冷戰一般被認為起於1947年，止於1991年，可視為20世紀國家安全戰略需求所形成的一種全新的國際戰略競爭形態，文化冷戰是它最顯著的特征，冷戰的實質是對意識形態的爭奪。 The Cold War is generally considered to have begun in 1947 and ended in 1991.

自1949年台灣戒嚴開始，國民政府以反共政府對人民生活上各層面的禁錮無所不在，而對於歌曲創作內容的直接施壓，以1950年省新聞處召集的台灣省歌曲影劇書刊審核查禁委員會第七次聯席會報最為明顯。 Following martial law in 1949, the Nationalist government exercised pervasive control over daily life.

1945年8月，蘇聯對日宣戰，以北緯38度線為界分別占領朝鮮半島。在1948年南北兩分別成立了兩個政府為韓戰原因。北韓在蘇聯武裝支持和中華人民共和國的默許下，在1950年以反擊為理由入侵韓國。 In August 1945, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan and divided the Korean Peninsula along the 38th parallel. After two separate governments were established in 1948, North Korea — backed by Soviet arms and with tacit Chinese support — invaded South Korea in 1950, triggering the Korean War.
50 年代的唱片業發展以台北為中心，可概分為「翻版代工」、「自製灌製出版」以及「進口販賣」三種。1951年台灣開始出現幾家小型家庭式的唱片製作工廠，如「麗歌」、「亞洲」、「女王」、「鳳鳴」等工廠。 Taiwan's 1950s record industry, centered in Taipei, operated across three modes: bootleg manufacturing, original production, and import retail.

1975年6月6日，創作者兼歌手楊弦發起的「現代民謠創作演唱會」在台北中山堂舉行。這場被視為現代民歌運動緣起的演唱會，被譽為「辛亥革命」第一槍，而「中國現代民歌」這個提法也因此引起關注。 On June 6, 1975, singer-songwriter Yang Xian organized a 'Modern Folk Song Concert' at Zhongshan Hall in Taipei.

1979年前新聞局對歌曲採事後審查，很多歌都是到了很紅之後才被禁，出現了很多鬧劇。為了防止這種笑話一再上演，1979年宋楚瑜上任建立了更嚴密的審查制度，規定所有歌曲，必須在發行及公開播放前都要送審。 Before 1979, the Government Information Office reviewed songs after the fact — many songs became hits before being banned, producing repeated absurdities.
