The use of the word "rap" in Taiwanese music activities is referred to as the use of mainland terms. Taiwanese media people: This is cultural inferiority!
[Global Times reporter Yu Ming] A music event in southern Taiwan was criticized by some people because the word "rap" was used in the promotional copy, which was accused of being a mainland term.

According to Taiwan's pro-green "Liberty Times" on the 10th, the "Dagang Music Festival" will debut in Kaohsiung in late March.
The organizer used the term "rap universe" in the promotional copy, saying "rap, is the most important event here, taking new steps and saying new words".
As a result, some "sensitive" netizens were very dissatisfied, saying that "rap is rap, and the word 'rap' is a Chinese term."
Others said, "Tucao, who the hell thinks of the rap universe".
On the evening of the 9th, the organizer apologized on Facebook, saying, "Thanks to the netizens for reminding us that we did not pay attention to the context of the word 'rap' in recent years, which caused a misunderstanding and was our negligence. In the process, we did not Infiltrated by any force as rumored."
The host of the island's political talk show "News Vernacular" said on the 10th that Tsai Ing-wen himself revealed in January 2019 that he would watch the mainland TV series "Story of Yanxi Palace" before going to bed, and DPP "legislator" Lin Chuyin was arrested in July 2020 I found that iQIYI was watching the mainland, and the light show drone in Kaohsiung on December 31, 2020 was made in the mainland.
Xie Hanbing, a famous graduate of the Chinese Department, said, who said the word "rap" is a mainland language?
If you want to ban, even "Taiwan" should be banned, because these two words were invented by the Chinese.
He said that language and words have always affected each other and changed, so don't be arrogant, it's really boring.
Senior media person Huang Weihan bluntly said that he was surprised to see this incident. The word "rap" cannot be spoken in Taiwan, so do you still need to use Chinese?
Haven't passed the Chinese New Year yet?
Do you still want to worship Mazu?
He believes that Chinese culture is shared, don't the Three Kingdoms, Li Bai, and Du Fu all want it?
Language is a convention, "everyone should understand it, otherwise it will be cultural inferiority".
This is not the first time someone on the island has made a fuss about mainland terms. In 2020, people and media on the island will use the mainland term "video" to replace "films, short films" and other terms, and they have also been criticized by people with intentions.
Some media bluntly stated that these people claimed that "the 'video' is a mistake that must be corrected", which can hardly hide their arrogance and the mentality of resisting communication.
