This is funny...apparently everyone listens to JPop and won't admit to it

I will.

[Nix]

JPop? As in Japanese Pop? I tried listening to that, but honestly I can't stand it. Voices that high make my ears bleed

Seconded.  I never really understood why a lot of people like it either, unless you speak the language.  Though I'm sure that language has nothing to do with why people like it,meaning that they may not be able to understand Japanese and listen to the lyrics.  Some people, myself included, probably like the sound of the Japanese language, the flow and the sound of the words.

I admit everything. No shame.

[Nuke]

Well, to qualify that statement, I live in south Texas where the benighted population at large is under the shared delusion that Garth Brooks was God's gift to music.  Well, that part that speaks English, anyway.

as far as coutry goes i like the old skool stuff, like johnny cash and hank williams. all modern country music talks about is bull sex and killing muslims. old country was about suffering, not how big the tires on your truck are.

i also hate jpop. i have nothing against foregn language music. listen to metal in german, norwigian, finnish, sweedih, gaelic, spanish, potugeese and dutch, to name a few and i avoid domestic bands like i avoid domestic beers. even the metalish jpop reminds me of glam metal, which i hate just as much. sence i dont mind the japaneese language so that means that its the pop aspect i hate. japan took the us's ****ty aproach to music, subtract art and add profit. jpop is taking a crap all over the good aspects of japaneese culture. it must be stopped for the sake of the japaneese people!

I wonder if I can cause you to have an aneurism by linking to the translated lyrics of Rhythm Emotion. Or the English version itself.

[Crymson]

Lol, ayiyiyi I'm your little butterfly XD Butterfly is my "War song" XD

But umm....I don't know, I just like the way it sounds, and she's a good singer methinks

I'll grant you that.  I'm not a fan per se of old country, but it doesn't make my ears bleed like the stuff everyone around here listens to today.

Right or wrong, I kind of make a distinction in my head between "country" and "folk music."  The former with it's fake twang, lyrics a 12-year-old could write, and entirely predictable song structure...  well, you get the idea.  I can appreciate the latter though, even though I'll never actively seek it out.  A lot of older country music (Johnny Cash is a good example) really seems to fall in that category to me.  I'm trying to come up with some other examples, but the only one that's coming to mind at the moment is the band my Uncle started briefly about 15 years ago.  No chance in hell anyone outside of Duncan, Oklahoma will have heard of them.

Funny, most of my music happens to consist of Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith, Trace Adkins, and George Strait with very little Hank Williams or Johnny Cash.  I don't mind listening to old country, but I mostly throw on one of Chesney's CDs when I'm relaxing (he does some terrific soft songs) or some Adkins/Keith CDs when I'm in the car and not listening to the radio (which is often tuned to the local country station).

Funny thing is I live in central Indiana, which isn't exactly a country music hub like Texas or Tennessee.

or you can listen to some underground country like hank III. i think it more falls under psychobilly but it still kicks ass.

[Rictor]

Avril Lavigne is great for doing all night Photoshop.

 

There I said it! Aaaargh!

[Ford Prefect]

If anyone just heard an odd sound-- sorta like that whistling sound they use in cartoons to indicate someone falling-- it was the sound of Rictor relinquishing his right to make fun of my snobby artistic sensibilities.
