Bhangra is the biggest part of Panjabi culture. 

I believe part of the connection MUST be to do with all Panjabi singers' video shoots, they are directed in Western Countries (well, mainly Canada). It's the exposure of media yet again. 

Watch ANY music video you will see Canada or sum other Western Country. The days of shooting in Panjab for video shoot are LONG gone. 

Parents will encourage their kids so they can be seen on TV/ become famous - all that psychological factor kicks in. 

I've seen amritdharis who can't sing get professional videos made of them singing a song (very badly). I think it's one of those lemming jut things. When one does it, the rest want to jump on?

Bhangra is not the correct 'umbrella term' for all Panjabi music - all Panjabi music is not bhangra. And not all bhangra artists or dancers are jatt.

There's been many non-jatt Panjabi singers in the UK in the past 40 years , that actually live here.

I know, but it's mainly the bad influence of jut proclivities. Others jump on it to cater to them and those they have brainwashed. 

Look at the end of the day, what I'm saying is that this culture hasn't done us many favours. We need other more prudent directions. Low IQ people will struggle to comprehend this, but I know many of you know exactly what I mean.

I understand what you are saying and the culture of drinking is not good, but most rural folk in Panjab /from Panjab are similar to each other in behaviour. All groups drink

Just need to be united and move forward and away from it

I think making songs about it doesn't help. Just brainwashes a new generation into it.

Jazzy B's contribution to culture. 

I find it hard to tell the difference between young paks and apnay these days.  

 

The guy looks like a Pak, and his mates too ? Wearing Kara ?
