What's holding Sikhs back?

I just passed through Leicester Square and there were some Punjabi “street performers” dancing to the “3 peg” song.

I feel sorry for the British Sikhs. You guys probably can’t escape from such buffoonery!

I find current Panjabi music cringe, especially pop and rap. 

The overuse of autotune, disgusting videos with smoking, rented cars and random brands makes it even worse.

 

there's no originality, they take hit hip hop tracks, change them up slightly, not enough that you don't recognize what they are, and put some trash lyrics over it, no originality, pathetic message in music, it really is cringe

I'm guessing from the very little bits I've heard of that ^^^ kind of Punjabi fusion music, the people making them now hardly know anything about music theory, because the key of the sampled track doesn't fit with the key of the Punjabi tune / lyrics, which makes it sound like nails on a blackboard. It's nastiness for the ears.

Trying to find a wife I'd guess?

I haven't been there in years.  Darn peasant culture!  

Were they wearing paghs?

Panjabi music now is limited to artists getting caught in preplanned controversies every other day. 

Swearing has become so normalised in Panjabi music because of rap/hip-hop. UK Panjabi music also contributed to popularising these new genres in Panjab. Young people in Panjab are so obsessed with singers, they even swear at each other over them.
