^ while I agree that kpop and cpop are completely generic, I really disagree when it comes to jpop, as I started listening to Japanese music because I thought the "western" music was boring and lacked creativity
YUI might be generic, but when you hear a YUI song you will know it's hers. But then again if you're only into mainstream it can't be helped
It just happens that the majority of the genres that the western artists do are the ones I like the least. I guess neither of us can prove the other one right or wrong on this one. I am not surprised the Asian music is winning after all it makes sense that the majority of people coming here like Asian music else they wouldn't be here and if nothing JPOP owns everything else in my opinion, I mean whenever the MTV is on, all the songs sound the same to me with random rappers singing about cars, girls and money or girls singing about their hot bodies. Now I know not all the western music is like that ^^ just that the majority of the mainstream stuff is.
