Well I'd say in general when I see people talking about them they're weeaboos listening to everything Japanese. If you like them regardless of nationality then you still have my respect. Also the Japanese people, well they probably listen to them because they like them? You can't really compare since it's their native country/music and they aren't that much for Western stuff(unless it's like old people liking 70s rock). What I meant was the cultural difference and those weeaboo Japanophiles who embraces everything just because it's Japanese. Those people would probably hates as much if they were from the US for example.
