONS:
It’s hard to talk about these shows with other people because most of the time, you’re probably the only one who's watched them (lol)
Gold Standard (adventure)
Neon Genesis Evangelion, Shin Sekai Yori, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Baccano!
PROS:
Very introspective, philosophical, genre-defying and genre deconstructions
If you like shows that go above and beyond to tell a legitimate story, I’d point
to these first.
CONS:
Very slow burn so try to stick it out during those first few episodes (even the
beginning episodes are important later on, so the payoff is worth it)
Pretty complicated to follow
