Defining OPM (Original Pilipino Music)

Original Pilipino Music (or OPM) is pretty much alive and well. But what does OPM really refer to anyway? The nationality of the composer? The singer? Or the sound of the music? Does mainstream and indie matter in defining OPM? In this video, I try to give my own take on what OPM is today to the best of my ability.

Dagdag ko lang para sa dulo. Sinasadya kong 'di banggitin ang "mainstream/indie" dahil para sa'kin, ang pinaka tinutukoy lang ng "mainstream/indie" ay yung aspetong produksyon ng musika at hindi yung tunog. Isang patunay nito ay may kakayahan na ang mga "indie" artist gumawa ng mga kanta na umaabot sa Top OPM Charts ng Myx, Spotify, Youtube, at iba pa.
