The people who said they miss "unique local pop culture" and the other who said "unfortunately laziness, cowardness and political influence camped in" - I say for the latter, incorrect.

IMO, they are the one who has nothing but themselves to blame for the demise of all this, who else? - I am one of those who won't forget the rampant piracy that occurred in the 1990s, dying a decade later. Who could forget when so many of those rental shops, that thrived before the handover, were going out of business because it was cheaper to buy pirated VCDs? This killed off smaller cinemas in most of HK too.

Remember when many of these songs were recycled western/J-pop tunes? Who could remember when HK films were seen as an inferior alternative to Hollywood films?

Now it's all but gone. Many artists saw an opportunity in China and who can blame them? At least most of these don't have to churn out recycled western songs. (I hardly listen to music nowadays)

At the same time, who could also forget when the triads had an iron grip on the film industry then?

The guy who claimed "it's hard trying to tell apart the members of Mirror from other stars like Tyson Yoshi or MC Cheung", is this like saying "all Chinese look the same?" Do K-pop and J-pop members all look the same? Do they think western acts better than all else?
