Are you sure about that? Or is that a narrative you'd like to believe because it supports Western "greatness"? Plenty of non-Western countries have financial and physical infrastructure that rivals anything seen in Europe or North America.

    That's funny. All one has to do is move out of one of these crappy western countries with all their social issues and corrupt governments, skip the 10M, and understand a decent living standard isn't about quantifiable material conditions. Even 50k would be life changing in most of those places.

    I took this photo at Brickcon 2024 IIRC. May or may not be relevant to the forum, but thought I'd share. While this is a well done piece, It's also true that Kpop/Jpop dominates a lot of western media's view of "Asian music". But I do love some luk thung (ลูกทุ่ง) which is Thai folk music. There's also Taiwanese RnB and Vietnamese and Cpop.
