K-Pop sucks.

Japanese Rock is actually pretty good though. "Arche" and "UROBOROS" and "Dum Spiro Spero" by DIR EN GREY are some pretty damn good albums. Hell, even some of their older stuff from back when they were still a "Visual Kei" gothic shock rock band is pretty good ("Gauze" & "Kisou" & "Vulgar").

I think I just dislike K-Pop simply for the fact that it is POP... Most of those bands are essentially Korean clones of the Backstreet Boys, or N-Sync, or 98 Degrees (which themselves were all just copying off New Kids On The Block).

Sabbat and Boris are some of my favorite bands.

I’ve worked half a dozen KPOP shows this year.

The fans are utter trash.

The music is corporate cash grab garbage water.

I’m retiring in six weeks.

I’ll never #EVER work a KPOP show as long as I live

Shinobi VS Dragon Ninja is a song by Lost Prophets, it features drop tune bass, DJ scratching, and a really quick tempo.

Basically it's a Nu Metal style song.

It's certainly better than "Rooftops" and all the other Emo crap they put out later. But Shinobi (and the album Fake Sound Of Progress) was made before the switch to Emo. I remember grabbing the song off the old "MP3 dot Com" website, back when Lost Prophets were very much still underground.

Their old sound was more comparable to something like a Dredg, or a Deftones, or an Incubus. But what they turned into later with the Emo boom was just "meh."

Would you agree that "Fake Sound of Progress" was their one good album, and all the Mainstream Emo Sellout stuff was whack? They could have been a great Nu Metal band if they hadn't made the switch to Emo.

Pretty much. "Rooftops" was the beginning of the end.
