One thing that depresses me the most about Japanese culture is that the country has some amazing musicians with some very unique and creative styles, but all the media and most of the population cares about is J-Pop and K-Pop, which are, let's admit it, some of the shittiest music I have heard in my life.
And it greatly saddens me when that's all kids here know because that's all most of them get to hear in their lives.
Actually, when one of my students tells me that they listen to another genre of music, I can't help it, but suddenly, my interest is this student is piqued, because I know they're going to be interesting. (It doesn't mean they're a better student, just that they will have an interesting personality, and it's almost always the case.)
