I'd like to see a stat that says more teenagers listen to J-Pop over pop. That MIGHT be the case here on gamespot OT but in real life I'd assume (American) teenagers are 100 times more likely to listen to "regular" American pop music. Same for a lot of the other things you mentioned.

They think things like cell phones, Facebook, computers, the internet, are all rights.

They're too self-entitled.

My sentiment as well. I barely know any teenagers in real life who would openly admit they like J-POP over Pop.

I thought that was only on OT, never really noticed it offline. Teens here usually get into whatever is popular here at the time. The more internetish teenagers are into Japan stuff.

whats wrong with that? I Assume this is not a serious thread. and I thought this thread was going to be about how nowadays teenagers love to get drunk, doing stupid things, having jersey shore guys as their role models, and just being stupid overall, which is the real problem with today's teens

This.

I lived in Japan as a kid for three years (my Pops was stationed there) and never really got into the anime or other types of comics they had and J Pop didn't exist. I can't figure out why so many on thjis forum are so into any of that either though I have always enjoyed the beauty of Japanese women.

It's that darn rap music and them iProds or whatever they's called. Back in my day we used to cut the grass with dental floss and if we complained we were mutilated by our neighbors while our parents watched, nodding.

It's mainly a phase for some people anyway. Will I still like this stuff when I am 40? Maybe, maybe not. It's like how some teens branch out of the pop music industry and go to rock/metal/etc. Will they like it when they turn a certain age? Who knows. Only a few keep what they liked when they were younger.

i dont repeat dont like any of those stuff. i love to watch action movies and TV shows like how i met your mother and burn notice, listen to LP, green day and eminem, and love to play action-adventure games like POp, assassins creed, prototype, DMC, batman etc. and shooters like crysis, COD, max payne etc. and love to read archies, marvel and dc comics. maybe you are looking at only handful of them who read manga and watch anime and create all the noise about naruto and pokemon. even if it were just let it be and this trend may fade away someday

Teenagers have apparently moved to anime from American cartoons, which sounds good on paper. At least now producers might put a little effort in their shows/comics to recapture their audience back.

The problem is that American Cartoons suck now. Adventure Times? It looks horrible. They're are barely any cartoons on Disney Channel.

Being just out of my teenage years, 20, I have to ask a few things. Why would teenagers be watching Disney? Why would anyone watch Disney anymore? Anime can be for kid or adults and cover all genres and in some cases is beautifully animated, how does the Disney Channel compare to that? Who is listening to J Pop? I never see anyone doing that, maybe some on this forum but I don't think we are the majority. I don't really like music Translated Action Fictions over childrens books, I have no idea what that even means and, much like Disney, why should teenagers be reading childrens books? I don't know many people that prefer JRPGs over western anymore. I'm pretty much only attracted to Middle Eastern or Japanese women, why would I have only an attraction to Blondes from living in America? I guess I might have liked to be an exchange student in Japan if I spoke the language. It sucks here, might as well see all the ways it is better and worse there, and build up my Japanese and retro game collections while over there.

I didnotnotice this, probably because I do not hang around teenagers. Also this is the first time I've heard of J-Pop and I did not realize it's an epidemic. Does it matter? Do you think I still listen to theawful crap I listened to when I was a teenager. Sure it sounded good when I was a teenager but that was only because my brain was teenaged.

Teenagers are losers regardless of what generation they come from. They've been in the past, in the present, and likely in the future.

rofl, I'm afraid Japan just puts out better quality entertainment. Its not my fault many of the western made comics and shows are so boring.

Generally, if any teenager likes video games, he likes Japanese stuff.

The problem is all what you are saying is wrong. Comics sell more than manga. Western cartoons sell more than anime and are more popular. WRPGs are better received and more popular than JRPGs and just lol at j-pop being more popular than western music.

Stop basing all of this on one forum that doesn't even represent 1% of teenagers.

Of the teenagers I know, myself included, almost none of that is true. Disney and comic books are just not very popular among most teenagers i know. Some find certain Japanese women more attractive than American, but it is not purely out of dislike of american culture as you say.

Classic rock music that seems to be so cool nowadays has probably been ridiculed when it just started to become popular among the young crowd of the previous generations.

Are you being serious? (Not a rhetorical question)

Most "pop" music sucks these days anyway, I could dig deeper to find some good stuff but everything thats popular with teens sucks, most mainstream artists don't even write there own songs, but I respect the ones that do. Theres nothing wrong with manga, but Anime over Disney channel? Really? I think thats a GOOD thing. And the rest is just subjective.

The real problems with teens are -

Music

Whats deemed as "cool" nowadays

Thinking COD is the only game that exists

Constantly being on facebook (Nobody wants to know if you just got off the bus goddammit!)

Oh, and im a teen myself.

EDIT: theres other teens on OT? :O

Well it's America's fault... Lets look at the shows I watched as a kid on American TV in English... Power Rangers, Dragon Ball Z, MetaBots, Zoids, Yugioh, Pokemon, Digimon etc... I had no idea this stuff was Japanese... Then toonami came on full of anime... Voltron, G-Force, Robotech, Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo!, Big O, Outlaw star, Gundam 08th MS Team, Yu yu hakusho etc... To me this stuff was just cartoons... Then adult swim came on full of anime... I was getting older around this time and I had a computer... I got so into Full Metal Alchemist that I went on the internet to see if I could find any episodes on limewire... I found them all in Japanese... I saw the uncut action and then decided to do some research... Turned out my entire childhood was shrouded in Japanese culture... My TV, Video Games, Toys... All Japanese... It's not a preference I created... It was decided for me...
