This article was POV and had some grammar problems, I have wikified it and put in some more content. I really don't know anything about this artist, so I'm not really qualified as such to write an article about it. Whoever wrote this article seemed really enthusiastic about the artist, so maybe it would be good if they wrote a more complete article about them. --Ce garcon 08:12, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I don't see how the tone of the article is neutral--- the external link "Music of the Devil" is clearly biased against MC HotDog.

[edit] the meaning of Taimei

The pinyin for the song is "wo ai taimei, taimei ai wo". The word TaiMei is not quite as cut and dry as "Taiwanese sister". It refers to a Mei (young girl) of Taiwan however it carries pretty negative connotations. The word Taimei can mean "white trash" in the sense that the person is uncultured, crude, and dresses in flashy clothes. There is are entire pages that talk about the meaning of this word. You can find the music video on YouTube which gives a better visual idea of what the word implies. --Zeroday 08:39, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

• It used to carry negative connotations. It's become a label of pride recently though, with the resurgence is "Taiwanese pride" amongst the younger generation, the same way "white trash," "nerd," and to a degree "nigger" have been reclaimed by their respective subgroups.--203.70.93.29 05:48, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

It may be worth it to replace "Taiwanese Sister" with taimei and create a stub for taimei discussing the history of the word. Zeroday 05:09, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
