Okay, I tried getting into K-pop and J-pop but all the groups sound absolutely the same, just the same shitty techno beats and lame singing imo. I kinda wanted to get into it because I a lot of people in my area talk about it a lot and I wanted to the what the fuss is about and I'm just left here wondering why friends of mine spend money buying merch on a shitty version of Duran Duran wannabe Asian boys.
Idk tell me what i'm wrong about or whatever.

what groups have you tried
its all manufactured processed shit its like eating mcdonalds
most of it is garbage. but some of the groups are tollerable
Try city pop...
lol I don't like kpop but it doesn't seem like you are in the right attitude to get into it, by your op pic and your tone
i could give you recommendations but i need to know what you think is shit/what you have listened to so far
Go for solo artists and not the groups
City pop is jpop for Sup Forums jpop tourists. It all sounds the fucking same. Shibuya-Kei is where its at
You clearly haven't listen more than two or three songs...
I can't speak for Shibuya-Kei, I have only listen to Hi-posi
1. Do not listen to the boybands, it's 90 percent low-effort shit to get girls to cream their panties and honestly most of its appeal is about the looks, dancing, 'singing' or ballad earnestness garbage
2. The majority of good stuff in k-pop is found in high energy girl groups that draw on the best types of Anglo-Scandinavian pop music and who can't sing very well. 95 percent of Korean ballads or slow jazzy type torch songs with 'great vocals' are not worth listening to, even though Koreans are addicted to those like crack
As far as j-pop is concerned it's far better as a whole before the mid-2000s
I have listened to dozens of city pop albums dude. I'm not saying the genre is bad. I think it's good music. But it has as much variety as a genre like grunge does. Little to none. And I have listened to a lot more city pop than just 2 or 3 songs. Im not one of those walking memes who's listened to plastic love and automatically think theyre an authority on the genre.
its like they took all of the worst part of modern pop music and cranked up the volume
it's not really music for hard listening. it's just music to consume and move on from or listen to when you want to hear something poppy
occasionally there'll be a song you really like that'll stay with you for a longer period of time whether it's a title track or a b-side
if you want something with a less common sound try aoa- runway
*blocks your path*
>japanese
Is there any korean music worth listening to that isn't pop?
She is japanese, good job user
youtube.com
oh please.
Their music is less about music and more about trying to get the listener in a good mood
Korean rap is so shit, oh my god. Even spanish rap is better, and spanish rap is BAD

Well, their music might be shit, but koreans sing very well.
If you are not Korean or Japanese then it is not for you.
this is japanese pop, not j-pop
there is a difference
OP mentions J-pop too, open your fucking eyes
Nevermind I'll go fuck myself. What is the difference?
i'm saying, you speckled fucking retard, that the rec was japanese pop, not j-pop
can you read
i'm not expert on it but korea has a huge indie scene and a counter culture to the kpop part of the music industry.

No fucking shit, are you as blind as you are a complete idiot?
Shibuya-kei and Picopop are indeed superior to City Pop. Techno-kayo from the same period as City Pop is also superior.

city pop and shibuya kei are for soft-eared babbies
>its like they took all of the best parts of modern pop music and cranked up the volume

exact opposite. groups are the only ones with good music and 95%+ of it being from girl groups
>Reccing borepop
