Chinese/ Taiwanese Pop Culture
I want to ask following questions to get familiar with Chinese Mandarin, thank you!
1. In China or Taiwan, do you have an icon such as Marilyn Monroe which means someone who made a name for herself in world of show business and who died young a dog's death yet still has influence in a way that person lived is being passed on to younger generation? I'm going to learn some Chinese Mandarin from her/ his quotes, so if you know someone who has one, it would be appreciated.
2. I would like to know who to listen to in Chinese! What do you recommend for listeners of Vampire Weekend-like alternative, also Chemical Brother-like or Kings of Leon-like indie rock? Also is it only you-tube to enjoy online or do you know somewhere I can browse these kind of musicians?
