This study aims to deeply analyze the cultural politics of popular music in university fine arts courses in Asia. Through comparative research methods, this study conducts a comprehensive exploration of the popular music fine arts courses in universities across different regions of Asia. The research findings show that the popular music fine arts courses in universities in East Asia demonstrate strong cultural resistance in terms of musical style innovation and lyrics content expression, while those in Southeast Asia are more significant in terms of ideological integration and commercialization integration. This difference stems from the uniqueness of the social and cultural environment in different regions and the different perceptions of mainstream culture by students. This study provides important references for the optimization and development of popular music fine arts courses in Asian universities, and helps to further promote in-depth research on university fine arts courses in the cultural politics aspect.
