Crap taste in music?
Asians are very hard to find in north american popular music. By "popular music", I mean "pop", "rock"and "rap". And there are no stars I can think of. Why is that?

Crap taste in music?
The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland
What about the dude from Hoobastank?

or Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park, he's part asian right?

what about that guy who sang She Bang?
he was pretty good.
J-pop and it's ilk.

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned
I think the brothers in the speed metal band Death Angel are filipino. But that's all I can think of.
Then there's Loudness. A heavy metal band from Japan. They sucked and had no commercial success in the U.S.
Death Angel had some cool songs. I recommend them. Their drummer was only 14 when their first album was released.
edit: turns out they weren't asian americans

I've heard "asian" music, I accidently spilled a drawer of silverware into the sink and on a hard tile floor.
Here are some picks for you.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
The Boredoms
Sheila Chandra
Fun-da-Mental
Cornershop
Bally Sagoo
Melt-Banana
They're all great.

edit: I'll take these down, as I don't think they were actually asian americans.

hmm, turns out I may be wrong.
one website says they are hispanic. I could have swore I heard they were philipino. I may have to verify this.
technically they are americans as they come from the bay area metal scene.
In the UK asians seem to be producers/remixers more than artists (the stuff I listen to anyhow)

Sorry Ix, but I was being faceious. HHPAY is a dreadful cartoon.

One possible reason: since we don't take them seriously, they don't make it. Could you listen to a japanese gangsta rapper rapping about *****es and hoes without smiling?
Another: they tend to make music in their native language.

cibo matto, whose lead singer I met at a Huddle House in Oxford, MS with her then boyfriend Sean Lennon.
I saw a wacky band fronted by a Japanese (I think) female called Deer Hooves (or something like that). Straight rock, more or less, with japanese lyrics and screaming ****.

Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

They're all in Asia, making Asian pop music.
And if you've ever heard Asian pop music, you know how thankful you should be that they're far, far away.

I'm aware of that. I was thinking of mainstream north american popular music. There are plenty of white people, black people and latinos, but no asians.Oh its there, its definately there. Just be very very happy that it doesn't get exported to the states.
