Have you been hit by the wave of K-Pop yet?
Before my fascination with the new Korean girl-group 2NE1, the first Korean artist I've listened to (even upto now) are Kiss and Utada Hikaru. I still remember her song Automatic and of course her other famous song First love.
But then, still before that I used to watch MTV Pilipinas. During the time when Francis M and Donita Rose were known as MTV VJ's. I always see to it to watch every award show there is and one of them is MTV Asia Awards.

So in watching those, (ayun) I got introduced to other countries music. To name a few: Peter Pan, Boa, G.O.D., Stefanie Sun, Tata Young, Siti Nurhaliza etc etc.
Medyo weird watching it at first kasi ang pinapanuod na performance di maintindihan ang kinakanta. Merong baduy ang tunog pero meron din naman na okay ang timpla.
Now, naglipana na sa radio stations ang mga Korean songs. This time marami na di katulad ng dati na pailan-ilan lang. My family mocks me badly for having weird lists of music (kasi halos lahat pinapakinggan ko, kahit galing Norway or mapa-Trip-hop, or Baroque Pop, or Post-rock.) Tapos since lately I've been listening to 2NE1 that much, inaasar tuloy ako kung naiintindihan ko daw ba ung lyrics. Anu ba naman daw un?
So I was like, music parin naman 'to ah. Parang its a shift, imagine if American ako listening to OPM songs of Urbandub, Silent Sanctuary and Paramita. Do you get my analogy?
Music has a lot of different kinds, different variations, specific fashion statements and certain definitions. Kahit ano pa yan, kahit tunog ewan yan, na kung saang tambol galing.. music pa rin un. Basta may melody, and structure. Music.
Don't let language be a barrier or a discriminating factor for it to be labeled as Music.
Disclaimer: One example Daughtry ang genre nya is Alternative. Other terms known for it will be AlternoRock or Alternative Rock. Kapag napasyal ka naman sa UK, Britpop naman ang tawag na term dun. :D
Kaya may na ba-bash, Dissed at naa-abuse na mga EMO posers. Like I said sa Music meron fashion specific un. And it goes thru the history books kaya ganun dapat i-value un. At di gawing excuse dahil its because of the effin' trend. ~jk's 2cents
