Asian music VS. Western music (in terms of creativity)

[XFER]

Creativity? Western with no doubt.

I don't know very much about some underground japanese music (if there is any) but all I have heard is pretty much firmly rooted in pop, rock and urban. With few experimental and harder rocking music. I haven't come across many (if any) trip-hop asian artists for example, or freak folk from Asia? those things are not there, and inversally, the styles used in Asian markets, ARE in the western ussed in more or less quantity.
