Well, there are some genres that I avoid completly (like visual-kei) but most of the time, when I try to rule out a specific artist I end up regretting it

not trying to say that you're wrong or anything
Oh I used to do that too, my Jpop had so much diversity and great artists already and I thought it's totally satisfying, then I discovered SHINee and Girls' Generation

I've been more open to kpop idols since then, a lot of them are very talented, but the songs they're given to promote don't show that at all =( (except Miss A, zero auto-tune in their title songs <3) .. I really regret not discovering them before.
For me now, I avoid Jpop idol groups, Kpop idols made them look bad in my eyes (excpet NEWS, and I try squeeze some Arashi in my iPod) and Kpop solo artists since most of them release something once every 2 years, and I'm spoiled by Ayu and other Jpop solo acts who release singles regulary
I might (again) regret some decisions later, but I'm comfortable with the way my music library looks now
