^Exactly! >_< That's exactly the reaction I get. "You don't speak it fluently, do you?" Me: >.> "Well why are you listening to it?!" And stuff like that. And because I'm an American girl, sixteen years old who should be into Lady GaGa and Britney Spears like other normal high school girls. Psh. As if. I like them, but I like other things too. Like... I don't know how many times I've been asked "Do you understand the lyrics?". Yes, I can if I read translations enough times.... but is it that bad? I've known some people who listen to French music just cuz they think it's sexy.... So I'm bad for listening to J-Pop?

Meh. Ignorance, as you say. >_< And yeah, though I may not care too much what they have to say and bash about, there are just some songs I don't think I should let my anti-foreign-music friends hear. Only sometimes do people think it's cool of me to listen to Japanese music, but they're usually adults. And cultured. (definitely not my parents though.)

Anyhow... I think it all boils down to not being embarrassed to love them.... but embarrassed to admit to loving them in front of friends, or.... listening to them in public. I would stand up for these crazy songs I love in a heartbeat... but only after my face would stop blushing.

Whew that was a long rant-post. >o<
