As a general rule, Japanese music is slightly superior.

Japan doesn't really have a some special era where they beat everyone else in a given genre, like for example Americans and British people simply were the best in the '70s at rock, but Japan just consistently has above average good music across the board.

Japanese rock is better than European rock (discounting the UK of course).

I mean this in the nicest way: the Japanese are wonderful and prolific thieves. They can take the technicalities of a foreign style of music, food, alcohol etc production and refine them with unparalleled discipline and extreme attention to detail. But I ask you, where's the soul? Where's the joy in something that's way too perfect?

They suck at making jazz and they have no notable classical composers. Rockist/poptimist post

depends on the genre
>anime, vidya, modern mainstream rock and pop
yeah, japan gets the edge
>metal, classical, jazz, bluegrass, etc.
not much difference aside from subtle differences that are subjective or some out of the blue gimmick that most people don't care casually much about

The bands that are involved in making anime OP/ED are all pretty good usually & often technical. You see far, far more guitar based music in anime than the top 100 charts, percentage wise.

japanese jazz peaked with toshiko akiyoshi's prog big band stuff. all the jap slop that gets shilled here is all derivative funk-fusion shit. usa, canada, denmark, england, brazil and france are all a million times better these days
