How it's used
Refers specifically to the Taiwanese rock duo famous for their high-pitched vocals and long hair. While the name translates literally to 'motive power train', it is almost exclusively used as a proper noun for the band in Hong Kong. Fans often associate them with powerful karaoke ballads that are notoriously difficult to sing.
