Family Values — Taiwan 1999

Archive note

Promotional poster for a fictional Taiwanese music festival billing Korn, Rammstein, Limp Bizkit, and Orgy alongside local acts in a 1950s-style variety show aesthetic. The juxtaposition of American nu-metal with traditional Chinese entertainers and the earnest 'family values' framing suggests a real cultural moment that never quite occurred — a strange collision of MTV-era aggression and mid-century Asian variety entertainment, preserved here as evidence of a festival that existed only in regional entertainment trade publications. Collectors of lost Asian pop-culture ephemera and alternate-history music event documentation.
