Why Indian music is so much popular across the world

.
I’m sorry to say OP, but Indian Bollywood music to me is 99% generic garbage. Other Indian music including classical and not related to movies is remarkably better.

IMO Bollywood has consumed a good portion of your music industry. Artists elsewhere and even in Pakistan make music because they have something to bring forth. Most Bollywood songs are produced in order to fill time and add to a film, they are usually not an art in its own right. How many of these songs are radio worthy or worth a damn without accompanying dance and video? Almost none I’d imagine.

Free your music industry from Bollywood and you’ll have quality music produced in scale. You also need a healthy music scene, it can’t exist as long as it’s there only for added spectacle to Bollywood films. My two cents.

For a nation af a billion plus its not very popular outside Indian community look at the small island of Jamaica 2million population and took over the world with a thing called “ reggae” .

btw your beats that are popular nowadays are straight out of the drum and bass this little island invented .

hip hop
UK grime
Reggaeton
Bollywood new


All ripped off from this small island hence the saying goes “if no Jamaican beat musician naa eat “

pioneers trend setters this island is when it comes to music genres

That is correct and some people call these as "desperate songs".

Until about ten years ago I used to listen to All India Radio's Vividh Bharati FM service and all the pre-1990's songs I know are because of Vividh Bharati. I will post two such radio-worthy songs :

1. 'Jaag Dil-e-Deewana'.

2. 'Jab Bhi Yeh Dil Udaas Hota Hai' as performed by Khalid Baig on the Pakistani channel Geo News.


A fine song.

Both are Indian language, so no worrier for Indians. Outsiders can cry as much they want.

Japanese crazy for Tamil song
Tamil songs are Indian songs.

Japs are crazy about Rajni etc because they find Tamils outrageously funny and hilarious.

but in a nice way, Japanese culture is... strange in many ways.
