We have jpop and kpop, where is the cpop? The only things I can find through lazy searching are from a decade ago.

Had a bunch of buddies into Jay Chou but I think that falls in the 20 years ago category.

Not at all, I'm old. Really just curious if there was a current pop scene there or not.

You have K-Pop, but Chinese pop doesn't exist. Chinese rap (crap) exists though.

Edit: joke. Korean pop- k-pop. Chinese rap - c-rap. I don't actually think Chinese rap is crap.
