Boundaries, faultlines and differences...

So today I discovered Chad Future, an American music artist who does English remix covers of KPOP songs.  Here's an example:

Yes, he's white.  And yes, he does covers of Asian music.  Is he a 'whiteboy' KPOP star wannabe?  I certainly don't think so.  Why?  If you watched the video, you'd know.  He has MAD talent.

Now, we're all very well aware of trolls on the internet.  Trolls, also read as s or cyberbullies, often reside in the far corners of the Interwebs.  They feed on sincerity, hard work, and hopes and dreams.  They mix themselves in with the normal crowd and sometimes go undetected.  That's why, it should really be no surprise, that trolls also exist within the BABY fandom (of BAP).  They called Chad Future a piece of , called him talentless, told him to stop, told him to go die... the list goes on and on.  We're all entitled to our opinion; that's something we often take for granted.  And it's my opinion that people who cyberbully others (as trolls often do), should be punished and taught a life lesson.  

It irritates me that some people think music has boundaries.  Music is music is music.  So what if that white kid is singing KPOP?  So what if that black girl grooves to Punjab music?  And honestly, what business is it to anyone that the Latino grandpa gets his jive from Swedish folk music?  

Seriously, I both love and hate the internet.  It contains some of the most amazing things I have ever come across... and also some of the most irritating pieces of garbage I will always wish I could forget.
