Police subsequently raided bars and dance clubs across the county, arresting young people dancing and singing through the night.
地下電台，其實就是非法電台，從1989年誕生直到今天，台灣地下電台雖然從不曾合法過，但卻屢禁不絕，背後的原因除了其中涉及的利益鏈條盤根錯節，還跟台灣的民粹風氣有關。 Underground radio stations — in essence, illegal broadcasters — have existed since 1989.
