Worst / Poorest excuses for not listening to jpop /Japanese music, that you heard.

[Obelisk]

I actually read, that some avoid listening to not become a weeaboo.

 

 

 

 

Honestly, I have no idea why I making this thread only now, I had this idea even before I registered to this forum.

 

[kimchi]

This could turn out to be a mess..

Lmao so true it might turn into jpop vs kpop

[DocumentaLy]

They're not good looking.

 

They don't dance well.

 

It's too different.

 

There are no bops.

I was avoiding jpop for years because I was ignorant enough to think that it all sounds like Hatsune Miku vocaloid (which i didn't like/still dislike). Only after I accidentally listened to Daichi Miura's song, it was so good that I decided to give a chance to other jpop acts like Utada Hikaru, Scandal (jrock?), AKB48, Kat-Tun, YUI, Hiromi, Monkey Majik, Leo Ieri, etc . I regret nothing. And there are more jpop songs on my ipod than kpop nowadays. 

[Hizu]

Well, I mostly listen to kpop, but I'm sure this applies to jpop too. The same old excuse: "I don't understand what they're saying". B*tch, you listen to American pop and you can't even speak english.

[Coordi_Oppa]

Jpop sounds outdated

[Mister Dove]

why should there be a need for excuses to begin with? it is not like everyone has to listen to jpop

[Coordi_Oppa]

But i agree it is

This is me right now

[Is there a problem?]

my excuse is i don't like how the language sounds. which is interesting coz i like some jrock

[mischievous]

This is me right now

 

What are the groups/singers you like? I need more jpop in my life.

Nobody forced listen to anything, this mainly one of the struggles of being a jpop fan, there always people who come across and give their narrow opinion, pretending to know as much as we do.

Japanese language is actually very powerful sounding.

ughhhh i hate this excuse.

"bop" is one of those words that i've learned to hate because it always gets applied to songs i find extremely boring.

 

comments saying "it's such a bop" are a pretty consistent sign that i'll hate the song.

[hiraishrimp]

mainly just people saying that "it's weird" even though they had never listened to it before. also people who link jpop with tentacle porn

[Martino]

Jpop sounds outdated

This ^

[Midna]

Jpop sounds outdated

Everything is all cutesy groups

 

 

Like really? You think the whole entire genre is all idols??? Stupidest thing I've ever heard TBH, and ignorant.

[Myth]

"J-pop is hard to access."

"All the girl groups do cute concepts / sing too high-pitched / can't sing."

"All boy groups are like Johnny's."

"The bands are all old."

"I have shit taste in music."

 

Okay, maybe that last one is how I read a lot of these K-pop fans' posts.

[palechibi]

that they can't find it anywhere - clearly they haven't even tried

or that it sounds weird to them like???? what???

[The Jany]

"they're ugly"

"Japan is weird"

"pedophilia/lolicon" I really hate this one cuz I'm an idol fan

Jpop has some very complex instrumentals that not everyone can enjoy.

not trying to start anything, but all those people you mentioned sound like elevator music to me. Like. I respect them (well maybe not AKB48, but I will listen to a song or two of theirs on youtube from time to time) but it all seems like easy listening or bubblegum pop to me. Also thank god for Utada, because if I listened to only j-idols I'd think the japanese music industry /did/ only employ people with voices like hatsuni miku. I'm sure there are detailed cultural reasons for why so many japanese women in entertainment sound like they're on helium, but I'll be damned if I have to like it.

 

[~�海�~]

- They're ugly

- Sing in high-pitched voice

- Lolicon concept

- Can't dance

- Sounds outdated

- Hard to find/ not very accessible

 

Right now my playlist basically J-pop not K-pop anymore.

There's lots of low pitched singers in Japan.
