I will probably not be recommending any post-Counterculture-era
music.
"Electronic Dance Music."
I'm not really a fan of this genre myself, but do you know D&D?

They were also in the compilation that I mentioned here:

They often shared ad space with Chinen back in those days.
Example:

I like this approach (as opposed to everyone doing their own
ads) as it generates an atmosphere of solidarity between
artists.

D&D, though where that sexist Eurocentrist Nakata got its
influence for Perfume's "Techno-pop" concept, sounded much
different from Perfume. D&D has more emotion and simplicity in
their music, and not to mention it's much neater and higher
quality than Perfume's music.
There's a practice in Western classical music that has revived
in the EDM scene (which probably came from Aristotelean
philosophy). Tension and release. Where it is the duty of a
viewer to judge art for what it demonstrates, tension and
release (also known as the build and drop in EDM culture) is an
auditory illustration that makes it difficult to judge the
demonstration, which lies the artist's intent to manipulate our
reactions (Jewish tendency). On the other hand, I'd prefer it if
it was done to demonstrate a song's value or to narrate a play
or movie (which most of the time, it doesn't).
D&D, despite their music's genre being EDM, had less tension and
release, which makes it easier to judge the emotion in their
music.
"I like this approach (as opposed to everyone doing their own
ads) as [sharing ad space] generates an atmosphere of solidarity
between artists."
Not to mention it requires less work to put up. Living with
roommates demonstrate the same purpose since it builds an
alliance between the people living while requiring less work to
live in (which both practices suit well for:

).

It is probably a good thing that D&D ended before the
Counterculture era ended. Had it tried to continue, it might
have been pressured to adapt to subsequent trends. As it is, at
least we can remember it as an untainted phenomenon marking the
last few years before the collapse.

"Living with roommates"
I don't think this is a good comparison. Serious artists
typically need a lot of privacy. Arranging for them to live
together would lead to all kinds of extra trouble. Indeed this
is why they need managers/agents/PAs/etc. to keep them from
having to interact with the outside world more than is
necessary.

Then the quality of their music stood out.
"I don't think this is a good comparison. Serious artists

I see. It does seem less stressful for an artist/viewer to be
alone, that way they can only deal with the art. As for me when
I have space and listen to music or enjoy art, I do have a vivid
imagination, and when I sense something that does not fit in
with my music and imagination, I feel quite disturbed.
Maybe people destined to be artists probably shouldn't have
roommates, that way their spiritual quality improves at their
pace.

I actually would have preferred Lufkin to have never got
involved (though with Komuro being her boss she didn't really
have a choice) with 1998 FIFA World Cup music:
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLKBqhEp_uM
which tried to be epic (in particular, to cater to Western
audiences) and ended up being a pretentious embarassment,
comparing especially unfavourably with:
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J__OgqG1CXs
which set out to make fun of the whole event (catering purely to
local audiences) and ended up becoming a festive classic. This
goes back to what I was saying about how catering to Western
audiences never ends well (but laughing at them - note the MV's
inclusion of deliberately excessive quantities of Western
architecture, but shot in humour, to say nothing of opening the
arrangement with the French national anthem - can work
wonders!).

I saw in this recent post:
HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/issues/refugees-welcome/msg20151/#msg20151
after you quoted the good news that happened for refugees in New
York (which I'm happy about), you put a post-Counterculture song
to celebrate. Why is that? I just thought you wouldn't recommend
post-Counterculture era music.
I understand that there has been no high points or respectable
works in any field since 9/11, but from this past era, what
post-Counterculture music do you (or did you) have hope for?

I meant inside this topic I wouldn't be recommending
post-Counterculture-era music. Elsewhere I post whatever suits
the occasion.
Back here, I am ready to post more Counterculture-era music. I
am just waiting for the discussion to continue so I can post
along with it! Without an ongoing discussion, it is harder to
decide what to post. More duets? More song dramas? Or should I
just post whatever I myself am listening to in private at the
moment of posting?

"I meant inside this topic"
Thanks for making it clear.
"Elsewhere I post whatever suits the occasion."
So if an individual from Tokyo does something noble, even a song
that is complex, like 「TOKYO GIRL」 by Perfume,
could do for other topics?
"should I just post whatever I myself am listening to in private
at the moment of posting?"
I made this topic for any music recommendation, whether it is
songs, pieces, or even OSTs from games, films, TV shows or
theatre. As long as it's music, this is the place for it. I also
made for people to have a better understanding of music in
general.
But if you would like to tell me, what have you listened to at
the moment?
"I am ready to post more Counterculture-era music"
How would you contrast modern South Korean music with
Counterculture examples? Would artists like Seo Taiji and SM
Entertainment's 90s artists (e.g. H.O.T, S.E.S.) be the
examples. If not, would the examples be Trot or something else?

"what have you listened to at the moment?"
I just posted it above!

But that was while writing that post. Now at the moment of
writing this post, I am listening to:

Something I read on the Wikipedia for Sukeban Deka actor Yoko
Minamino is that she was considered as one of the shitennou
(others in bold):
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoko_Minamino#History
[quote]Along with Shizuka Kudo, Miho Nakayama, and Yui Asaka,
Minamino was considered one of the Four Divas
(四天王, Shitennō) of the time until she
temporarily suspended her career in 1992.[/quote]
I know you would listen to Minamino and Kudo, but would the
quote mean you would listen to Nakayama and Asaka?
Speaking of J-pop, what artists would you recommend from the
compilation mentioned here:
