I'm having a problem. Do to a comment that my friend made I have been questioning my taste in music. He said that j-pop is only cool because we don't understand half the time what they are talking about. I need to know if he is making a good point or not.

its cool because you like it and no one else understands why

J-pop is cool for many reasons. The music is what attracted me. The fact that you may not understand what they are saying at times bothers me occasionally, but I get over it. J-pop is cool because you like it, I guess xD

Your interests and tastes are you're own. You like it. That's about all that matters, doesn't it? This is you after all.

I kind of don't really understand what some songs are, even in English, and when I actually listen to it, I still like it.

i like it because, it doesnt sound like the pop we have in the west. if i had to pick eastern or western pop, eastern wins. mainly because the singers can SING.

i think that just about all japanese singers sound sing really high. a few ppl sing low

Alot of Japanese singers sing low, it's just that most of them don't get the spotlight

LMAO XD a few of the artists I like sing high-pitched, but most of the time I listen to the music instead of the person who's singing. it works sometimes

alright thanks everyone

This is true, before I understood Japanese that was half the fun of J-music for me, was just the exotic sound of a different language, to this day I still love it when I listen to Korean, Chinese, Spanish, and other languages. But I would also say that the Japanese style of music is quite different from American music, the Japanese like techno-like music much more in their pop culture than America, and that's what I like. They are also big fans of crazy rock and trance music which is what I like. American music is such a turn off for me now, cuz so many of these upcomming female pop artists sound so much the same to me
