  1. New Agers have made it almost impossible to listen to traditional Asian music, especially Indian, Tibetan, and Japanese, without a bunch of shoehorned pseudo-science that doesn't even exist in Asia. Like, I just want to hear the music, I don't need a speech about how A432 Hz will "open your chakras and your third eye". I don't think they even care that much about the specific A-Note tuning in Asia.

    As well, they've also made it really hard to find actual authentic traditional Asian music, because they market their FL Studio stuff as "Traditional", even though it doesn't musically resemble anything actually traditionally played in Asia. You can't just put a bunch of Chinese VSTs in FL Studio and call it "Traditional Japanese". (though there are also other reasons that traditional Asian music, that's actually authentic, is hard as fuck to find. Mostly due to stuff like Mao's cultural revolution and the pressure to westernise literally everything down to the sounds of the instruments. I'm looking at you, China)

      For those who don't get what I mean, the first video is authentic Chinese music, the 2nd is Chinese Orchestra (which musically more resembles western classical music than anything actually indigenous to China), and the 3rd is New Age stuff. You're way more likely to find the 2nd and 3rd, than the first. (Though, like I said, there are multiple reasons for that, some of them quite political.). And I'm not saying that liking modern Chinese orchestra or New Age music is invalid. I just hate how it's hard to find anything authentic, and all the stereotypes that get promoted. It's kind of like the musical equivalent of tourist-traps
