Venturing outside of pop music, is anyone else a fan of Boris/Envy/Mono/Ghost/etc.? I'm getting really into experimental j-rock. The japanese post rock scene in particular is amazing and they have some great psychedelic bands too. | ||

1. No K-Pop in here lol. Out of here, I despise J-pop for how they try to throw in random English with horrible pronunciation and timings. | ||

I haven't had a chance to read all 29 pages of this thread yet. I'll make sure to view it in it's entirety on the next free dreary Tuesday evening I have available. But, I want to get a couple things straight about this tread. What counts as J-Pop? Just being in Japanese and released in Japan? BoA is Korean and makes albums in Korea and Japan. So, does all BoA music count as a JPop or only her music in Japanese? And what about BoA's English Album. Would the be classified as Jpop, Kpop or something else? | ||

Do you have any recommendation for songs by any of those bands? I like a lot of Jrock that I have heard, but I'm not as familiar with it as some more mainstream J music. However, I have been listening to Uplift Spice recently. I think they are pretty cool. Anyone here ever listen to them? | ||

Anyone here ever listen to them? Mono are a post-rock group. Post-rock is an instrumental genre that mimics classical music in its execution (songs are typically quite slow with very extreme changes in tempo and volume) and I couldn't suggest you a single song but rather the album "Hymn to the Immortal Wind" Boris are stoner/sludge/noise rock. Good songs are "Pink" "Ibitsu" and "Just Abandoned Myself" Envy are a post-hardcore/experimental screamo band much in the same vein as a group like United Nations. Ghost are psychedelic folk. It's hard to find a youtube link to a good song but anything on the album "snuffbox immanence" is fantastic. | ||

This guy is an awesome guitar player, but it does sound kinda empty; the band being only him and the drummer. | ||

As for BoA's english album... yuck lol (techincally American Music). But you can always talk about how like lets say, how Japanese Songs sound similar to American songs or something. | ||

It's only logical to group artist/band according to the scene that they are more known for. BoA was definately way bigger in Japan than anywhere else so she would be J-Pop. | ||
