Where I'm from the word can be used to describe Asian food. But even so, the word is a little out-of-date nowadays.

oh yes, the word can be used as a derogatory term as well. That's why it's not used as much anymore. But it still doesn't stop people from saying it of course, especially the older generation.

So I'm not the only one who made a stinkeye at the word oriental, and for the same reasons (oh darling postcolonialism). the last time I've heard it used, it was for perfume scent categories...it's still not cool. Reminds me of an API forum signature I read once, "I'm Asian, not a fucking rug!"

the term is very outdated, the explorers called Chinese people the Orients in the 1500s
I heavily dislike it now because it implies an objectification of the person who is being called that

What makes it "oriental"?

I think the use of this Oriental word isn't that bad actually. Of course it depends on the country but in my country Oriental means all Asian countries so seeing this anyone would think the vibe will be asian/hindi.

But then..I thought there should be an English version of Tarantallegra? So maybe it's oriental coz it's in English? Dunno but I like that word.

And I love the cover. it's so peaceful and suddenly I feel like I'm walking thru some European cities on my holidays.

In Turkey they call belly dance oriental so I usually think of Arabic music when I read that word. The belly dance kind.

“For the arrangement, the orchestra provided a sweeping yet mysterious sound and to this we highlighted an oriental-feel. In the chorus we inserted the beat from a kkwaenggwari (traditional Korean gong) and I added a Korean style singing ad-lib towards the end. With a wide range of cultures, a new kind of delight will be presented for fans all over the world.”

maybe that explains why they used the word oriental, idek
