I know vaush posting is :haram: but holy shit watching a grown man go through his /mu/core phase like 12 years late is activating my fight or flight response.

    Whenever I see these lists of "essential music" or greatest songs ever or whatever, I find it funny that there's never any mention that its all in English and that they never considered any songs from other languages.

        I agree, especially pre-internet. But for a place like 4chan where a large portion of their user base watch anime, they’ve been exposed to non English music yet still will be dismissive of it when they make these lists. There’s also plenty of non English musicians that make the charts in the USA now, like bts. I am not really sure I have a point here, just an observation

          true, i was mostly speaking from my own experience with non-english music. Most non-english music i've been exposed to has been like japanese and it's usually in genres im not fond of lmao. don't really pay attention to charts either, i mostly find new artists from ones that i like exposing me to them on twitter n shit and digging through genres i like on bandcamp so i really don't get too much exposure to non-english stuff unless i stumble on it.
