This troper, sadly enough, ''
is very literally pained'' by virtually all "mass-market" Western pop music, especially R&B, purely because he thinks such music royally sucks. The pain is more of the
psychological and possibly even metaphysical pain along the inside of the head and the ears,
as well as a slight hint of the feeling usually associated with dodgy food rather than actually a literal migraine, though. This (possibly) weird wiring in his brain has made sure virtually all his music choices are usually
some class of metal, but he can also listen to such music as that of
Björk but, for some mysterious reason, he can also listen to {{J-Pop}} such as {{AyumiHamasaki}}, {{Gackt}} and the like without any discomfort or cause for complaint whatsoever (this in spite of
being from Australia and,
being a fourth-generation Caucasian Australian of a rather hashed-up mix of possibly Bavarian from his dad's side,
''Welsh'',
Scotland,
the Prussians - via his mother's side,
England itself (which this troper's mother considers DisContinuity for an odd reason,
despite her directly being of that heritage herself,
and thus having no Japanese blood in his genetics whatsoever - although one particular person he met
originally raised in and possibly born in Israel - more of a NewAgeRetroHippie than a BadassIsraeli though, and is his ''unofficial spiritual advisor'' - did possibly hint at his eyes being a bit almond-shaped from her view of my appearance, possibly delineating an AsianBabyMama somewhere in the pile, but more likely not - maybe there was a
Japanese type somewhere there after all, ironically enough considering his grandfather's
spot of bother with them - but that's highly dubious). And yet if he hears any Western pop/R&B/rap stuff like OwlCity, BeyonceKnowles, or somesuch, or any kind of
hip-hop/urban stuff, he is screaming for the
metaphorical ear-and-cerebral-matter cleaning product...
