Well plenty of people listen to foreign music without knowing the language/culture. I listen to a lot of Chinese pop, both Mandarin and Cantonese, and I can't understand 95% of what they're saying, yet I still find it enjoyable to listen to.
 
 
As for modern pop music, yeah I guess from that standpoint Gangnam Style is a decent choice. Pop isn't my forte, but Gangnam Style seems like a good choice given other popular music nowadays....

this, I listen to a lot of japanese rock without the need to understand the lyrics, I guess so I can focus on the feeling of the music more
 
BTW, for everybody to know, PSY's label is pretty well known to bring american pop music styles and cycle it through korea as if its theirs, the beat of Gangnam style is no different to modern american pop

teens tend to be dead set on their opinions and views, after hearing something they really like, they don't wanna explore other things that are too unfamiliar or percieved as uncool by the majority of peers, I doubt as a 13 year old, he could have been exposed to a variety of genres and cultures to figure out what really sounds good for his ears
 
maybe I am wrong about this for him but this is the case for almost all communities of genres I am into when seeing younger fans

Ok then.

Ah good 'ol J-rock. I have a few artists in my library as well (HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR, Stereopony, Malice Mizer, GACKT, etc.).
 
I would really like to buy this band's albums, but I live in the USA and I have no idea where to look

I don't like Psy, if you looked at my profile, you would've seen my music interests. My favorite bands are Radiohead, Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, James Blake, The XX, and Sufjan Stevens. Thanks, but I have explored, and found what I liked. If I was as you say, would I be on these forums with a Beyer DT880 and a O2/ODAC? 

you just proved my generalization of teenagers lol
 
I like Versailles, Galneryus, Mejibray, De La Soul, Anthem, AREA51, A Tribe Called Quest, The Gazette, SCANDAL, LuLu, Lareine, EPMD....as I will already know, you wont know these artists, listing the artist you like doesn't mean anything to me, its like you need to give me a reason to acknowledge you for your musical taste, truth is there really is no reason to, if the artists you list is what you like then that's cool

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh snap!

Whilst editing that, I was thinking, " What if somebody got to it before I edited it!" Sadly, somebody did. I reread the posts, realized that was never the topic, and changed it.
