if your parents get on you about j-rock, just show them the message for parents of children of j-rock on youtube. That's what I did. My mom thought it was funny. Of course, my parents don't really care what I listen to as long as it isn't bugging them, and I'm not like one of those j-rock kids with pics all over the walls (although a bou poster would be nice..), so YMMV.
I've never really had people make fun of me for listening to j-music, and I definitely haven't had any racist comments. A few people asked my why I listen to it if I can't understand it, but if I just tell them that it doesn't really matter to me what the lyrics are as long as the music sounds good, they usually understand. Of course, I listen to more genres of music than anyone else I know, so I guess people might just get used to me liking "weird" music.
