J-Pop
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
J-Poop is shit music from Japan characterized by dance beats, synthesizers and impossibly upbeat vocals sung by 16 year old girls or fags. Lyrics are usually about animu and tentacle rape with nationalist propaganda almost always present subliminally. J-Pop is easily recognized by its rabid overuse of ganked electronic samples from American and British pop music of the 1980s, although the level of production employed by most J-Pop "artists" makes their western counterparts seem like a lone, one-armed hillbilly with a banjo with three broken strings. In the case of Morning Musume, the hillbilly is quadriplegic and plays with his tongue. Arguments about production values aside, it sounds like a billion splinters of digital cockroach shell spraying into your ears that never ever relents.
In Japan, J-Pop is listened to only by brainless 10 to 14 year-old loli rapebait and their otaku stalkers. However, J-Pop is practically a religion to western Japanophiles who tend to idolize specific J-Pop singers such as Ayumi Hamasaki. J-Pop is often present in anime such as Naruto, as it is the only kind of music capable of adequately expressing these shows' level of gay other than nu-metal, which is where AMVs come in.
Although the exact origins of the genre are disputed, Leni Riefenstahl is often named as one of the earliest J-Pop choreographers:
Chronic listening to J-Pop is known to cause a neurological disorder that results in compulsive typing of "^_^" If someone you know exhibits this symptom, immediately chain them up in your basement or cellar and force them to listen to the Swans' 1983 classic Filth until the condition subsides. They'll thank you later.
