Tamil Culture
Hi, I am currently doing research tamil culture and have a few questions:
- Do you think Tamil culture is still creating new music genres, art forms, aesthetics, or cultural movements today? If so what?
Black music genres like hip-hop, R&B, house, techno, reggae, and others were created by Black communities out of their own histories, speech patterns, rhythms, social realities, and cultural experiences.
Do you think Tamil culture is investing enough energy into creating entirely new musical forms, aesthetics, hairstyles, fashion, photography styles, and youth cultures rooted in Tamil experiences?
Sometimes I wonder if we’re too focused on adapting existing global frameworks instead of inventing new ones.
What would a truly original modern Tamil sound or aesthetic look like if it wasn’t built primarily through Western or Black musical structures?
2.What are your thoughts on this^?
Edit: I am talking about music genres, dance or art forms that doesn’t have any connection to religion or religious celebrations.
