Music you are jamming too thread

"When I hear those lyrics, I am not especially offended by the word "spazz".  I can barely hear the word by the time we made it to that part because I've been reduced to a nearly catatonic state. The idiocy in the song is so potent, so pure, so uncut that I've overdosed on it. This is medical grade stupidity. You can actually feel your head start to throb and burn as your brain cells self immolate in protest. Listen to this on repeat for 30 minutes would have the same neurological effect as a lobotomy. That is a scientific fact. But even on just one brief listen the song is dumb enough to provoke a full fledged existential crisis, causing the listener to question the purpose and meaning of human existence. It's the worst thing I've ever heard. And yet it's also indistinguishable from 95 percent of pop music. It all bleeds togther into one putrid, toxic, malignant cancerous lump " ~ Walsh gives the only honest review of "Beys" new album and it's completely dead on lol

Japan has more musical variety than Taiwan does.

Japan has more musical variety than Taiwan does.

Japanese musicians seem to be really good at adapting different musical styles to give them a uniquely Japanese flavor while still being recognizably from a particular genre.



I've been enjoying Japanese artists since I first heard Kitaro so so many years ago.



I'm not very familiar with the Taiwanese music scene but maybe they simply tend more toward traditionalism?

Most of it is like K pop..



There is that in Japan too, but they have so much more variety for different tastes than Taiwan, and South Korea.

Now that I think about it when I was a kid (not just young but really young, like elementary school young) I had a vinyl record of theme songs from Japanese cartoons; must've gotten it while we lived there. I think the album cover itself folded out with pictures and stuff.



I can't really recall what the songs sounded like but I remember that I listened to it a lot.



One was for a show about a girl who played volleyball, I think?



I'll have to do some digging and maybe find some traces of it on the interwurb.

This is the volleyball player's theme song and I think I found a copy of the compilation for sale on eBay.



The song is definitely familiar but the album cover/foldout... not quite so much.

Oh well. It was fun to dig into that stuff for a while.

I love Japanese music.  Their video games are excellent as well.

They have something for all musical tastes.

That's exactly why girl rock bands suck...



They copy shit. They echo as many variables as possible with their guitar play and pump out big fat musical la la la babies.



Chicks without dicks need to sing and perform without rock. They're the antithesis of rock and roll.



Chicks, fuck off.... unless you've got a mostly male backing group, you suck.

I award points for actually playing your own instruments, playing them well, and having a tight ensemble.

Personally I don't hear anything terribly wrong with their musical vibe.

It's certainly not nearly derivative as the sample-laden homogeneity of "popular" music these days.



Are you sure you aren't just mad because you could never be that cute in a maid outfit?
