Doesn't Like Dangdut = Tidak NASIONALIS ???

WAOW!!!

Just read this article from the Jakarta Post..

well, if u wanna read this post, you Must read that article first. U can read it here.

so, u already read that, huh? what do you think about that? tell me ur opinion.

Personally, me, i don't like dangdut too. Like the article said, you can't blame someone for liking one type of music just as you can't blame someone for liking nasi goreng. Dangdut is Sooo not my taste in music.

Yeah..yeah.. u may say lo gak nasionalis! ga mencintai budaya musik dalam negri, ga menghargai sejarah musik dangdut, bla..bla..bla.. honestly, saya akan lebih memilih mendengarkan musik2 britney spears yg semakin ga jelas itu drpd harus dicekcokin sama lagu2ny dewi persik. But it doesn't mean that i don't appreciate dangdut, i really really appreciate that! in fact, i do believe that Dangdut someday will go international.

But, even that day is come.. u can force someone to love dangdut just because he/she is indonesian. I mean, it's like u force some jazz-mania to love rock. or R n b-mania to love country music. see.. masalahnya bukan terletak pd nasionalis-tidaknya seseorang terhadap musik dari negara asalnya. Tp ini soal taste.. selera..

The truth is.. about dangdut, i have soooo many reason why i don't really like it. not just because the rhyme.. (The fact is, i love the rhyme.. it makes u want to shake ur hip everytime u hear it). But mostly, i don't like dangdut because of this..

this..

..and this

Selain itu juga ga suka lirik2 kayak gini :

"Waktu tamasya ke binaria
Pulang pulang ku berbadan dua
Meski tanpa restu orang tua sayang
Aku rela abang bawa pulang"

(so damn..bitchy!)

atau yg gini..

"itu sifatnya lelaki
yang meniru kaya kucing garong
Awas harus hati-ati
bila si kucing sedang beraksi"

(kalian..para lelaki, ga tersinggung di sama ratakan kyk gini?)

Oke,,oke,,saya taw gak smua dangdut itu kayak gini. Aliran musik lain pun juga bnyk yg se-bitchy ini (lebih parah pun bnyk). But as far as i know, everytime i turn on my Tv and see the dangdut concert, show, contest, or whatever they called it..in tv. i always see..The "UnCensored" show. *u know what i mean?* and looks like the government didn't give a lot of attention there. (* saya masih ingat ketika you tube di block dgn alasan mencegah pengaruh aksi pornografi. hei..knp ga mulai dr media dalam negri dulu?)

so, i think before the image of dangdut can change into a better perspective, Indonesian people still can't love it like they love pop, jazz, r n b, and other style of music.

so, what about u? do yo love dangdut?
