I am not even cynical, I am serious, because all those algorithms keep degenerating art in any kind, it even doesn't matter if it's music or a Youtube video or something else, you must do what the god (the algorithm of the company) wants and not what is coming out of your heart in western countries. (There are only a few exceptions)

But is it really like this in Japan? Aren't there huge companies with their algorithms controlling how music have to be structured and how it has to sound to fit for the masses? Can you post a link to your favorite songs? I am curious how they sound...
To be fair I doubt such algorithm exists in the first place but what do I know? Services like Spotify and Apple Music are just as commonly used there as in the western worlds yet they still have catJAM like this:



(I do not like embedding YouTube links but for the sake of attempted argument I will do it here MikeBruh)

On another note, the "J-Core" I was talking about is short for Japanese Hardcore which has a very different vibe from western ones. Bandcamp had an introduction article on the genre in question with some samples you can have a listen to. It is hard for me to pick one of my favourite since my artist-I-listen-to list basically look like this pepeLaugh
