Chinese indie’s dilemma | ABC TV

Is indie music in China growing up or selling out? My story for ABC TV on Wuhan’s punk history and what it means for underground scenes to land in the spotlight.

Ft Li Ke (Wild Records/Vox Livehouse), Krish Raghav (comic artist, Chaoyang Trap House), SMZB, Shii, Hualun, Re-TROS, Bohan Phoenix, Wutiaoren, and a flash of the cringe anti-Blackness of Higher Brothers because we have to talk about that.

Screenshot of video with Jinghua standing in a laneway papered with gig posters. The headline says 'Before Covid, Wuhan was best known as the birthplace of China's punk music scene.'
