Controversy
LMF represents the youth culture and attitudes in Hong Kong. They have a subtle but great influence on Hong Kong popular culture.
The title of one of their most popular songs, "冚家拎" (Hum Ga Ling), is one of the strongest cursing phrases in Cantonese mingled with English phrases like "You know what the fuck I'm sayin~" . In English, "Hum Ga Ling" literally means "Put one's entire family into hell (or death)." The song is packed with foul language in Cantonese and English. Since the public response of Hong Kong to the media was and is still very conservative, LMF continued to remain low key, though it was well received underground.
The emergence of LMF has also received HKEAA's attention. In 1999 HKASL Chinese & Chinese Culture Paper II (Cultural Problems), candidates have been asked to comment on the statement "Foul Songs Display True Art".

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
