which was the first dream pop album to vacate its place and why

Oricon Dream Pop has 211 tracks at any one time, but only 4 of them can either be real dream pop or worth talking about

In the beginning was the Cocteau Twins, and the Cocteau Twins were with Dream Pop, and the Cocteau Twins were Dream Pop.

"Baseline if u are still in orbit, I raise you that this is only true for Japanese dream pop because it goes for all dream pop - there have ever and can ever be up to 9 albums from this genre at any given one point, and we should treat it as a miracle that this band has been able to contribute any at all."

Sorry, but I have to (dis?)agree with you. If you're referring to classic, as in canonized dream pop albums, then yeah, it's a genre with a history of low quality releases, everywhere, a bit like Trip-Hop. However, in the US and UK the genre is getting far more consistently great releases than in Japan, and there are a shitton of dream pop albums all over the non-Anglosphere that, although not legendary, are very well baked soundwise.

Plus, my initial argument was not necessarily in favor of western, but in the detriment of Japanese dream pop, which scene's is as barren as a desert, even when you isolate it from comparisons. That guy's argument should've been that Fishmans are great because they match up and even surpass other top dream pop artists, and not because they're better than Japan's low effort scene. It's like emphasizing Negura Bunget's is Romania's top black metal band like that means something (there's hardly any other black metal coming from Romania).

"is it true you are tree qt"

I don't do drugs anymore so I'm not a tree, but I've been called qt before :blush:

"not sure what you are referring to, but this sounds about right"

I know Johnny doesn't agree with me sometimes mainly because I'm not an anime girl. Afterall, he betrayed his own country and moved to Tokyo just to seek the elusive Japanese puss. Btw have you played Hunnie Pop 2 yet? It's the best! Times like this when I can enjoy hentai games all by myself make me grateful I don't have a partner.

Also I back you up on that last comment, Pheromone. Beach House dominates dream pop so hard they should rename the genre to beach pop. I also love Ceres and Calypso in the Deep Time
