RE: Are We Geeks? - NiX - 05-25-2010
Gangsta rap and Jpop are mainstream. Just depends on your demographic.
RE: Are We Geeks? - Evil Panda - 05-25-2010
Well, it's not the kind of stuff my comrades prefer, anyway. It's all Lady GAGa and Taylor Swift for them. @_@
RE: Are We Geeks? - NiX - 05-25-2010
Lady Gaga is cool.
RE: Are We Geeks? - Mjting - 05-25-2010
nice one nix.
RE: Are We Geeks? - NiX - 05-25-2010
And for the record, Taylor Swift writes nice songs. Not my kind of music but I can definitely appreciate the youthful writing.

I find Lady Gaga really cool and talented. No joke.

She is, no doubt.
It's just that there's been a running gag about it among me, Mark and Jake.

I like Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift too
Also been following jpop for more than 10 years now. Started with visual kei when X-Japan and Luna Sea were still around. Right now I'm into Japanese indie pop, reggae and r&b. I also listen to classical (right now into impressionists like Debussy and Ravel) and jazz (always been into bebop) a lot.
Maybe I'm a music nerd, but the only genre I can't really stand is Western gangsta rap, because it sounds so contrived to fit a certain aesthetic. Rap from any other continent is fine. With music, it's really always down to personal taste.
Edit: Actually, there are a few exceptions. I like Eminem's stuff. In the 90's one of my favorite songs was I'll Be Missing You by P.Diddy Feat Faith Hill. I also liked BIG's stuff.
RE: Are We Geeks? - Evil Panda - 05-25-2010
I'll Be Missing You was by P. Diddy and Faith Evans.
Just correcting you there.Well... What I meant by giving those artists as examples was that I'm not one to follow the crowd. Where most of my peers love this and that singer, I'm into stuff by Tupac and co. Lol.

Thanks! It's been so long since HS
Faith Hill is the country singer. Must have slipped my mind while thinking of Taylor Swift's stuff at the same time.

I like taylor swift's songs too.

Hahah I like that. I really do.

Not super related, but I think this is where it's most appropriate:

Be careful about what you turn into, RR.
