Yes the Japan music scene is actually bigger but Kpop is growing there and as people age, past biases and butthurt will be forgotten - hell the Twice J-line is a hit in Korea. Will be interesting to watch unfold. <br /><br />Will Kpop trot out gravure idol mags - probably never, will Jpop trot out more girl groups of talented babes - probably will as the younger demos are all over the kpop scene and will likely start to demand it at some point....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104650668609735792.post-61166472169812814932016-07-22T17:37:24.433-07:002016-07-22T17:37:24.433-07:00I would say that girlgroups definitely have a way ...I would say that girlgroups definitely have a way higher percentage of female fans than boygroups have male fans.Nohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04535675034845692079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104650668609735792.post-11335942695058036552016-07-22T14:33:30.220-07:002016-07-22T14:33:30.220-07:00Yeah, I agree, but I intentionally chose songs tha...Yeah, I agree, but I intentionally chose songs that hit #1 in America so that it would be sufficiently representative of pop music tastes in the West.kalliopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17373176528321113799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104650668609735792.post-24931068056229093762016-07-22T14:32:45.394-07:002016-07-22T14:32:45.394-07:00Yeah, I'm in the minority of women because I e...Yeah, I'm in the minority of women because I exclusively pay attention to girl groups.

However it's not rare to find that majority of girl group stans are male and majority of boy group stans are female because that's just how it was planned out.

Jpop is just plain weird although Perfume is damn good, E-girls are tolerable and when I need a laugh well AKB48000 (must be by now) and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu are there. Weather Girls, Popu Lady, Supergirls etc. had/have some game and there are some lookers but they just don't have the polish musically or visually of Kpop - yet.... The influx of the C-lines and J-lines into Kpop is a good thing and will likely raise or change their game back home.

I didn't even know what that was until I had someone explain it to me via twitter and when I hear what it meant I was in shock. How does the genre of music you listen to along with the fact you find those people correlate to some weird race fetishizing?(I know I butchered that spelling.) Genre's of music outside of mainstream Western music and especially in Asia aren't the most diverse because not every country is the USA and it seams that they just can't comprehend that.<br /><br />That said, we've all come across some fans that actually DO fetishize K-pop idols for being Asia, but it's incredibly rare.GONEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10580157073505854597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104650668609735792.post-10475751254964822422016-07-21T15:30:41.599-07:002016-07-21T15:30:41.599-07:00Aerosmith's Crazy has such a great music video...Aerosmith's Crazy has such a great music video.<br /><br />While I don't like either of the two western pop videos you picked out for being "fucking appalling", I think there is MUCH worse shit out there.<br /><br />I was really awaiting Catallena as the Indian music. lolNohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04535675034845692079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104650668609735792.post-49886752023887249972016-07-21T15:19:11.032-07:002016-07-21T15:19:11.032-07:00How do I cope with the rise of schoolgirl concept ...How do I cope with the rise of schoolgirl concept trends, I was always someone who really like KPOP because it had funk, hip hop and the kind of music I listened to back in High School because I prefer that over rock music.
