Weebs need to stop saying they "prefer Japanese Music". You don't prefer Japanese music, you just like to listen to western music in a language you don't understand. All weebcore is just western music but in Japanese. Notice how you never see weebs ever talk about actual Japanese traditional or folk music
>>130626973I like Waggaki Band, which is rock with traditional Japanese instruments.
>>130626973Nah, frog, their mainstream music is kinda interesting, like they were inspired not by top 5 of the western musicians from that era but by someone in top 20
>>130627022still weeb shit even if it has a gimmick
I have been Pepe'ing it up for the last 5 years and it only made my life more depressing.
>>130627105Kek, thanks for your testimony. I feel like even Apu posters are just trying to hide their depression behind the happy little frentard frog
>>130627103It's just rock to me. I just have a bias to that. I'll listen to it from anywhere. I barely pay attention to lyrics even in English anyways.

>>130626973>Weebs need to stop saying they "prefer Japanese Music". You don't prefer Japanese music, you just like to listen to western music in a language you don't understandLiterally nobody says this, you're making up boogeyman in your head to pretend to win arguments and justify your obsessive hatred with Japanese things.90% of the time you """people""" are the first to mention something's Japanese. You """people""" make more threads about your perceived boogeyman than weebs even make threads about Japanese music, and the latter rarely specifically makes their threads about Japan instead of a particular band or scene.You're more obsessed with Japan than the people you scapegoat.>western musicIsn't it funny how when a Japanese guy plays rock it's a "ripoff of Western music" but when a German plays rock it's not a ripoff of American music?
>>130626973>Notice how you never see weebs ever talk about actual Japanese traditional or folk musicnotice how all norwegian black metal fans only talk about black metal and not norwegian folk music
There's no such thing as western city pop THOUGH
>>130626973I watched Music Awards Japan yesterday and it was all heavily kpop inspired, terrible
>>130626973The thing that separates the japs is they all seem to know more theory than an american who has been playing for 40 years and actually compose songs around a melody and service it instead of being insanely dumbed down or writing everything around a riff. They tend to have more boring rhythm sections though probably since they aren't negrofied. Even when the bass player is showing off slaps it somehow just doesn't feel as tight or grooving.
>open desuarchive>search "japanese" or "japan">set it to search OP threadsthere's like a 5:1 ratio between retards complaining about japan versus people overrating japan>most of the threads are mundane inoffensive "Hey guys, did you want to talk about this band from Japan"
>>130626973japan gets a pass from me because they actually admit which genres and cultures they're copying while westoid weebs make up dumb labels like "city pop"
>>130631722>>most of the threads are mundane inoffensive "Hey guys, did you want to talk about this band from Japan"The problem specifically is that people talk about Japanese things and skip over countries like Italy or Korea or South Africa..
>>130631740>while westoid weebs make up dumb labels like "city pop">westoid weebs make up dumb labels>westoid weebscity pop is a marketing term that was coined by Japan in the 80s though to shill a bunch of similar sounding musicians.
>>130631748it didn't catch on until white people discovered it in the late 2010s and they went "hmm $?" they know what music they're making and can admit it openly
>>130631743How the fuck is that a problem? Japan has the second largest music market in the world, and a few years they even overtook America for #1 spot in terms of sheer annual music output.Of course a country that produces that much music is going to be overrepresented on the internet. It'd be a completely different thing altogether if Japan didn't release more music annually than say, Britain, Germany, Canada, Germany, France or South Korea but people kept on putting Japan on a pedestal. You're expecting people to ignore the second largest music market. Of course Japanese music is fucking popular on the internet, Japan shit's been ingrained in internet culture because they were one of the first countries to heavily push the internet.
>>130631776>it didn't catch on until white people discovered it in the late 2010snigga city pop was coined in the fucking 80s and it was recognized as a genre rather than a marketing term since the early 2000s
>>130631778NOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GLAZE THE UNDERGROUND BOTSWANAN DOO-WOP SCENE
>>130631784complete bs. they call it the actual genre. it's non japanese weeb asians and westos that insist japan created a unique new genre called city pop. koreans use the term more than they do.
>>130631628Seethe meltdown
city pop is pastiche representative of japan's economic boom more than being a specific genre. i didn't read the japanese シティポップ wiki article brie writing that, but it says the same thing.
japanese pop really is different though. the chord progressions can be way less repetitive and they jam a billion chords in. it becomes much more of a journey than a loop.
>Things no one saysLet the frogshits join too
>>130633079They're just copying jazz.
>>130631667WRONG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7F83UQXf-Q
>>130626973>All weebcore is just western music but in Japanese. Notice how you never see weebs ever talk about actual Japanese traditional or folk music100 percent this. You see this among the jazz tourists especially, they always jerk off fusion-funk stuff that sounds like extremely derivative copycats of American musicians. They all know Ryo Fukui and Casiopea. They have no fucking clue who Sadao Watanabe or Toshiko Akiyoshi are.

>>130637145People were spacing their posts like this on this site as far back as 2003 you stupid nigger."Reddit spacing" was a joint shitpost between /qa/ and [s4s] back around 2017ish to spam on the more popular boards to trick gullible retards. You people would write your posts with caps lock on if they spammed redditcasing in response to lower case letters.
>>130626973I listen exclusively to Enka and Shamisen music, as I dual wield my bokken and katana
>>130631628WHOREDOMSspit upon thatWHOREDOMShe never knew
until you obsessively watch old seasons of Kōhaku like me, you cant call yourself a true nippon music aficionado
>>130631628If you are engaging with this back and forth in any form, you can't claim you're just a 'wittle heking innocent music enjoyer'.You are not above the discourse. You are aware and unwilling to confront any of the argument to the fact that you just like weeb western music to be different. You like japanese music that is specifically inspired by and tailored to be enjoyed by a non-japanese audience.
>>130631628>meme that proclaims indifference>saves this meme to their computer to show their indifference
>>130626973That applies to every artist and band that doesn't sing in English, why is Japanese music always getting the short end of the stick in the music community?
>>130626973>in a language you don't understand. I speak Japanese, though. たておつ>>130631143>https://youtu.be/oawyNFr7qG0Neat stuff. Speaking of "authenticly Japanese music" I found this the other day and thought it was nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z15WeXg3eg I've been wanting to know what you call this singing style for the longest time and I still haven't figured it out. Maybe it doesn't have a name. I guess the easiest thing would be to just ask someone Japanese.
>>130642859>weeb western music to be differentHow is liking music from the world's second largest music market "different"?
>>130637945Anime website disengenuous shithead
>>130626973>You don't prefer Japanese music, you just like to listen to western music in a language you don't understand.https://youtu.be/mqlsO6iP5owYou don't possess wisdom, you just like to huff your own farts and feel smart
>>130642859genres like “””city pop””” aside, it’s obviously retarded and dishonest to claim that all Western-tinged Japanese music is appreciated as pure exotica. most contemporary music from any part of the world is going to have distinct Western influences. what’s your ideal Japanese musical culture in the modern age? does it involve only shamisens? thinking like this demonstrates that you A) aren’t very knowledgeable about music and B) are clearly disgruntled about one thing in particular, likely the song Plastic Love
>>130643919Nope. 4chan is not an "Anime Website". Direct yourself to 4chan's front page: >4chan is a simple image-based bulletin board where anyone can post comments and share images.>There are boards dedicated to a variety of topics, from Japanese animation and culture to videogames, music, and photography.4chan explicitly states it is dedicated to a VARIETY of topics. It is false for 1 group to claim ALL of 4chan. 4chan is as much of an anime website as it is a videogame, music, photography website.
>>130644273Your post must go really hard if you discovered 4chan in 2016 or 2020.
