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

Define "shallow"... And do that without saying that it's "themes you don't like"

I don't like most of jpop overdramatic love songs for example, and it seens that every singer has at least 10 or 20 of those... in the end, the lyrics are all the same

So... why u can sing about overdramatic love and not about sex? Sex is bad and evil?

No ^^ I didn't say that. I love loads of songs that are sexy in one way or another. However, I can't really say I enjoy people like Britney Spears, Beyonce nor Maki Goto for that matter. There is a limit to everything and I am sorry but most of the western artists tend to go way beyond my limits of tolerance. It's all individual I guess. Same would go for many of Hikki's lyrics on TiTO that I simply find disgusting. Sure there are loads of cheesy lovey lovey songs and I can't argue with that, but I would rather spend my whole life listening to Ayu's or Ku's summer songs than listen to random RnB singer singing about his/her sexual experience with a random guy in a side street. There are things called porn

Maybe it's stupid to generalize artists like this, as after all there are examples that could prolly prove both sides right and wrong.
