I think the reason why people are telling you to try different music is because it looked like you were stating your opinion as fact in your first post. I'm not saying that was your intention, but that's what it came off as.

See, what I got from the title of this thread and your first post, was that Japanese music is waaay up there, and everything else is... well like you said, crap. I'm not saying you feel this way, but that's how you wrote it out. I'm just getting this all from the word "standards". I felt as if you were saying that if you like only Japanese music, you have high standards. And if you like western, you have low standards.

That's just what I got from. Again, not saying you feel that way because I don't know. But maybe next time you could try wording what you mean better.
