Why do people feel they need to announce they love Japanese pop and Korean pop...?

"Gotta love the fans of this who bash American pop." I know that was sarcasm, but you have to understand part of why that happens. A lot of people who do this, do this because they live in the United States of America where American pop is shoved down their throats by every corporate and advertising outlet on a daily basis. Also, Jpop tends to offer them a slightly different style of pop than what they are sick of being forced to listen to out and about in their local towns or cities. Also, American pop and any pop under the RIAA pretty much dominate the entire world media, that's way too much exposure than is particularly healthy. While Jpop is a bit on the underloved side. Really, any pop that isn't in English is on the underloved side. People can call people who like Jpop better than American pop weeaboos or whatever other term all they like, but the frustration in wanting something different because you're constantly shoved the same down your throat is understandable.

Ehhh, Japanese pop is technically different from American pop. But is it different enough? Not really... *stares at 倖田來未, BoA, and 安室奈美恵*

I just like J-pop because pop lyrics are usually awful and if they're in Japanese I don't have to hear them.[2]
