Trot

In Korea, there is music genre called "Trot". I think other East Asia has this kind of genre. But I couldn't find in any other country. I don't know why other countries doesn't have it. Some people said trot is similar to country music but I don't think those two musics are similar. Trot is originated from foxtrot. It is not traditional music, it developed in 1920s. This music is usually popular among old people like over 40s. So almost singers are old too. Unlike country music, young people usually dislike Trot. there is no taylor swift like singer in trot genre. Japan also have trot like music called "Enka". It is very similar to trot, I think because Korea was under controlled by Japan so Japan might inspired us. Here is youtube clip about trot, which is hit song in Korea, I hope you guys enjoy this clip, even though I don't like it that much. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF1qT0Fccbc
