There are some great groups here in U.S. and i like very few J Bands .But mainly prefer metal from different countries over jrock or here.

I think you're talking about hard rock? Or metal? Because alternative rock is quite pleasing.

Is it just me or J-Rockers care a bit too much of their looks? Compared to Western Rockers.

Old J-rock looks and sounds amazing. Hard to say for most new J-rock though.

i feel like western rock is dyin a bit not in popularity but the message (like ppl give a crap about msg, right?) but i like old western rock..
but i do love the jrockers and their songs and style

I dont really think this is the most fair place to ask this questions because obviously the answer is going to be mostly for jrock. But most of these people are really being honest with themselves, they are most likely just following blingly becasuse they worship all that is Japanese. Dont get me wrong i love tons about japan and even love the music. so im not saying jrock is horrible, or that in fact many people hate western rock and like jrock more. Im just saying that here, in this forum anything and everything Japanese is worshiped. And i will say that i cant really stand most of the visual kei stuff, some is pretty good but most only marginally ok. Gazette is good. not a huge Gackt fan either.

It's clearly stated this poll is for JapanForum and JF members and about THEIR opinion. When you make a survey and see the results you always check the enviroment the survey was taken at.

I was surprised Rock was winning at the start, my eyeballs were coming out like 'wtf, they like japan and not japanese music"... but later I found out the forum is how it should be.

Rock still has a big percentage here and it tells that JF members aren't totally obsessed only with Japan music but with something else... that tells how people here aren't actually with Japan Fever, they only like Japan because they found something interesting about it.
