Asian music VS. Western music (in terms of creativity)

[Maemi]

I say Asian

[Yoake]

Asian it's why I started to listen to it!

[Kingdom]

i would take koda kumi & co over anyone in the western market

[stickyrice]

I can't really say one is more creative than the other but I personally prefer Western music.

[noidea]

I prefer asian music, with western music to me everything sounds the same, all the big pop(and rock) artists basically sound the same, look the same and talk about the same topics, that becomes boring after a short while+ western tv shows are mostly playback...

[hearted]

well, i like both, but i listen more to asian music so yeah, i pick asian

[fantasma3c]

Asian music is more ideal

[emi♡]

uh...it's really hard to say...there's sooo much music out there...I don't think any one is more creative than another...but I think there are a lot of mainstreamy sound bands in the west...even the indie bands are like mainstreamy sound now lol

So I guess I listen to more Asian music...but there are very few people there I would call "creative" and even less who are in the spotlight...

I think I have to say Western music...but not for the bands and people others would think of. I'd say for people like Dream Theater, Queensryche, Cyndi Lauper, Pat Benatar, Annie Lennox, Metallica (before St. Anger anyway)...all kinds of old people lol

I can't deny what people in the western industry have done for music...the Asian scene just kinda...tweaks stuff, which is nice, because for me, the music is more enjoyable...but in the end...the western scene is more innovative....

hard question.

[Maemi]

@emiko you're kinda right, it's like...almost everything came from US and England ^^' And also the artists from Asia make smth that can't be compared to western market. So i guess i really made a hard poll

[AyUta]

Asian music definitely. So much creativity and emotion is put into their music

[Embleu]

Western. Most mainstream Asian pop (esp. Korean and Cantonese pop) sounds like rehashes of things Western artists have already done, so I'd have to say Western artists are more innovative, at least. With the exception of CREA lol.

i agree with all of this. most of the asian artists i've listened to borrow elements from western music, but imo a lot of them do it better.

I agree with you.
I mean, I likes both but Western music is more creative

[evolution7931]

WESTERN for sure... WAY more creative.. unless you're talking about TRADITIONAL asian music, J-pop etc just takes Western foundations of music and adds their own twist

Westerners invented modern music, end of story

[pommy48]

asian just because i feel like most western music feel too repetitive to me

[Ayumi27]

Dividing into asian and western it's way too generic to say... But I find a lot of western artists more creative than asian ones

[dreamland2.0]

The reason why I started liking Asian music is because it sounds better than western music. I don't care who 'invented' it, I just think Asian music sounds way more interesting, nowadays at least. I hardly think rapping about sex and violence creative
However this is not the case with all western artists of course.

[~Inori~]

I don't know which to chose because it's all the same to me you know? Music is music.

[rookies]

Asian music, IMO.

Good point^^

I started listening to asian music cause i though it was very creative compared to western music... but one day i just understand that they are not more creative, they are just different of western artists...

if u compare western artists with western artists, a lot of them sounds generic

but if you compare asian artists to other asian artists, a lot of them sounds VERY generic too
