Understanding city pop
| >>837957 over that i'm enjoying listening city pop, i'm bad in music theory and i can't explain difference between jazz to heavy metal.
but there exists wiki about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_pop but i have no idea how accurate informations are there or not.. but if you will find anything interesting about it i will be happy to read it ^^
| the info on Wikipedia is accurate. There is a citypop subreddit, if you can stand going on reddit
| Ohh I think I've listened to some of it!
Are "Plastic Love", "Flyday Chinatown" good examples of City Pop?

| I'm this close to figuring it out. I think it:
- Originated in mid/late 80s and existed through the 90s
- Not considered a special genre at the time and simply marketed as Pop
- Heavy use of electronic drum and keyboard, sometimes with funky bass
- Japan or Asia comes to mind, but there are Western samples
