This research critically examines the notion of creative city as a causal mechanism in changes in production and consumption in the urban and suburban regeneration of Osaka, Japan, and Bandung, Indonesia. It also draws attention to the effects of the “creative city model” in the cultural policies of these two cities within globally competitive economic platforms. By doing so, the research critiques this model vis-a-vis the potential of artists, academics, art activists, and creative people to seek alternative cultural sustainability.

In term of this, the paper intends to consider American rock ’n’ roll has come to function as a mode of humanization and emancipation of Bangkok youngster rather than ideological domination. In order to understand this process, this paper aims to focus on the origins and evolution of rock ‘n’ roll and youth culture in Bangkok in the 1960s to 1970s. The birth of pleng shadow and pleng string will be discussed in this context as well.

Although the Cambodian music scene in 1960s was largely influenced b y was closely tied to local regime and politics. Second western culture and music , its fate was closely tied to local regime and politics. Secondly, it explained the phenomenon of the recent revival of the 1960s Cambodian rock music b y focusing, on two multinational rock bands, Dengue Fever and The Cambodian Sp ace Project.
