this could be completely b.s. and a dumb stereotype of Asian culture in some parts of the world...but quite a few people (white people, to be precise, lol) think that might be part of it too. |
it's not really. people with repressive lifestyles tend to be from predominantly more rural areas with a more conservative type lifestyle. Most of these people u see there are from parts of the world such as Hong Kong, Shanghai, Hanoi, Saigon, Taipei, Manilla, Seoul, etc. etc.. cities where people never sleep at night and life is always the on the go and where revelry among those living a priviledged lifestyle is very commonplace..
the electronic music scene is huge in Asia and bigger than it is here in N. America. It's also much more widely accepted where large corporate sponsored events take place which is much more closely adapted after the European model. these cultural anemeties provide a reason for people, even those in an older generation to seek out this type of lifestyle.
of course, there is also another big reason, but i'm sure u guys don't need me to tell you what that is..
