No really, It's not a joke, J-POP is so super happy, about cuddly happy things that make people smile but when I look at English songs its about sex, drugs, bad times in life etc. That's so depressing and most of these people suck when they play live, but everytime I hear something live in Japanese there voices is almost as if it was studio quality. Let me compare just to show you what I mean, I don't know what to compare to however, I've spent the past 15 years of my life listening to J-Pop (No joke) I can't find any rock that would match this video so I'll just post whatever comes up on my first youtube.
UK/US: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0ECl8_XL2c
Japan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRZ3YJ_yXdg&feature
Now lets take a look at two big people currently in Japan, and UK/US thats all over the place.
UK/US: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWNaR-rxAic
Japan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_x0GDeW77w&list=FL
Why does all of the songs we English always listen to always have things to do with some kind of''Dirty girl'' looking for someone's number, or something about a devil and that. It makes me feel even more depressed when I hear songs like this. No wonder the rate of teens self harming has went up, its clearly got something to do with today's music. Nothing is bubbly or happy, its all about there life's and I'm really not interested when I and all of us have are own problems. I just want to be happy, and its sad that J-POP and rock is the only thing that does that. I blast this music in my car and get funny looks but I don't care =). What do you guys think? Am I crazy?

jpop and kpop are amazing thats why, You cant get a job at jpop/kpop unless you can sing and dance, I hate pop, but they are amazing.
You see the complex amazing dance moves they do in the videos, then realise they have to do it live, not just that, when they go on day time tv shows they will have to often dance to songs they dont know and if another girl/guy band is on the show at the same time they will be expected to dance off etc. Not only that, they will often be expected to sing in korean/japanese and english.
I dunno how they do it, they must eat, sleep, breath, and dream dancing and singing.
Who do we get? a short guy who cant sing, cant dance, and has to wear heels inside his shoes, patethic.
But thats the real difference, over there they have talent so they can put on a show, over here there is no talent so they try strike a chord with the people which often revolves around moaning about some guy/girl that dumped them.

I think you're forgetting Hardstyle has a lot of sex, drugs, and the party lifestyle in it
Not really when your very picky and you only pick Hardstyle with out lyrics. Silver Nikan - Rockstar Baby, Hardstyle that is not about any of the charted down. I only really like the Happy Hardstyle stuff anyway... But Headhunterz is soooooooo hot!
