Time and Place
b'@PaulinaVo can tell you like no other how strongly the time and place can influence a person, including what music you listen to. Throughout her life she moved a lot and thus she experienced first-hand how the music she listens to has changed over the different locations and eras in her life.\\n\\nWhile editing this show I noticed again how hesitant Paulina was talking about her queer experience. Of course, not everyone is as vocal about their own queerness. But then I noticed how much the conversation fired up when talking about race. In hindsight, I think some questions were left unanswered about whether she feels the need to choose between her queer identity or her Asian identity. I guess there\\u2019s a time and place for all those unanswered questions too.\\n\\nWithout reading into it too much, there might be parallels with her musical preferences. When she lived in a white environment she had to deal with some nasty remarks. Both because she\\u2019s Asian and because she listens to hip-hop. Now, where one is breaking out in an activist manner, Paulina pushes the other ever so slightly into the background. Is she conditioned to downplay her love for hip-hop? Am I reading too much into it? Let me know though the contact form below.\\n\\nConsider Supporting through https://Patreon.com/Queersounds\\n\\nFlashback Track: Bone Thugs-N-Harmony \\u2013 The Crossroads\\nQueer Artist Spotlight: The Japanese House \\u2013 Something has to Change\\nBest Live Experience: Phoenix \\u2013 Lasso\\nRecent Discovery: Chika \\u2013 Cinderella pt. 2\\n\\nhttps://PaulinaVo.com'
