I'm viet too, but viet music is....eh. Not for me, all I can say.
I listen to rock and j-rock.
Sure I don't understand most of j-rock, but hopefully taking japanese class helps a bit.
Doesn't matter what people say about what you listen to really, as long as you yourself come to the conclusion that you like what you are listening to.
I can't connect with viet music at all.

I totally understand. The Viet music seems like it's only targeted to adults. When I was in Vietnam when I was like 10 the teens all listened to US music. I got one Viet song on my iPod but like 9 songs by Big Bang and one by SNSD. I got J-Rock/Pop on there too. The funny thing is that I'm Chinese-American. My parents are both from Vietnam but their grandparents are from China.

thankss. haha. That's so true. My parents listen to french songs and the only word they know is probably love and maybe hello.  

[~Tonberry-chocobo~]

haha. Im with both. I listen to bands like My chem, Panic at the Disco, and fall out boy. but like. I still listen to j-rock like Dir en grey, alice nine, an cafe, and gazettE. [and J-pop too. and K-pop XD] but yea. I don't understand a word most of the time, but I still sing along with it. as long as you like it. I don't think language matters. especially when as seen as a barrier for music ^^  

[ashleylau0204]

I like most asian music, although I prefer japanese and cantonese. Japanese because I like the melodies and contonese because I actually understand the lyrics.  

[Sesshomaruka]

i'm also with both, i listen to alternative, some scremo, then from there i went to manderin/jpop, then jrock, then kpop. Haha weird i went from scremo to manderin/j-pop. Even though i dont really know the words i still listen/sing along to it. I'm fiipino, but i think tagalog music is horrible. . .xD

Asian music makes up like 9/10th of my music library but the other 1/10th is American  

[XvXYuNiEXvX]

My playlist is like 80% asian related and the other 20% isn't asian. It's a variety. My main is BIG BANG!! Friggin' love them. Well I listen to K-pop, C-pop, J-pop, a lil J-rock, punk rock, rnb, rap, techno, or whatever. As long as its good than I'm good and I don't care what people say! x]  

[saku_chan187]

i really dont listen much to asian music. maybe except for big bang...and maybe super junior in korea. lol. and philipino songs cuz i understand it. but mostly i just listen to rnb/hip hop sometimes rap songs. little bit of rock and al l that but usually dont.  

[the r e v e r i e]

Viet music is boring. Dx
The only singer I like is Minh Tuyet.
I'm Vietnamese as well, and I listen to Japanese and Korean music even
though I don't really understand. But I usually look of the translations for
alice nine. and stuff. I also listen to a lot of rock/alternative music.
