lol ummm yeah i pretty much dont listen to any asian music at all...i used to listen to like jay chou in middle school but thats about it. asian music seems to "poppy" for me like the nsync and bsb mini cooper from like 4th grade and most asian rap is terrible. haha am i the only person here who feels that way? i'm more into stuff like dashboard confessional, something corporate, taking back sunday, jimmy eat world, jack's mannequin, coldplay, and pretty much any crunk music from the ATL

[ace.spattervenom]

No. If it weren't for my family, I probably wouldn't be listening to much asian music.
But I do listen to some, mostly sent by friends and stuff that I just liked.

I find current asian pop on the radio is terrible, whatever it is that's on. =/

I can recommend some really good asian music if u like

I listen to about 15 asian artists on the regular.

I admit C-pop is kinda like that...really cheesy to me
(no offense) I can't listen to it, only Leehom.

Try Namie Amuro! "Want me Want me" that song is crazy!

[cpopbaby19]

^lol. i think i saw that on Channel V before.. i guess Jpop is really not just for me. .__.

i used to listen full time on american music. Like the classic ones.. late 90s.. when i was growing~ xP but later on when i got to highschool, i started listening to cpop (it was kinda good and not cheesy back then..) then i found kpop, which i am REALLY obsessed right now.

well, probably if F4 wasn't around and didn't come up with Meteor garden, i'm only listening to american music (and local music [opm]). you're not alone. lol. but yeah, i still DO listen to american music nowadays. like P!ATD. <3

[MUXU]

im chinese, but i find mainstream chinese music just plain blah.

[ShukakuOTS]

if u don't like asian pop try visual kei/jrock haha

[Malice_Kaiser]

I don't think you've listened to much Asian music if that's how you really feel...

Sorry if I'm really generalizing, but I can tell Chinese music probably isn't for you. It's pretty much all poppy, and only a handful of the artists contain any actual talent (sorry, but it's true. that's just how their music business flies).
But there are a ton more genres of music in Japan and less mainstream Korea. Japan has visual kei which is unlike any other genre from any other country, and some pretty good mainstream rock to boot. And once you stray away from the pop scene in Korea you can come across some really great finds.
And though the music is harder to come across, other countries like the Philipines have some good rock bands too.

I mean if you don't wanna listen to Asian music it's cool and all. I'm just saying you probably haven't looked hard enough.

[JiNi;]

haha you're so americany~ lol.

Is it only just chinese music you've listened to? try some japanese and korean music, very nice stuff right there.

[sweet serenity]

Have you tried j-rock? The list you named is mostly alternative/rock which is a genre I listen too to.

I don't really listen to much Asian rock so I can't give you any suggestions.

I can, however, suggest some artists for R&B, hip-hop, and pop. The bands you listen to that are 'poppy' are like DBSK, SJ, etc, right?

I HOPE ur the only one who feels this way?

WHy would you have an account at *soompi* when it's MAINLY about asian music *Korean* to be specific, that's weird

I'm sure theres a lot of american forums you could find...

U;NEE is EXCELLENT RAPPER, you obviously haven't been giving asian rap all that much of a try...

and all those bands you listed are SO BORING that's one of the reasons why I hate american music, it's ALL THE SAME now, they all play guitars, all their music videos are so DUMB, but a lot of people are into it....IDK why.

ASIAN MUSIC all the WAY!

[tasty]

no, you're not the only one.

i never listen to asian music. i hate it.

and to the above poster, not all of soompi is dedicated to korean entertainment.

what do you think *Mainly* means? not all, but most...that's what it means, so I don't know you your calling idiot, an idiot is someone who "Never listen to asian music." How an you hate asian music? what a weirdo!

[snail.]

I think it all depends. Sure, there are still artists out there that will be these 'typical' boybands who'll sing these poppy songs just to entertain people. I believe that there are awesome singers that you haven't discovered yet, probably you used to hear the same thing over and over again so you just quit, but I say even if you hear that someone is overated, give them a chance, MAYBE you'll end up liking it.

[kawaiiprincess]

i haven't listened to a lot of asian music (j,c, and k)yet...
i used to have jpop cds though and kdrama ost
i'm trying to like kpop, but im mostly into kdramas and movies
in terms of philippine bands though, i'm a huge fan of the rock bands and semi pop bands too! ^^;
you should try listening to spongecola, hale, 6cyclemind, sugarfree, imago, barbie almabis, kitchie nadal, bamboo, rivermaya, kjwan, sandwich, pupil, chicosci, etc. they have english songs, which are soooo beautifully written

i saw the vid of ayashi a while ago... and i kinda like it, so i guess i have to listen to more asian music to appreciate it

[touchthesky]

i listen to an equal amount of asian music and american music.
yea well theres nothing wrong with not liking asian music. but im sure
if u keep searching you`ll be able to find something u like

look at all the sub-topics under 'soompi world', 'soompi interests', 'soompi entertainment' and 'soompi artists'

then stfu.

edit: since i doubt your intelligence, let me point out only a small portion of those sub-topics are dedicated to korean/asian artists.

Look at the banner at the top of the screen.

Don't need to be such a douche about it, buddy.

[tasty]

^ lol, i knew someone would mention that.

who cares what it says? i've pointed out the fact that most of the sub-forums have nothing to do with k-pop.

ok and yeah, i didn't mean to sound like an a.shole
