1) ok, you got me, they're different stylesmeshy said:Yeh pretty true - korean music is pretty good, and Japanese music is ok, but apart from that..
I noticed Baby VOX (Korean girl group) has managed to break into the US market recently..
Err what's your point? They're totally different styles.
So what if america was the birthplace of jazz? That's pretty irrelevant and doesn't give any indication whatsoever what music is like in the US at the moment..
Actually, if he was Korean or Japanese I don't think everyone would have insulted/laughed so much. Remember Koreans and Japanese are considered differently to Chinese in the USA..
but if you actually do compare the top 40 in korea and top 40 in the us, or australia, you'll find that they're pretty much the same, they both have really bad pop, some good stuff, some rnb and good rock.
2) i was using jazz as an example of the variety found in american music, but jazz does have alot of influence on the charts, like norah jones, some kelly clarkson stuff and if you read interviews of women singers who are popular over there, they'll say they were influenced by ella fitzgerald or some other famous jazz singer.
my point is that whoever said korean music is far superior than american music, or any type of music, has no basis to state that.
so how come koreans and japanese people are treated differently to chinese people in usa? are they more discriminated? or less?
