culture

In terms of creativity and boldness ,I prefer American genres of fiction and the unique individualism from Thoreau's Walden to science fiction but the hair raising cringeworthy genre would be those pretty boy vampires of Twilight ,oh give me a break ,what is there to fear and be horrified when girls are lining up to be given love bites on the neck by swoonworthy draculas .Give me an ugly,repulsive disgusting Dracula to get my money worth's of screams and blood curdling terror that keeps me sitting at the edge of the chair whilst closing my eyes to take a sneak peak at that gore.
   Of course that is unmatched with the K pop goodlooker in "The train to Busan" ,as our hero sacrifices himself to save the rest of humanity-but that's another story altogether.
    Now,China movies are all about martial arts,badass melodrama fantasy fiction of swordsmen and mired in historical creations of the past.,the Hong Kong ones are all about the underworld,secret society and police or sappy romance.Indian audiences gets their money's worth of 3 hour long epics with a dash of every genre thrown in from star crossed lovers, and breaking into a song and dance in all locations from city streets to panoramic landscape(where do they find so many back up dancers at such short notice).
  That's why my preference is still for alternative indie movies- a break from the stereotypical movies that are so predictable.The rock music I'm listening to now include that old rocker Cui Jian(wow his song Fake monk and dancing wildly in the snow is so mind blowing in lyrics and use of the gu zheng with guitars) ,Dou Wei from Black Panther is so edgy and experimental in singing style and Tang Dynasty with that fizzy long hair do reminds one of the Blues Gang of Malaysia.That's some badass hard rock,bro.
