This panel has been a fan favorite for people that have seen it at Tekko over the years, and with me trying out panels at other conventions, I wanted to bring one of my most well known panels to NyanCon! J-Rock is changing into a more mainstream genre of music for the average anime fan through movies, video games, and anime! However, if you're looking to really dig deep into J-Rock, where do you start? In this panel, we talk about the history of J-rock, from its beginnings in the 1960s to modern day. We'll also talk about different bands that fit into all of the different genres of rock and metal that hail from the land of the rising sun. We'll also talk about some of the ways j-rock has broken into the general consensus here in the west, from supporting western bands on tours, to performing on late-night shows and popular movies, to memes! No matter if you just learned about j-rock through the hottest OP of the season, or if you're a seasoned veteran of Visual Kei and beyond, this panel is for you!
