Too safe, nobody seems to know how to think outside the box in terms of producers, melodies, and arrangements.

Are you for real?


By "western", I'm assuming anything that's not Asian. One has to be extremely narrow minded and ignorant to dismiss such a gigantic amount of the music industry, from the underground to the massive stars.

But even if "western" is USA alone, it still applies. Every industry has generic, bland and streamlined, overproduced music but I find the Asian to be particularly bad.

Anyone who instantly dismisses "western" music as not being unique or original are no better than the people who go "ew, Japanese music? that's weird".

People do not seem to understand that "Western music" does not mean "only the music that is popular / on the radio"
