[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 1149865, member: 115"] I think there's an assumption in America that cartoons are inherently a youth-oriented art form. In Japan it's made for all ages, but since we don't really have adult animation here in the States, we make the association that Anime = Adult. And I think you hit spot on the reason Anime became so big - American animation just sucked for a long time. Actually, I can't stand Emo, so I couldn't really help you that much. :) The only reason I know about Emo at all is working at a college radio station. A quick search of the net should turn up a list of good bands... Emo isn't that big of a genre. It started as an underground offshoot of punk in Washington DC, and basically strives to convey intense emotions and angst. There's only a few standards for Emo... octave chords, drastic dynamic changes, muffled lyrics often. Haha, yeah. Which is ironic, since Japanese culture has just as many bad points as ours. And if they went to Japan, a lot of people wouldn't even want them there... ahh, xenophobic cultures. :) Perhaps expert was the wrong word for it though. Knowledgeable is probably a better one. I'm knowledgeable to a certain extent about classical music, but certainly no expert. Nonetheless, I would never dismiss other stuff altogether... even country :). I just have no patience for people who do that. [/QUOTE]
