I can barely grasp the meaning of your superfluous reort. I will assume that, whilst you were typing your response, you were still recovering from your New Year's hangover; that is the only logical conceivable reason I can conjure up to explain the asininity of your words. To disagree with something, we must first understand it. Since you are barely comprehensible, it is inanely (not insanely) difficult to refute your statements.
But I do understand one basic fact:
our restricted population is NOT the reason for our inability to produce high-rising bands the way we raise high-rise flats. Jamaica, popoulation approx. 2.5 million, has produced wonderous music which has revolutionalized the world. Iceland, population 320,000, has set the milestone for some of the world's best metal acts. Finland, total population approx. 7 million, and Sweden, total population approx. 9 million, while slightly more populated than Singapore, have both contributed a great amount of musical influence in many genres of music; pop, metal, disco, to name a few. These statistics directly contradict your statements on our country's 'population size' being a hindrance to the significant musical output of our country. No, there are deeper sociological reasons involved here that transcend your reasons. These reasons are inextricable to some of our country's governmental policies that have both directly and indirectly prohibited the ability of most Singaporeans - both on an individual and collective level - from sustaining the growth of a noteworthy music industry in Singapore.
I smell confusion and intellectual befuddlement from you. Bring it on?

It is wonderful to see that a thread I started almost a year ago has sustained itself. This means that there really are some people out there who care for the growth of our music scene. If interest and passion could be truncated into productivity and an active imagination, who knows where it could lead us in time to come.
