문화적 배경

Filipinos have a high emotional intelligence regarding music. 'Malungkot na kanta' is not seen as depressing but as a way to process feelings. In the Philippines, singing a 'malungkot na kanta' at a party is completely normal and often encouraged to show off vocal range. The modern 'Hugot' trend has turned the 'malungkot na kanta' into a social media phenomenon where people share lyrics to express hidden pain. This pre-modern genre of 'malungkot na kanta' was used for serenading and even as a subtle form of protest during colonial times.
