What does everyone listen to?

That reminds me - dubstep has taken a hold of me recently, artists like Excision, Funtcase and Datsik are great to listen to completely sober.
 
Hehe, the italics was for sarcasm - dubstep itself is pretty horrible, but under any form of intoxication its pretty awesome.
 
To be honest, I actually like when things end whilst they're ahead. TV series, bands, anything. It shows me that they're in it to create good things and not just the money.

I listen to everything that isn't post-90s mainstream, but my more prominent genres of music listening are: 80s J-Pop, 80s New Wave/Synth-Pop, Downtempo, Drum n' Bass, Thrash Metal, Video Game Music, and Ambient.

I kinda like today's upbeat J-Pop... or should I say J-Rock. Anyway the guys without flashy flamboyant clothes who look like girls. Something like Porno Graffiti or Flow

Well, I'm an 80s fanatic so I'm biased, but yeah there's some great J-Pop/J-Rock artists from the 90s and there's a good chunk out there now like you mentioned Porno Graffiti, Boom Boom Satellites, Siam Shade, TM Revolution, etc.

Yeah, I'm not really for the visual kei onslaught going around in Japan, gets rather boring when they all look and sound the same as each other.

what i wanna know is why in gods name did rihanna or eminem or whoever get famous and rich off of a single when this girl wrote the song? i swear after watching this i just feel like there's no reason why sampling should be legal. first off the way the song was changed was the opposite of an improvement, and secondly how is it different from theft?

if you don't like the song, that's fine. power to you. personally, i think it's great. question still stands.

A lot of times, the Artist getting the Sample of the original song HAS TO PAY the original artist in-order to use it.

A lot of times, it helps the artist (usually the artist isn't that popular), and it gives them more fame because of it (look at Dido when Eminem Sampled when he made "Stan").

Plus, if the original artist isn't making a lot of money, they get a revenue for the samples.

i get that and all, but i still don't think it's justified. it may satisfy both artists in terms of revenue, but i don't like what it does to the music that the industry ends up producing.
