Contexto cultural
Music is often a collective experience. If you say you like music, expect to be asked to sing Karaoke (đi hát Karaoke) at the next social gathering. In Hanoi, there is a strong culture of 'Nhạc Trịnh' (the songs of Trịnh Công Sơn). Listening to this music in a dim, quiet cafe is a quintessential Hanoian experience. Saigon has a vibrant live music scene. People here often say they like music to refer to 'Acoustic' nights at local bars or cafes. The younger generation is obsessed with V-Pop and Lo-fi. 'Nhạc Chill' is a common term used by Gen Z to describe their listening habits.
