The irony for me is that many people who would refuse to listen to music from other countries because they "can't understand the words" don't even know or understand the words for songs they like in their own language.

Like all those dumbfucks that got upset when they discovered RATM is political.

French rap/hip-hop is surprisingly good.

I commend people who can genuinely like music they don't understand the words to. Lyrics are such an important part of my enjoying of music because it evokes much more emotion than just the melody. So as someone who grew up speaking Japanese and English, US, UK, CA, JA songs are my favourites. I can't enjoy French or German songs because I only understand at a surface level. I do enjoy orchestral music if it's attached to some experience I've had like movies, anime, or videogame (I listen to the PSO: BB OST all the time because I spent thousands of hours playing that game in high school).

Mozart did not write English music.

I often listen to jrock (high and mighty color, one ok rock, back on, b'z), Chinese/Taiwan hits (五月天），afrobeats and amapiano , and songs from across Latin America and Europe. Seems insane to me to just stop at the border.

Best version of this is the album Back Tuva Future... Go check it out

There's some good Japanese punk rock. And not that it's a big reach for Americans, but Australia has some great hip hop.

Korean traditional music (gugak) is pretty fascinating, from their fairly well-preserved ancient pieces (in contrast to China), to their intense, almost free-jazz-like mystical shaman music, to a whole semi-classical chamber folk tradition called sanjo, which features a solo instrument improvising melodies to rhythms that gradually get faster, juxtaposed with a drummer who grunts now and then as a form of ad-lib, while the drumming itself is nothing like 4/4 or everything else simple that you mighy expect.

Many Koreans themselves are less interested in raw gugak, so some gugak musicians achieve commercial success by doing on the side fusion gugak, which employs pop and other Western elements, partly on the traditional instruments... A lot of it sounds really watered down compared to the real stuff.

Too late mfr, you’ve seen the K-pop demon hunters movie and you’re obsessed.

They need to listen to some Korpiklaani

Can I interest you in some J-Metalcore?

Maybe some Canton Rap?

Might I also interest you in the French Clair Obsur soundtrack that has no right to be as good as it is.
