nesssssy Posted March 15, 2009 at 02:13 PM Report Posted March 15, 2009 at 02:13 PM Ni hao, could you please tell me what's the Chinese for goth (as a subculture representative), emo, rocker? Quote
cababunga Posted March 16, 2009 at 12:19 AM Report Posted March 16, 2009 at 12:19 AM There is a Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goth_subculture with a link to to the same article in Chinese http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/哥德次文化. So the first term is 哥德. Sorry, can't help with others. Quote
leigao Posted March 16, 2009 at 10:10 PM Report Posted March 16, 2009 at 10:10 PM Rock in Chinese is 摇滚, literally shaking and rolling. Quote
nesssssy Posted March 17, 2009 at 12:46 PM Author Report Posted March 17, 2009 at 12:46 PM Thanks) Yeah, I know that rock is 摇滚, but how can I say exactly 'rocker' as a person? Probably, some particle should be added at the end, such as 者 or something? Quote
Yeke Posted March 18, 2009 at 04:35 AM Report Posted March 18, 2009 at 04:35 AM I have read on website about chinese emo, they are referred as “Fei Zhu Liu” Quote
skylee Posted March 18, 2009 at 05:07 AM Report Posted March 18, 2009 at 05:07 AM Does a "rocker" mean someone who loves rock music? If yes, then 搖滾發燒友 or 搖滾樂迷 might be the term you want. If it means someone who plays rock music, then it should be 搖滾樂手. Quote
imron Posted March 18, 2009 at 06:32 AM Report Posted March 18, 2009 at 06:32 AM they are referred as “Fei Zhu Liu” But is this emo, or is it just non-mainstream (非主流) Quote
nesssssy Posted March 18, 2009 at 06:42 AM Author Report Posted March 18, 2009 at 06:42 AM skylee, thanks) Yeke, thanks, but doesn't 非主流 just mean 'underground'? Quote
in_lab Posted March 18, 2009 at 08:03 AM Report Posted March 18, 2009 at 08:03 AM In Taiwan, they just say "rocker" in English. Quote
ABCinChina Posted March 19, 2009 at 12:05 PM Report Posted March 19, 2009 at 12:05 PM Rocker = 偌咔...or at least it should! Quote
