01.18.21 | what is city pop. how you pull this niche shit out of nowhere so casually damn. |
JohnnyoftheWell
01.18.21 | city pop is like Japan's ver of sophistipop, only it was a more dominant mainstream force. it varies. the basslines are godly, the melodies are rich |

someone
01.18.21 | it's like a period of Japanese pop music that is barely defined by one specific trait. it's some rock, some synthpop, blues and jazz and electronic music, but it's all pop-oriented. pretty much, Japan wanted to do their own version of what was dominating the world at the time (disco, synthpop, soft rock, blues and such), but like always did it in their own unique way |
someone
01.18.21 | oh no, parks, please don't. think of the children |
