Musika Jornal 16 showcases a series of articles highlighting the complex interplay between technology and the music industry, focusing on how music is accessed through contemporary media platforms and how these are created within varying contexts. These digital platforms offer both opportunities and challenges for music creators and their audiences. Within the realm of mainstream music, one article delves into the story of Sarah Geronimo, a prominent pop star from the Philippines, underscoring the importance of branding and image in artist portrayal. Another piece sheds light on the funkot subculture, a blend of Indonesian dangdut and electronic music from the 90s, illustrating how the group Prontaxan utilizes social media to promote this genre. The final article traces the historical journey of Pinoy Punk, back to the era of the Marcos regime, emphasizing how popular music reflects collective preferences and intertwines with the prevailing culture and power dynamics, inviting further academic exploration.
